Wagga Wagga Base Hospital Auxiliary Op Shop

I love the new location and the range in this store! I've scored many a bargain at the old and the new location. The new shop however has much more room!

Now for what I came for.... I just joined google mail so I could leave this review to support the wonderful staff (who I believe volunteer their time) there as I am a bit perplexed as to why people would give a negative review about the store because they try to get a decent price for their stock.

The idea of running a charity shop like this would surely be to get the most money for the chosen cause, so saying that the shop should be cheaper and the concept of essentially giving away stock because they got it for free is not only ridiculous but counter productive.

Absolutely loved my visit here! Great bargains!

Great variety of all kinds of things, even plants! Great prices for a great cause. Staff very friendly too.

Ladies that work there are lovely and usually restocks some quality items every few weeks.

The wonderful ladies there help me above and beyond.

Great shop

Very friendly and clean

In my opinion they are quite overpriced. It put me off purchasing anything. Quite a few items were priced more than brand new.
LP Records were $5-25 where all all the other stores charge $1-2 for the exact same LP's.
Even heard the lady joke about how heavy handed she is with pricing and thinks she doing great. I spent $0 there, where as I had just spend on average of $40 at the previous 2 Op Shops I had just been to.
Store had a good selection and staff seemed nice even though I didn't interact with them.

I use to work a few doors down from this store and would see the overpriced second-hand goods in the display windows. I would often shake my head at the asking price for used goods at this store... it's distasteful to ask for so much for something you received for free. I thought perhaps its better instore... No, it wasn't. The whole point of the store's existence is to collect unwanted good and sell it back to the public that can't afford to buy new. Instead, you sell some items at 'as new' prices. You should be ashamed at yourselves. You want to help the community. Introduce the 'fill the bag' with clothes for $20.00 dollars. Or something that would help those on a small budget.

And yes, I acknowledge that there are people who are looking for antique bargains, well they aren't going to find it in your shop! You rob these people of the joy of finding a treasure. You aren't actually being ripped off if you sell a potential antique, item for less than it's possible worth BECAUSE YOU GOT IT FOR FREE. Here's a suggestion, the more stock you move the more money you make!
