Vinnies Chelsea Heights

“Used to be a great place to find a good bargain but recently prices have skyrocketed. There was a Burberry plastic raincoat priced at $700! I understand it’s designer but isn’t that the point of an op shop? People finding treasures and being able to purchase things they wouldn’t ever be able to afford. Someone once purchased that for a lot of money and DONATED it, I’m sure they didn’t intend Vinnies to sell it at such an extravagant price point, They have lost the plot. Today I was there and they had a jacket priced higher then the new price in the store, it’s so unfortunate that greed goes beyond helping the less fortunate.”

“old dirty lamp for $85 so ridiculous! horrible workers saying the most tone deaf things ive ever heard. saying they arent there to sell cheap things and they are there to make money. its called an opportunity shop for a reason. poor people deserve affodable things too.”

“One of the most overpriced Vinnies in Victoria, at least in terms of their menswear and kids' clothes. Taking the pi$$ with their prices (like most modern Salvos stores) is also of course environmentally irresponsible, given how few items they must sell (and appear to sell) in those departments as a result. Avoid.”

“Nice store and well organised but i find that items there are getting very expensive. I used to buy lots here but not so much anymore.”

“I regularly check this op shop out for new finds and it doesn't disappoint. Whilst it can sometimes be cheaper to buy a new top at Kmart these days there are still some bargains to be found, and let's face it that's why we go through the racks. There were a couple of designer bargains but only if you are a fricken size 8 ...as always but today I did top up my winter wardrobe and found a dress for an engagement party next month for $7. I parted with my $27 for four items pretty happily.”
