Customer Reviews
A really cool place to visit for vintage and modern quirky finds. Prices do range between items in terms of rarity but prices are usually on the lower side which makes it a great place to find something and for an affordable cost. The place ranged from homeware, games and technology, clothes, books and DVDs, instruments and music and just any other cool finds.
I have been a few times,went yesterday just for a quick view,I had to go somewhere. This "shop: is very close to Piccadilly station,bus station and metro, just at the end of Portland street. There are thousands of things. Dinky toys, silver and silver plated. Watches,books, magazines,comics, sports shirts, pictures, paitings,etc, etc etc. Not appropriate for disabled,I recommend a look,
I stumbled across this place as I was walking towards my car and ended up coming out with 4 books! I was initially enticed by a box of books for 30p each, but then wandered around inside and realised I could have bought half the store if I had the money (and space). Although the store is filled with things in every nook and cranny and it is a little overwhelming at first where to look, I loved shopping here. I went towards the end of the day so I was the last person to leave, and the shopkeepers were very kind and offered me to have one of my books for free - so I only paid £7 for 4 books! I will definitely keep coming back here whenever I visit Manchester.
