Vinnies Moruya

“Prices were nowhere near a bad as I thought ! Good selection of clothes Big selection of women’s swim if anyone on the lookout Also very friendly staff”

“Can I firstly say, that the staff are wonderful, helpful & always cheerful & the store is always immaculate & well merchandised. I would like to know at what point did an Op Shop cease to be an Op shop & become almost a full retail store, the prices are so over the top & in many cases you can buy a brand new, same brand shirt on sale for the same price!, $15 for a shirt that has a yellow worn collar no matter what the brand is unacceptable, a men's used jacket & not in great condition $50, neck ties that were $3 are now ticketed with "Ties starting at $5 EA unless marked otherwise" all of them were $8 including terrible polyester ties that were in awful condition, so we have gone from $3 to $8!! A crystal bowl with scored scratches in the surface $35!! & I actually saw one item that I sold as brand new in a store I had years ago for $59.95......I was selling it @ $29.95 brand new!! I fully understand that this is a charity store & the proceeds go to the homeless & also many other important programs, however the overheads would be, rent, electricity & possibly a few other things. The point is, that this is not a Opportunity Shop, it's a retail store & if you are going to charge premium price then the stock needs to reflect that, i.e., spotlessly clean, laundered & ironed etc & with a warranty. When I was last in a man came in trying to find some clothes, he was visibly & from what I heard him saying a person in need of charity! he walked out after some time as he couldn't afford the prices........REALLY!! we need to remember the items are donated, I just can't understand why Moruya & Narooma are far more expensive than any other Vinnies I have ever visited. I watched a segment on a morning show plugging Vinnies & the great bargains, one of the presenters purchased a Chanel dress for $49! & many other hot bargains.....alas that Chanel dress would have been at least hundreds at the Moruya store, I have been told that the staff cruise the internet to set the prices, that is very inappropriate, I will always support charity however this store needs to re evaluate their pricing & direction & not bite the hand that feeds them, alas otherwise the public will just buy new.”

“Nice shop and good range of items but prices are crazy expensive, lots of items i liked but walked out with nothing. Understand for charity still has to be affordable”

“Such a shame that the prices are so high! Many families depend on charity shops to get basic clothes and needs for their kids and this Vinnies takes that away from low income people.”

“They have some great items of good quality, however the prices are prohibitive. Almost everything in the store was overpriced in comparison to other op shops. Some items are priced over retail price. Would love to shop here again if the prices are adjusted to reflect the going rate of op shops.”
