From a buyer standpoint Common Ground was the best shopping experience I’ve had in the city.I went to three different shoe stores yesterday and Common ground was the only store that seemed like they wanted to sell me sneakers.As soon as I walked in it was business. The associate listened to what I needed and began grabbing things off the shelf. It was exactly what I was looking for.The other two stores weren’t interested in me at all as a customer and lost potential money because of it.Specifically I went into Lapstone and Hammer and went straight to the lady near the shoes. Told her I needed sneakers, don’t know anything about them, don’t own any, want something respectable, and she simply pointed at the wall of shoes and said “there you go”. 🙃Glad common ground has people who actually want to sell you things. Can’t wait to come back.
Great staff! Very friendly and helpful! I went in to sell but they explained I would make more money consigning if I wasn’t in a rush. I’m very thankful for that. I sold anyway lol. They are fair and I appreciate it!!
Great store!! Very helpful when I have went to consign. I’m glad to see they are making during these crazy times!!! Thank you and be safe guys!!
Please don’t ever try to sell something here. They’ll get it sold no problem but then will give you two thousand and ten reasons why they don’t have your check. It’s the worst thing ever. Lies after lies after lies. Happened to me and several of my family members and friends. I hope they shut down during Covid and never come back. POS STORE.
Love this shop! I can always grab vintage tees at great prices. Great selection of sneakers & accessories! My spot for a complete last minute fit!
I wanted to help a local business and consigned a bunch of sneakers here, as things sold it was always one excuse or another of why I could not receive my payout. Took over 5 months to receive my check from them. Do not recommend consigning anything with them. As you can see, many sellers had this same issue with the owner here of holding payouts or making up excuses about the checks not arriving.
Best shop around! They always have great deals and the hottest sneakers. Love their vintage section too, great selection!!
Dependable! If I miss a drop, I can always count on these guys to have the shoes I want at a reasonable price! Great atmosphere as well!
Im giving it a 2 star because the place has a nice collection and reasonable prices, but from a seller point of view they are unreliable and unprofessional and Im guessing the owner probably smokes too much gas cause he always forgets his promises and it took me about a month to receive my check after selling my shoes. AND the union jordan 1s I saw on display were definitely fake.
Extensive selection and competitive prices compared to other stores in the area
Very disappointing experience. Will be my first and last. Brought in a hoodie in May to be sold, they ended up losing it. I was told I would receive a check by default because of they’re mistake. I come in as I was told to retrieve my check for my product. The owner acted as if I was in the wrong, and made it really hard to collect what was rightfully mine. This place lacks customer service in the biggest way.Owner is obnoxious and has no sense of accountability. Staff look like nice kids that are just trying to make a living, but are just as clueless as the owner. Very disappointed in this black owned business.
Open during a winter blizzard!! So happy.Got some of the best range in sneakers & clothing I have seen across America.The owner was extremely helpful also. Thanks for the vintage shirt.
They have a great selection, I can never leave the store without buying something. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Such a great shop!
My friend recommended me from New York to check out the store. Loved the variety the store offered from high end to everyday wear! Def will be back soon to buy more! Thanks guys!!
Although I didnt end up buy anything, it was a great experience. great selection, knowledgeable staff. Will be back again
Warning customer service was horrible! We felt creeped out and insulted.
Great shop! Amazing selection especially with the vintage tees! Definitely will be back!
Brought in a pair of bapes last summer to their old location. Never saw an Instagram post or any sort of promotion. Went to their new location this summer to pick up my bapes because I found a buyer. I was told they were in the middle of transitioning stores so they were still trying to get their inventory in order. Told me to come back the next week. Came back the next week and was told by an sales associate that the shoes were either sold or lost. Therefore, they would pay me the money they were originally posted for. Told me to come back the next week to retrieve the check because I arrived came by in the middle of the pay period. Came back the next week and was told by the manager that he didn’t know why the sales associate said that and that the “boss man” would text me when the money came thru. This was 2 months ago. About to file a police report or something because the shoes were worth a significant amount of money.Update: owner responded. Was told they had checks(?) for me for weeks. Yet when I went in 3 separate times the guys working said there were no checks for me. Told me to email to try to square away (I did). This was last week and still no response.
I handed them a pair of sneaks to be sold. Long story short I sold them for a higher price suggested and the charged me $10 to retrieve them. In which the manager that has been working there for 3 years failed to mention.
The best in the city, not even close - great service, friendly shopping environment - employees answer any questions you have. Thanks again for the great shopping experience!
Great staff and environment. Love this place !
Best prices in Philly. Mix of vintage and hype. Check it out!
Sick collection of shoes here not much for size selection but some good collabs and limited editions.
Does common ground buy used and DS sneakers ?
Always a pleasure going to common ground. Friendly service n the hottest selection.
Went into the store today for the first time and they had a great selection of rare shoes for a reasonable price. Although I didnt buy anything all of the employs were very kind.
DONT TRY TO CALL THEM SOMEONE JUST ON THE PHONE ALL OF THE TIME CANT EVEN FIND OUT IF THEY ARE PEN!CAME TWO TIMES THERE SAID ON LINE OPEN TILL 9PM AND SHOP WAS CLOSED BOTH TIMES ON SATURDAY UNREAL.
Exclusive deals and premium clothing brands at more reasonable prices
Amazing selection of clothes and shoes. Didnt end up buying anything but the amazing customer service made up for it!
Very cool. very nice. I like it.
Really good people and good prices.
Best sneaker store in center city.
Never been here but I was wondering if someone could reply to me if its worth the hour drive to cop some shoes
Best consignment store in the world!
Sold shoes on consignment over a month ago and have not received the money for the shoes yet. Disappointing service . I hope i receive my money.
Oops lol sorry about that never been but I’m sure your store is great
Supremely terrible staff.
Bad attendance
Nice
Weak
Worst experience I’ve EVER had a consignment shop in my life. Very unprofessional, rude and lazy. The staff gives wrong information and are unapologetic for it once confronted. They are able to sell your items quick but give you the run around about paying you. I was told to come back in multiple times to pick up my check only for it to never be there. 4 trips over 4 weeks to the store were wasted based off of wrong information. I contacted the owner to get some answers and was met with nothing but hostility. He’s very condescending and rude. He is the most unprofessional business owner I’ve ever dealt with. His bad attitude and horrible reputation has been proven to be true. DO NOT CONSIGN WITH THESE PEOPLE!! I repeat DO NOT CONSIGN WITH THEM!!!!
