Small and squishy store, yes. Small library of books packed together, yes. However the quality of books couldn't be beaten. Though books ranged in conditions from acceptable to very good, I found some books worth good money at very cheap prices, even finding within a small range of 50% off books 2 books at $1.50 and $2.00 respectively. Books were priced according to whoever priced the books on the day, not on the size. Some larger books are at $3.00 each while a few smaller books at $4.00 but more the former (which is great). Only looked at half the books so far because I was going to have dinner soon as well as the store closing for the day soon, and came with 6 books in total. Rippa!
There are many kinds here, lots to choose from, but it's very narrow and the clothes hangers are placed rather densely.
This op shop is choc full... clothes racks on walls are very close, meaning that when busy customers can't pass one another. Lots of variation in pricing and friendly volunteers. (Salvos next door could take some advice in customer service). Huge range of $1 DVDs and reduced clothes - worth a forage.
A good Vinnies with a good range. Plenty of clothes and heaps of books for a rainy island day. Staff are always absolutely lovely and happy to chat. Certainly a better op shop than the local salvos.
