In Short
Savvy buyers keep the joint packed with merchandise from virtually every decade. You never know what you'll find, from couture pieces to last season's French Connection pleather slacks. Don't miss the cutting-edge accessories (gold '70s chain necklaces and new Playboy-brand wallets) and the huge shoe section, which features killer castoffs such as studded red-leather sandals and Lucite-and-gold heels from such labels as Chinese Laundry.

Always adding more items so the selection is great if you can get past the smell, location is good too...

I do believe that customer service is a big deal in the retail world, it helps with the overall shopping experience. Wasteland's (Melrose) customer service is terrible, for example, while waiting for a dressing room (by the way ALL the dressing rooms were empty and ready for customers) I was tortured to stand and wait through two employees conversation about how drunk they were the night before. I was completely ignored. Other unappealing aspects about shopping at Wasteland (Melrose) includes: -Buyers who are not familiar with brands, $22 for a BCBG dress which retailed at $300? $18 for Zanotti sandals that retailed at almost $400? and everything was in great condition and from recent Spring and Summer seasons (I myself used to be a buyer for Buffalo Exchange, therefore I would NEVER sell anything in bad condition). -Employees at this particular location are snobby and unapproachable. The Santa Monica location has a much better staff! -The racks had very few items on them - - I understand it makes it more "shopabble", but less selection. I will continue to shop at the Santa Monica Location.

One of the best shops on Melrose, by far! You have to be prepared to sort through a lot of stuff, but you can totally find some great things for pretty cheap! I found an amazing pair of boots for $35! Set aside a good chunk of your Saturday afternoon for it though. But it's so worth it.
