An Aussie mum has vented her frustrations over insanely high prices for second-hand items at an op shop.
Mother-of-six Nicole Preece had no problem calling out the exorbitant prices recently spotted at her local Salvation Army store in Melbourne.
Ms Preece claimed that not only almost all items for sale were unaffordable, but that a number of them were also filthy, including a $12 'heavily stained' pair of trainers that 'stunk like the family cat had just urinated in them'.
Other 'bargains' included $280 rugs filled with 'dog or cat hair', a $28 jeans with a 'crusty crotch', while a pre-loved karaoke machine would have set her back $299.
It didn't come with a microphone but did come with a set of drum sticks- until Ms Preece realised they sold separately for $15.
The passionate op shopper called out Salvation Army over the hefty prices while claiming to 'be there for the less fortunate ones that need them the most'.
