Plymouth's Treasure Trove: Too Good To Auction

Ever heard of a place where old becomes new again, and junk turns into gold? Welcome to Too Good To Auction, Plymouth's quirkiest charity shop, where the weird and wonderful collide in a symphony of thrift store magic.

Picture this: a place where you can find a vintage guitar next to a vintage guitar-shaped guitar. Or a mannequin wearing a mannequin outfit. Yes, you read that right. It's like stepping into a real-life game of 'Spot the Difference', but with actual, tangible stuff.

How It All Began

This treasure trove wasn't always a beacon of kitschy delight. It started life as a humble charity shop, but with a twist. Instead of selling everything off, they decided to auction off the most unique and interesting items. And thus, Too Good To Auction was born.

Now, every month, they host an auction that's part car boot sale, part art exhibition, and part circus. It's a spectacle that's as much about the experience as it is about the bargains.

Quirky Finds Galore

So, what can you expect to find? Well, let's just say, if you've ever wanted a life-sized cutout of Elvis, a taxidermy squirrel playing the violin, or a collection of vintage vibrators (yes, really), this is the place for you.

But it's not all novelty items and oddities. They've got genuine vintage gems too. Think retro cameras, antique jewellery, and even the occasional piece of art that's worth more than your car.

Meet the Makers

But the real stars of the show are the volunteers. They're a motley crew of artists, musicians, and all-around characters who bring the place to life. They're the ones who spot the hidden gems, create the eye-popping displays, and make you feel right at home.

And let's not forget the auctioneer. With his quick wit and even quicker tongue, he's part auctioneer, part stand-up comedian. He's the ringmaster of this circus, and he's not afraid to use a bit of audience participation to get the bids rolling in.

Why It's More Than Just a Shop

But Too Good To Auction is more than just a place to find weird and wonderful stuff. It's a community. It's a place where people come together to laugh, to learn, and to support a good cause. It's a place where the old, the new, the strange, and the beautiful all come together in one big, beautiful mess.

So, if you're looking for a unique shopping experience, a laugh, or just a good story to tell, pop by Too Good To Auction. You never know what you might find. But one thing's for sure, you'll never forget it.

And who knows, you might just find that vintage vibrator collection you never knew you needed.
