This place used to be great before it moved, now it’s extremely overpriced, the new lady is so rude and makes up prices as she pleases. It’s a shame as it was my go to for crafts, now buying new is cheaper then scraps from here.

We are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your experience, Sarah. As we are recieiving new donations in every day, it is impossible for us to have everything pre-priced, so the cashier team do have to price on the go. While they may look like they are making it up, it is based on their experience with reuse resources. As a fully self funded not for profit, we do the best we can. We do hope you will give us another try.

So much fun to thrift and find knick-knacks. Very useful for young designers with briefs specifying recycling as a must. I bought a huge industrial roll of paper (easily 15kg+) for only $30. They have quirky things from mannequins to everyday usefuls like haberdashery and books. Lady who served me was a little funny, ranting about religion and accepting everyone - none-the-less an eco-friendly and unusual way to shop for things.

if you are making an art or craft project this is the place to go. they always have amazing things to inspire the creative side of your brain. The also have fantastic furniture I bought 4 sets of shelves for my workshop for $10 each. Everything is second hand and some of its not in the best condition but other stuff is almost new. Its a great place to visit often as there is always something different.

great place to rummage if you've got a handy project coming up or if you're looking for some inspiration. It's fun trawling through the big bins, perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

it was really good, as it is really cheap, if your after some brick-a-brack for a DIY projects. It is really cheap and although there aren't many staff, they are very helpfull and nice. Also, it's good because it's a NOT-FOR-PROFIT organization.

Helpful shop assistants. CoFA students receive $30 of credit with the showing of the CoFA Student card. Rejected items from companies. Interesting to visit. Cheap. Sell various pieces including material off cuts, perspex, foam board, glass bottles, large rolls of paper + heaps more. Great way to recycle plus its generally run by volunteer staff.

Awesome. Unique. Visit regularly. Perfect for artists, jewelery makers, mixed media. Also surrounded by weekend local markets. Good vibe. Good step for a cleaner earth, recycling what could be just thrown out for good use.
