As much appeal as there may be for the shiny and brand new in this world, some of the best things you can find have a history behind them. In a world where practically everything comes off of a conveyor belt, the unique and one of a kind are coveted. Thrifting is practically a sport for those who are determined enough. If you want to find some treasures within the Twin Cities, you’ll definitely need to visit one of these ten thrift shops.

It's really difficult to explain the appeal of Ax-Man to anyone until they've been inside the floor-to-ceiling artifacts space. Ax-Man sells strange items, such as Jesse Ventura action figures and chemistry class grade beakers. Nothing makes sense in this thrift store, which is what makes it so special.

Ax-Man Surplus: 1639 University Ave. W, Saint Paul, MN 55104.
4. Buffalo Exchange
