  "If you know anything about vintage apparel and accessories, then one look at Ragamuffins' inventory is all you need to know that there are some serious finds to be found. Unfortunately there's not a lot for guys, but if you're a girl, then you're in luck. And if you're into vintage shoes, you're really in luck. On the far back shelf there's a pair of white go-go boots that Barbarella would have gone crazy for. We also found a box of knit hats that the Buffalo News delivery boys were outfitted with (odd). Trench coats, mini skirts, handbags and belt buckles can be found everywhere. Plus, the prices are excellent, especially if you're accustomed to seeing the vintage markups in NYC and Toronto."⁴
