Opportunity Knocks reviews
18 + The book selection rivals the annual Save The Children book sale at UWA.
+ Staff are really lovely
- one of the more expensive op shops I've been to. Some stuff they know what they have, others are just overpriced. It felt more like a book reseller than an op shop. Ironically, I'd just come here after buying secondhand niche science books from BirdFest and checked here in their science/nature section to see nearly retail prices on their stock, compared to the dollar per book I'd just spent at the BirdLife event. The UWA sale I mentioned earlier is much cheaper too.
- the clothes/etc section in the main building was very messy and awkward to get around
Great place as has small cafe next door plus toilets and parking. Lots of books which I was looking for and other stuff.
Ridiculously overpriced selling a used kmart doll $15.00 dearer than kmart! Just one of many overpriced items. Shame the Balcatta store is awesome
Horrendously overpriced for second-hand. Purchased a jacket that I didn't realise was stained at the time and they will not accept returns. Such a shame given the Balcatta ParaQuad is one of the best op shops you'll find.
Enormous second-hand bookshop staffed by people living with disabilities. Wide range of items, including children's books and audiobooks. Located at the end of the road on the right-hand side.
The op shop is large and tidy and the staff is friendly. The aare some bargains to be found if you are willing to take your time and rummage.
Really like this big store. Lots of quality stuff though you do pay a little more for it. Toilets in the nextdoor building too! Thankyou!
Interesting bric-a-brac
Some things are quite reasonable price
Suit someone tried to set up a new place cheaply
Great hidden Gem. Good selection, practical layout and the staff are always willing to give more than 100 percent.
Great to learn from them. Inspiring.
One of the best initiative by Subiaco Council. Also don't forget to check out the Book shop in the front.
Well done
Everyone that works there is so lovely. Young man (I think named Philip) was so sweet. All the customers seem to know and love him. Very friendly place to visit and find treasures. It's a large shop
Love this OpShop! They have a huge range and lots of furniture/home wares. I find a bargain every time.
I tried to drop off donations and was treated so rudely, I have a mobility disability and they refused to help me with my donations.
Lovely, big second hand shop. Well organised, friendly staff. Lots of stock, and big range: clothing, shoes, kitchen, books, toys, electrical, furniture, gym, camping. Wide variety of quality as well as prices - some (usually brand new) stuff can be more expensive but also has lots of older stock, I have found many amazing bargains.
Was very dissapointed with the prices. For an op shop the prices were very very high. Walked out of the shop with nothing.
Beautifully presented store! So much of the women's clothing stock is brand new with tags. Books, menswear, and furniture here too.
This place is HUGE! Didn’t find any good clothes but if you are looking for furniture or household goods this is a great place to checkout.
Very over priced, I understand they are a charity and are doing a good thing but a lot of their second hand goods aren't that far off retail/ ebay price.
Just like all other charity shops the prices are very high for anything they have that is worth something.
