Vinnies Lilydale

“Had a wonderful experience here! Staff were so kind and friendly towards myself and my children. Although our trip was quick, from the items I was interested in they were priced well :) Will absolutely be back!”

“Some of the most expensive prices I've ever seen in an op shop to date. As an example saw a nice dress and had to double check the price at the counter- $50 for a used casual dress that retails full price new at maybe $60-80! Not even with tags or something, actually used. The person at the counter said that's just how it's priced not didn't know why. I go to a lot of op shops, and it's very sad to be that level of extreme profiteering, especially as a visitor to the town seeing that there is a lovely local op shop with much more reasonable prices that this one could learn some things from.”

“Been shopping here for years, but noticed many items are now priced to market values. Been told the store cross reference items with Ebay prices. Don't ask to negotiate the sale price as I have been denied over and over. It's a real shame as I want my money to go to a good cause but feel that the essence of Op Shopping is no longer the same. I am questioning who I donate my items if pricing of items are out of reach for those at these stores that really need them.”

“Such a little store that my mother & I expected to spend about 10min there but to our surprise we spent cpl hours. The store has a lot of great bargains U just have to be prepared to look through everything as it's a bit mucked around with different sizes being all over the rack. The only thing I'd pick on (but it evens out if U find an expensive item at a very cheap price) is all kids unnamed items are $2 so with Kmart & the other major stores selling same but brand new for $1.50 more It's hard to justify buying even slightly stained clothes for $2 The staff were lovely & helpful so not sure if just having a bad day but lady serving could've smiled a little instead of making me feel I was being a bother using voucher cards & not paying cash. I even took all the coat hangers off & folded everything so the prices were visible doing most of her job for her already. As I said just could've been a bad day, it was horrible, grey & wet all day. Parking was easy & directly out the front. Within a short walk U have a Salvos Store as well. The Saint Vincent De Paul Emergency Help is an amazing group of volunteers that have helped my family more than i could even begin to explain. From 2002 Frankston Emergency Help, Helen was our shining star, always so helpful & caring she even met us at the hospital to help with fuel voucher to get our NB baby home who had been in extra time being 3weeks early. To Lilydale Emergency Help's staff who above & beyond their duties when it comes to helping a family in need. They even came on a Saturday after I thought I'd been forgotten Friday & stressing about our next accommodation as we have moved due to a domestic situation. Back to the store, I was able to get some lovely Shein & David Lawrence jeans for my eldest daughter & a heap of pants and tops for my youngest so I was very happy with the outcome. Oh & a pair of slippers for my mum, jewelry for youngest as well as a toy she chose.”

“Lovely and incredibly wonderful staff, some great bargains to be had as well. In the home wares section they have a 10 for $1 section where you can find a great range of ceramic plates and mugs. So many great finds to be had and a really reasonable prices as well! Cannot speak highly enough of the super duper staff! Favourite op shop in the east, without a doubt! :D”
