Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A searchable directory for finding nearby op shops, charity shops, secondhand stores, and vintage finds.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-09 issue.

Field notes

The directory combines place search with a freshness layer: visitors can inspect recently photographed finds, see listing recency, and browse city or neighbourhood guides before setting out. Its coverage is stated as 1,323 New Zealand shops and 4,207 Australian shops, with 375 entries updated in the last two weeks. A separate new-launch section identifies six recently opened stores, sometimes giving exact opening dates, and the site provides a route for reporting additional listings.
