YES it is a good little op shop and no one seems to buy the arty stuff that I like; but you have to go in regularly . When I am home I go in everyday and my taste is definitely eclectic.
the prices are slowly rising as some guy has opened a second hand antique shop intown and he buys stuff locally amnd marks it up hundreds of percent-and of course the locals know and prices in op shops and sales are rising!! THE B#$TARD ( OLD MOTTO---NEVER SH%T ON YOUR OWN DOORSTEP )
As far as St Vinnies is concerned they are way toooo expensive and anything I buy there would be priced low.
I don't do garage sales but when I travel if I see a op shop / sale etc I will pop in.
I don't buy to sell so inevitably I have a garage that is full of boxes that are full of STUFF.
I hate going into op shops with my wife as she spends way to much time looking at cloths etc etc ; in saying that, women get some fantastic bargains re clothing etc in op shops that men never would.
I can walk in and scan the place and be out in a minute if I see nothing interesting.
And I always ask the ladies if thee is anything out the back
Several weeks ago I was up in southern QLD and found a second hand shop; well I left with 3 boxes full of stuff costing a total of $51 ; I could hardly fit it in the car and I couldn't get out of there quick enoughNext week iIwill post pics of the items found.
Anyway below another find for $1 each , Garfield mugs still with the made in Japan sticker on bottom from my local great op shop------------
off to Canberra now---------have a great day folks.
