Salvos Store

Given the demographics of Doncaster and surrounding burbs it doesn’t come as a huge surprise that this store is constantly filled with high-​end secondhand stock. Located a couple of K’s behind the big mall this store offers a surprisingly awesome level of selection.
With seven donation bins waiting patiently out the front and a whole basement full of stock this gives you some idea of their level of turnover. There are several racks devoted wholly to designer clothing and retro/​costume racks with actual vintage pieces. Don’t get too excited though, the staff know their stuff and price the stock accordingly. It’s still cheaper than looking for vintage pieces around Collingwood/​Fitzroy but don’t expect back of the church shop prices.
There is a huge selection of kids clothing, bric a brac, sports equipment and electrical goods. There is also A LOT of vinyl, I found Carly Simon and ELO without even trying. So if you’re up for the drive (public transport is almost impossible) Doncaster Salvos is worth a visit.
