Op Shops seem to have stupid pricing these days. They have so much stuff being donated that they dont always even accept donations, and then instead of putting reasonable prices on things to sell quickly they mark it up so much it's often not worth buying.
I've been going to op shops all my life and I think they've finally lost my business. The clothes and kitchen ware cost more than new. Interesting items seem to be marked at their maximum ebay value, eg, the donkey kong hand held for $250!
it got popular, cant blame 'em for trying to make a buck. Can blame 'em for trying to make a buck on Kmart donations though. The anko shit was rough when it was brand new, certainly no better now.
I feel like they're pretty much just cash converters except they don't pay anything for the stuff they sell
