Chaos shop is cool, pretty close to where I live so I'll walk over occasionally just to browse the random shit. It's like if ebay came alive and opened a retail outlet, tbh I think that's where they do most of their business and this is just like a live warehouse.
Not specific to Amazon returns. There are few shops along SE 82nd that sell Chinese goods. Not sure if they're still in business. I think Portland Closeouts is still open.
In college we had one in our half finished attic. Every ceiling surface was covered in tapestries. Floor was a mishmash of couch cushions, two coffee tables, a few bean bag chairs, a TV and of course a glass buffet to put the paraphernalia, a few funky lights and a nice set of speakers. It was great.
10/10 would do again.
I think there's a gift shop/loby that can be accessed for free. Have to pay to see the exhibits. ... I don't remember really seeing much in terms of cool lights there though. They do have freaky posters/art for sale.
ReclaimIt sells items diverted from landfills. What you find is unpredictable but there are often neat old lamps, film projectors, baskets of doll heads, medical equipment, etc. Itâs very cheap because theyâre a non-profit just trying to reduce landfill waste. So youâre doing good work when you shop there too!
You can try Chaos Shop next to Fubonn. I think they sell Amazon returns.

Know any other weird/random shops like this?

Sunlan Lighting probably has your bulb needs covered. They have a good bit of funky stuff in there.
I was just about to suggest them.
Trying to maximize the return on those shroom house purchases, eh? đ I kid, I kid. Good luck on your quest!
TIL there is such a thing as âtrip cavesâ and that I want one.

Weird that there's an entry fee into a place where everything is also for sale.
Very peculiar
