carboot sales n second hand shops

Hi just wondering do they have carboot sales and second hand shops down under we are bringing nothing with us when we emigrate so will need to get stuff as cheaply as possible :unsure:

Hi there! There are heaps of ways you can pick up all kinds of inexpensive second-hand stuff cheaply. Where are you looking at moving to? In WA for example there's a publication called the Quokka (also available on line at Classifieds by Quokka Online). There's also Gumtree (Free Classifieds | Buy, Sell, Jobs, Property & More | Gumtree Perth) and places like the Good Samaritans, who sell lots of different kinds of stuff second hand (Shopping - Good Samaritan Industries). So yes there are quite a few options

Hi

Garage sales seem to be popular here with a section of the local paper dedicated to adds for saturday garage sales. normally start at around 6.30 to 7am. Be early for the best stuff.

Second hand shops try the "Op Shops" (charity shops) some have some very good stuff in them, we paid $100 for a brand new bed and matress. That had been donated by a local manufacturer.

We have a local paper that can be picked up from most places, just for 2nd hand stuff, and it has its own web site as well.

Yup Garage Sales and Opshops are the local vernacular. Also take a look at Freecycle for the area you will be living in

Freecycle is FABULOUS! Get rid of all your junk and pick up things you need! Definitely register with them and see if you can get some of the things you need on there.

Love

Thanks all for your replies, we are emigrating to Queensland unsure exactly where yet. Great to know you have Freecycle I use it in the U.K. to get rid of stuff
