Decent? Not sure about that. There's a whole bunch on 310 west of Monivong.

One on the corner of Kampuchea Krom and Monivong, and the Bangkok Shop on E4 of Sorya Centrepoint... but more like $2 shops than 2500 riel. And then there's Daiso at Aeon Mall ofc.

There was a quite good one on Sihanouk just near the corner of Sothearos I went to once.

But you may as well spend an afternoon at Phsar Orussey

Yep, I definitely recommend Sakura (second hand shop) over them. I know there's at least one in PP, but you'll have to Google, I use the one in Kampong Cham.

Sakura 2nd hand stores and 2500 riel stores are completely different, you can’t compare them.

OP, what sort of bits n bobs are you looking for?

Local markets are your best bet mate, the crap you find in those 2500 riel shops won’t last you 5 minutes.
