AllisonW Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Sorry, we are still in SA. Just a suggestion, why doent you go and check out some charity or thrift shops, these often sell stacks of second hand clothes and kids really dont care. Here in JHB, i support the JHB hospice shop and i buy movies for my kids at R10 each, books from R5 to R10, toys at such cheap prices.Otherwise scan the internet and local papers for garage sales. I have heard that they are large in Oz. I even found a website for Oz where people can advertise their garage sales. You are sure to find bargains there.Good luck!Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riekie Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Get your local newspaper and go to the garage sales they advertise in the classifieds. I've bought many a bargain at garage sales such as Fisher Price Educational Toys $2 each, Sesame Street Camera with lights & sounds for $1, Roller Skates $5, Batman Tent $2, Action Figures 50c each, pack of 10 CD's $2, baby high chair $10 etc - All in perfect condition!! (Some might need a wipe down or a dust, but it is absolutely worth it!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help with toys, but you would be able to find some things at the local Good Sammy's store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandiceM Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hi Donaleen,Welcome to Perth!! I second the op shops like sammy's and salvos especially for books and puzzles. Also shops in Oz have really GREAT sales. Toys R Us has sales on at the moment with some of their things 80% off. Also check out the clearance section at Toys R Us, there are fantastic bargains there, normally the boxes are a bit ripped and torn, or its the last item on the shelf.Candice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelbournePienaars Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 HiI am in the same situation in Melbourne - anybody know of places I can buy good quality 2nd hand toys. Tried 1 Op shop in warrandyte but nothing there.

GottaGo Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Check with your local council to see if there is a Toy Library in your area. You can take toys out for 2/3 weeks at a time. You pay an annual fee. Anything from dress up outfits to bikes. There's one in Cockburn. Open on Saturdays. 27 March St, Spearwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
