Salvos Stores New Town

I've had to change my review of 5 stars down to 2. The prices have recently gone up dramatically. On my last visit I saw damaged items of clothing ranging from $7 to $40. As well as undamaged items priced at least 50% more than they were a few weeks ago. They've become yet another op shop selling clothes and goods for what you would often pay new.

I understand that almost everywhere these days don't allow public to use their toilets.However anywhere I have worked or shopped/visit will make exceptions.For example a 2 year old needing the toilet, not salvos at new town.So needless to say for anyone who may fit the exception (elderly, pregnant, toddler), I would not go there unless you enjoy making a scene and mess of yourself.

Best op shop in Hobart. Love coming here to look for clothes, shoes, books, video games, whatever it is this store will more than likely have it. Staff are always friendly and helpful. There is a diverse range of clothes. If you are moving into a new place on a budget there is plenty of affordable furniture to set up a new place without breaking the budget. I stop in all the time because you never know what you're gonna get.

Generally a good op shop but you have to make sure you take your time as there is significant discrepancy in the pricing. Eg a well worn item with a brand name on it will be really expensive or you can get a new item with a less designer" name for $5. For example I bought a Miss Shop yellow jumper for $5 which was barely used were an almost identical but much more worn Seed equivalent was $25. I think it is getting a bit too brand focused rather than looking at the quality of the garment."

Most products are quite trashy and overpriced for the condition they're in. If you want a similarly large range of products for more reasonable prices, I reccommend going to the Vinnies on Argyle Street if you can make the trip.

Why are op shops charging so much for second hand clothing.went today and overpriced and not always in good shape. Just because it has a Brand name shouldn't make it more expensive .

Op shops can be hit and miss when it comes to men's clothing, however this store is the exception. It has a large range of pre-loved menswear on top of the usual offering of women's fashion, bric-a-brac & used furniture. The staff are friendly and the store large and clean.

Basically a treasure chest for those who love shopping for clothes and just anything you need at usually a fraction of the cost. Some flaws in the items are sometimes overlooked (there was a stain on a bag priced at $15) but otherwise there is a good range of books and shoes at reasonable prices.

I'd give -0 if i could.Aside from only assisting people that follow their religion (iv'e asked for help before and they refused me as i told them i'm not interested in joining any church when they asked me to sign some forms to join one for assistance. This was some years ago, hopefully this isn't a thing as pretty sure charities can't do that as a human rights issue and goes against what a charity is).Today i walked into this store. The shelves and displays we're absolutely crammed with stuff, a few people browsing in store. I looked at the first 2 glass cabinets at the front of the store, nothing seemed to be under $15. After browsing a little more of the cabinets i walked strait back out as i certainly can't afford anything from here, these are upper-class prices and certainly not a place that someone in financial need can afford or even justify spending when they can get cheaper new elsewhere. No wonder their store is crammed like a hoarders house because their customers/general public can't afford to buy anything.$45 for a cup set they literally got donated for free (seen the same set cheaper on ebay). $25 for a book they got donated for free. $110 for a small table statue. $8 for an anko shirt they sell instore brand-new for $5 (this has been noticed a few times by different people i've spoken too and their friends). See any patterns? Isn't a charity meant to offer secondhand items for affordable prices for the needy and low-income? Why are their prices more than that of a high end store selling new items? Why do they over-price used clothes from low-cost stores at above rrp? Aren't there laws against that?I've also heard from plenty of other's that they've attempted to donate perfectly good item's, but have been turned away because it's either not good enough or maybe has a minor issue, but still easily fixable/functionable. This is a very entitled expectation to have of literally free donated item's from people hoping to help another person. Why are charity worker's turning people away? Are they only expecting people to donate only high profit item's? This isn't how a charity works.Also Salvo's ebay store seems to be booming really well, especially with all their high end market prices. Kinda wonder if their ebay, etc stores are in any way being regulated? Ebay really is a great profit tool isn't it? They can sell all over the world! All seems very shady to me. Especially after the horrid things i've heard about this business (salvo's).This business/store/charity" needs to be investigated and held accountable. They don't even pay taxes on that profit. People donate to this business their possesions so that the needy can be helped

It’s ok expensive and dirty have wipes in car after there clothes over priced lots of books priced at 3/6 $ clothes start at 5/20$ to expensive dvds 2/10 or more
