Buffalo Exchange
Secondhand storeBuffalo Exchange is a secondhand store in Tempe, AZ. You’ll find it at 227 W University Dr, Tempe, AZ 85281. It’s one of 27 secondhand and resale shops we track in Tempe.
The store keeps hours seven days a week, including Sunday, staying open as late as 8 PM on its longest days. Thrift hours change seasonally and around holidays, so a quick call before a long drive is worth it.
Secondhand stores buy or take in used goods and price them to move, so the floor changes constantly; expect a mix of everyday clothing, housewares, and the occasional standout piece priced well below retail. Buffalo Exchange buys gently used items outright for cash or store credit, so you can sell as well as shop; see our Buffalo Exchange guide for what it takes and how payouts work.

Before you go
- Ask at the register which tag color is on sale this week and which is newest — the sale racks are cheap, the newest racks are where fresh donations land.
- Check garments under good light for stains and test every zipper; most thrift sales are final.
- Bring a tape measure and your key measurements — sizes vary wildly across eras and brands.
- Sunday hours are on file (11 AM – 7 PM), so it fits a weekend circuit.
- Selling? Bring items clean, folded, and in season; buy-sell-trade stores pay more in store credit than in cash.
