Massive store = massive stock. Like all charity op shops recently, you can see and know that the Monopoly on this industry is up for grabs. AND DON'T THEY KNOW IT. Too expensive, dirty retail area and staff who are volunteers, who clearly don't care. Additionally, I take offense to any charity that receives ALL their stock directly from donations, chooses to not turnover stock due to prices are way too steep. No longer have a barter system in place to negotiate a reasonable price when bundling +5 items. I not unreasonable person, the same applies to all op shops, turnover of stock is better than higher profits. Nowadays they are turning donations away all for overpriced items, old stock and an ordinary shopping experience when it used to be fun! All charity op shops need a alternative direction for the future!

Good place to find some bargains. Best for books as demand is less than supply :) Date of visit - Oct 2025 I am not a big fan of 2nd hand clothes and cookware. But I found some decoration items and pens etc there at good pricing. And the best was books. Very few people were browsing them and I think the demand is less and I got good deal. Picked up 8-10 books and was very happy. Parking is easy and just sufficient. The staff friendly ad helpful. Will I go there again? Definitely for more books :)

Great opshop , stock was well organised. The staff were friendly and negotiable on items. Priced to sell items not put them on display... Cds were cheap DVDs were priced well. Clothing was clean and organised. Thanks for the Skylanders box set we managed to find the game that goes with it.. I even found 4 GameCube games in with DVDs ... Great score. Vinnies opshops are doing a great thing ...

I donate here more than I buy and I come here when I need something I don't wanna buy down the shops, yknow? Like today. I absolutely do not want to buy a Stephen King book on eBay, Amazon or down at Waurn Ponds. Sadly, for reasons I can intuit yet not articulate, no one including here has King novels. Nor vintage Mills and Boon. Good selection of oldschool ties. Love, love how to kitchenwares are stacked by colour, absolute genius for coordinating. Carpark is very generous. Fyans St can be busy and weird bc of the many business exit points and as of June 2024, the roundabout roadworks (and as I experienced today, some people think they are King of The Carparks and cede no sense and no right of way to no mortal).
