This is not a huge store but they've crammed alot into the space they do have to utilise. There's a…read morefew reasons I come to Betts, one is Airflex, they are a comfy work shoes brand that were a godsend during my event management career (and doing 12 hr shifts). Another is Skechers, I've found some cute as pairs of these on the cheap here in the past. Finally, they are constantly having a 30-50% off sale on various items throughout the seasons. As someone who prefers not to be wearing the latest fashions with the rest of society I enjoy sifting through the less popular styles in the clearance area and finding some absolute gems. If you're still not convinced, I got a pair of sparkly, mid calf boots here for 20 bucks once. In a nutshell - another reason why I have a spare room just for my shoes to live in!

I am not entirely sure what the owner's purpose for running this op shop is. It doesn't appear to…read morebe for a charity, but prices are so cheap that I can't really see it as a place for people who want to make wads of folding money. The only other possibility I can think of is that the owners/workers are passionate about thrift in general, or maybe about recycling and cutting down waste, but I really don't know. Whatever their motives the result is an op shop that has items that are dirt cheap. I often find myself scurrying quickly away from the place in case they change their mind and charge me double on my items--that's right, a whole 80 cents, that's almost a $1! There is even an area outside and to the right of the entrance that has a sign "FREE" where items are free for people to take. No matter how many times you double check, they really mean it, that area is free. From the free zone I've wombled home wine glasses and shoe preservation boxes. Inside the store is three rooms: one for clothes, one for kitchenalia, and one for bric-a-brac and books. They've said they also have a furniture section but if there is one I couldn't work out how to get there but my guess is that it is next door to the main shop.

Suggest people search www.secondchanceinc.org to find out what this charity is all about. The…read morefurniture section is huge and is at 131 Richmond Road, Richmond, 5042. A very worthwhile organisation!

No it's not an adult shop or a waxing salon, it's a second hand clothing shop and what a find it is…read moreas you won't find it online or in a phone book. Word of mouth seems to be the way or by driving past, but they would get so much more if they were at least on Facebook, somewhere with a in print presence. Go to there...the clothes are great second hand prices and it has lots of different styles and a kaleidoscope of colours. It advertises that it has a mix of new and old items and clothing and it works... the new does perk up the old in the shop. Not only clothing but also home and gift ware, again a mix of new and old, shoes, bags, pictures, statues, ornaments, the ever present candles, lamps, hats, scarves, jewellery, etc. It's a delightful little shop in an unlikely corner of the world but with a little effort to advertise online, will make a huge difference to its evolution.

Love the black and white colour scheme which goes hand in hand with the Parisian theme inspired…read moreshop and again it's amazing what a paint job and some decor can do. And not forgetting to mention the black chiffon chandelier...nice. The women's clothing boutique has only been open since October 2010 and has a small following, as with all new shops it takes a while to become known and established. Apart from clothes there's jewellery and handbags plus other accessories, so there's an appropriate mix. The change rooms are spacious which is great. So I hope I inspire a few of you to go and check it out. There's a good range of summer clothes and when I was here today, I looked through a long rack of 50% off clothes but alas didn't have my size. Talking about size the range goes from about an 8 to 16 and price wise is very good from approximately $15 to $80. I looked on their website which mentions every Saturday they have 'happy hour' from 10 - 11am as everything is 10% off. Now this is something very unique and I haven't seen or heard of any other clothing store doing such a promotion. Well done Ruby for some lateral thinking. Their website is nifty and also have a Facebook presence, check it out.
