Save yourself a fist full of dollars by shopping at this factory outlet, as it has various…read moreelectrical items which just might be what you're after and fit the budget. And all items from the factory outlet carry a full warranty. The majority of the items here are either scratch and dent, demos or simply the previous model, not that there's anything wrong with that, check where the marks are on the item and if they're not going to be visible, then why not. With these particular items it just means the store cannot sell items which are not in peak cosmetic condition. As an example which is two years old but none the less, I done some research on which TV was going to be the best for us, good quality and had the features we wanted...so we settled on a Toshiba Regza 46". I can't remember the exact amounts paid but I can tell you the difference between buying it new from a department store and new from HV outlet was $1000, as it was the model just finished and HV was making room for the next in coming model that's the reason it was at their factory outlet. That's it...we saved $1000, got full warranty, wasn't a scratch n dent and it's still going strong, best investment. It also had alot to do with being in the right place at the right time, all the stars aligned and all that jazz. Hint: Do you research online, read blogs, get specs, etc and then look for where it is for viewing, how much it costs, take into account a small portion of what the sales people tell you as they get brownie points for sales, then add it all up in the end, because it's your money and your decision not theirs. Smart shoppers save. Note: 4 star rating for this HVFO store only!

The Harvey Norman clearance outlet is a little shop on south road, where not so perfect electronic…read moregoods go to be sold. It's kind of like an animal shelter for whitegoods. You go in there and tell the guys what you need and they show you items that might be a bit less than perfect. The great thing is that quite often, there's the tiniest of dents or scratches which is stopping them from being sold in the normal shops. The way to shop here is to go to the regular HN stores, find something you want, look at where it is going in your house and know which surfaces are not important. For example, our fridge will be against a wall on its left side, so I could have bought one with a huge scratch on that side. I ended up getting a brand new Fisher and Paykel fridge and washing machine with a hefty discount. Also, they offer an extended warranty and delivery. The fridge has a tiny dent on the front which you can barely see and the washing machine has a scratch on the side, but as it's being built in, it won't be seen. They also have TV's, coffee machines, washing machines, cooktops and ovens, heaters, air conditioners and more. Definitely worth checking out. Also, all the items are tested to check that they still work fine.

Not overpriced, super sized and wogtastic. From plaster archways to gold lamps, iron outdoor gates through to claw foot bath tubs you can find some McMansion suitable furnishings here for more than you'd buy them in a De Lights or Bunnings. And then of course this gigantic "salvage yard" houses their most prized possessions - the 8 life size Elvis', robotic dinosaur collections and Blues Brothers car hanging from the roof. Hang on...what? I honestly don't know how many financial transactions this place actually achieves but I would suspect the foot traffic of gawkers would outweigh sales 20 to 1. Unless of course you too have a spare $600-2000 to spend adding that finishing touch of a moving T-Rex into your lounge room with its 10m high ceiling, archway and marble floors. But who doesn't I guess?

As we leisurely stroll through this store, with eyes wide open, I cannot help thinking we need a bigger house for us to purchase more furniture. We have shopped in this store for over five years, always found the prices competitive, with staff very knowledgable and helpful. We visit and enjoy a coffee in their Cafe regularly, to return and view the increasing range of modern and traditional style furniture, always with the latest colour and up to date accessories, outdoor furniture and bathroom ware, all with very affordable pricing, just amazing.

You know those scraggly old shopping trolley cat ladies, who collect other people's random junk off…read morethe street? I think I have been reincarnated from one of them. To me old stuff is by far superior than new stuff. The more de-stressed and ugly retro a chair looks, the happier I get. If I can get a near new filing cabinet for half the price in olive green, then I know I'm having a good day. And so it goes that every time I enter Hindmarsh Disposals I enter my happy place. Near new and near eras I wasn't even born in are all represented here. There is a particularly large amount of crockery and glassware from the 70s and 80s for $1-4, chairs, side tables, bed headboards and cupboards from the 60s and 70s are well represented and so are filing cabinets. My hipster dream is to make a table out of an old door and for $60-90 you'd walk away with a glass pane, wooden door that needs little restoration. Actually, hardly anything here needs much restoration - this isn't a junk yard after all. Be prepared to rummage as everyone says, but also know that this isn't a Freedom showroom for a reason. You're not paying to have a manikin show how to touch a lamp here and that's why it's cheap. And like the guy on the TV tells you to do, just haggle. You are bound to find a vintage Holden sign or old record through to a brightly coloured collection of aluminum tea and flour canisters for nix or for half the price of even IKEA furniture you can get something that was built in the day when things were made to last more than 6 months and didn't require an Allen key to assemble.

I love junk. Useful and useless junk. Hindmarsh Disposals has got a bit of both - although more…read moreuseful stuff than most second hand stores. The prices are reasonable - when I first moved to Adelaide with my parents we bought lots of secondhand stuff here. Things you can pick up here: - lamps - furniture (dingy or nice, depending on your tastes and wallet) - second hand books - cooking utensils - stereos - tvs - clothes - vases - antiques - rugs - suitcases - fridges - record players - sewing machines - sports equipment - slide projectors - light fittings If you're a vintage furniture hunter, they have some bargains here, but you'll have to be quick because there is a high turnover. I once found a very old fashioned book about how a lady should go about bagging a man, for fifty cents. Antique sexist propaganda!

I am no white goods and furniture expert, but given that they also stock second-hand goods here, you are likely to come across a bargain if you keep your wits about you. They do quotes over the phone and delivery seven days a week, with considerably less rigamarole than you'll get when dealing with a bigger chain store.

A year or so ago, I set up a small gallery in the city with some friends. Over time, we've done renovations, and we've visited this store a few times. It's intended for trade professionals but is also open to the public. The staff are happy to help out with (dumb) questions. For example one of the renovations we did, was ripping up the carpet in the gallery space, sanding back the concrete glue with a professional concrete polisher and then sealing the concrete. The staff at Taubmans helped me find an appropriate concrete sealant, and it was pretty cheap too. You can also pick up standard painting tools - rollers, masking tape etc. Taubmans really only does paint and sealants - interior and exterior stuff. If you're doing any home renos on the cheap, it might be good to stop in here. They have a small range of discounted stuff near the front window.
