I’ve been shopping and selling at Ransack for a few years now and always recommend it to friends who are looking for high quality vintage. Not only is the inventory unique and extensive, but the staff is so warm and helpful. I always bring my vintage I’m hoping to rehome here first, because they give such care and a fair price to the selections they make. Scout and Sami are top tier humans and I couldn’t recommended making a pit stop at Ransack enough if you’re ever passing through.

My partner and I were going to go to LA over the long weekend but decided to explore Oceanside instead. I had been wanting to visit Ransack for a while; the last time I came was when they were in their old spot. Let me tell you, I’m so glad we decided to drive up here. We had a great time exploring some Oceanside shops and restaurants, but Ransack was a highlight. The ladies at the shop were really sweet and welcoming. The selection of vintage is absolutely amazing and even my uber picky partner (he’s not even a vintage fan actually) was SUPER impressed. Yes, some pieces might be slightly on the pricey side (note, slightly) but totally fair in my opinion. With vintage you’re buying something completely unique and old, that somebody took time to source from somewhere. This ain’t goodwill - this is a shop with curated, quality vintage, run by people who know their stuff. I’m so happy I found my dream Levi’s denim jacket here, and I almost took home a pair of carpenter pants too but they were too tight - darn! What impressed me the most was the selection of old, dreamy dresses - next time I need a dress for a wedding I will for sure come back. Anyway, we had a great time in O Side and will for sure be back soon!

Incredible curated vintage clothes of the highest quality. The vintage denim is enough to make one a denim head, I'd never seen some of these collectible pieces in person before (rare Levi's jackets, mule's ear jeans, neat WWII coveralls...). Lots of western and 1950s-60s. Cute vintage dresses (though sizing for oldest pieces trends very small). Pricing is very fair, but that can mean a chunk of change for the collectible items. I will head back for the vintage western shirts, and maybe go better prepared to spend on denim.

Ransack is my happy place. I always find the best treasures here and the team who runs it are wonderful humans. It's a must visit if you're in the San Diego area <3

Ohmygosh. Where to start?! This is by far my favorite vintage store in Southern California 💓 My very first purchase from Ransack was in 2021: a pair of turquoise boots that I still wear to this day! When I don’t get a chance to shop in person, I’ve collected some closet staples through their instagram story sales. Sizing can be so tricky when you can’t try something on in person, but Sami always helps me and I’ve gotten the best vintage Levi’s of my life 👖 🔥 Thank you Ransack! Here’s a picture of me looking like a giddy fool!

I’ve only ever shopped online here, but I’ve always encountered wonderful service, prompt responses, and have always received my items so quickly. I love the little stickers that are sent with my order and I appreciate the extra gift of socks given to me prior. They also have a wonderful selection of items.

I bought a really cool Spuds McKenzie tshirt from their brick and mortar in October and have been following their online presence ever since. The vibes in the store were immaculate, everything is so beautifully curated and cared for. I look forward to buying more vintage goods when I visit again!
