Vinnies Narooma

“Not much stock ”

“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 collar & visibly worn is not right, that is just one example, the glassware & china is way over the top, $100 for a incomplete teaset, $100 for a 3 piece canister set........REALLY, and it continues. I fully understand that this is a charity store, 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. 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 Narooma 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.”

“We come every year and always find something.”

“I work for Vinnies 2 days a week as a volunteer and find it very productive. I have met many people from the community and is a good workplace.”

“Great charity store! Spent a day here volunteering. Store is well run, friendly, dedicated staff both paid and volunteers doing a great job to present the donations from the community for resale to the public. The way this store presents is a credit to Vinnies Charitys to raise revenue to help those in need. If you have time volunteer or come buy yourself a bargain or two knowing things are being repurposed, recycled, reduce waste, and funds raised help others👍👍👍”
