Great shop. Large and full of clothes but I still found some discs and books I wanted. Friendly woman at the counter. I did wonder why people would give bad reviews and I was surprised to see complaints about too-high prices. It's definitely not too pricey! Update: Brought my wife in and she got quality leather boots $35 and a Country Road silk dress $20. As a charity-run thrift/op shop its profits go to Vinnies goals therefore they attempt to maximise profits - our choice whether we buy - rather than satisfy selfish entitled browsers/customers.
Big vinnies. Since this vinnies came under new management last year its changed into a shadow of itself, now focussing on clothes. The upper floor got a good refresh / new paint to address the leak/mold corner and looks good again. Lots of the non-clothing stock has disappeared though (i assumed binned as not aligned to new concept) with quite a few empty shelves. Vinnies only accepted clothes as donations recently…a whole new section of new items of some bedding/linnen brand. Shame as the stock is more now far more plain than before and more generic kmart type items. Maybe they sell more unique items via different channels these days. Prices for bric-a-brac have gone up significantly and often are close to retail. Votive 18 dollars, new at peters of kensington for 22 dollars. Kmart fake plant 10 dollars, same price new. It used to be one of my favourites, but like Maroubra this new concept is not for me I guess.
This is a huugggee vinnies, with 2 levels. Now if you like scouring the vinnies stores to buy and sell on ebay, this store is rather pricey, but some good deals can be had especially in one particular section, but I can't say which because they will read this and jump up the prices. Ok now even if you are a regular shopper this is still a very pricey vinnies for a charity shop, but there you go I just answered my own question, it all goes to charity Wheelchair accessible entrance and parking, but no toilets. There is a pub next door. I still recommend as it's always fun rummaging thru a vinnies
