Now I'm not trying to plug this place but I've looked at many souvenir shops around Auckland and the guy who runs this out-of-the-way place offers the best prices. You see just like tourists, most New Zealanders also have to visit tourist shops in order to buy sheep/animal skins, sheep skin slippers, fish oils, deer velvet etc because we don't have regular outlets for these items. The on shelf prices here are slightly cheaper than what you would pay at the "hustle shops" in the central city but without asking for it the owner will almost always offer you a discount. The Chinese owner is friendly but can only speak average English which combined with the piles of animal skins, haphazard arrangement and shelves of various NZ medicines and supplements remind me a bit of Mr Wing's antique store in the movie Gremlins...(don't get water on those sheep skins :)
