Every chance I get, I will pop in. It's my favourite at the moment. Be ready to search for what you need/desire, take your time and look at everything.Racks are full, baskets full. The volunteers are a delight and do an amzing job, well done! Good old fashioned Op Shop that we know and love.
Great little opshop, you literally never know what you might find here, it's a treasure trove of preloved, vintage and antique items. I regularly pick up stuff for my niece and nephew here. As I work rather close by right now I always stop by in the window to see what's in the window. There are blanket prices for most clothing items and individual prices for most other items.
This Op Shop does have a lot of clothes, shoes, toys, books and bric a brac but it is really really tired looking. I guess the volunteers serve behind the counter and sort stuff out but you can tell no-one seems to care about the place. A pity because a well presented Op Shop (like Family Life, Salvo's and St. Vinnies in Hampton street) would attract more customers and more donations. One time I was there the youngish guy behind the counter was trying to impress a young female customer by going through every single bag they had, for her to put her single purchase in. It went on and on and on and on (20 bags at least) until yes I actually spoke up and said there were customers waiting.
A bit like Aladdin’s Cave. Price is a bit everywhere. But they had a half price sale and kids stuff were are dollar so not too bad today Don’t expect to be able to buy anything in their window display. They will redoing it as they shut this week for Christmas and won’t open for another month. But yet you won’t be buying the window display they’re not happy about that. Also , I don’t think they’re used to someone buying lots of stuff, and then having to half price most of it. Most of the staff are lovely, but it was one lady who was actually quite rude. They were quite busy with the sale, and people doing donations at the same time. And I think with me asking questions she was struggling to multitask. But there may be something else going on with her that I’m not aware of. So I’m not judging too harshly. The lady behind the register was lovely even though I have mountains of stuff she was getting very confused with the adding the clothes don’t have prices on them they just have a list. At the moment some stuff was halfprice some wasn’t. Which was very confusing for the ladies. Overall I spent two hours are there looking thoroughly and I still didn’t really look at everything. It is a bit messy a bit tired looking but it is a bit Aladdin pays looking. There’s always something to find. Prices are reasonable without a half price sale to begin with. So definitely worth a visit.
