With more than 30 dealer spaces don't be deceived by the shop front entry. Continue down to the back of the building where you'll find an extensive showcase of products including antiques, collectables, homewares, kitchenware, clothing, garagenalia, furniture, jewellery, books and much more.
The seller can choose an allocated floor or cabinet space, sell larger "one off" items on commission, or have Mr Perry, who is a licensed second-hand dealer buy your products.
An avid collector himself, Mr Perry saw an opportunity to take his passion of 13 years a step further and decided to open the business which is situated on the Western Highway.
Mrs Perry said the Stawell community played a large role in their decision to open the business.
"We love Stawell. We have lived and raised our children here for the last 14 years and want to continue living here," she said.
"Our customers shared the vision we had for the business and have shown great belief and faith in us as we sought to achieve it."
The couple have been operating local businesses for the past decade and decided it was time for a new adventure.
"We have been open for four months now and can confidently say that we have had thousands of people through the doors, it's so wonderful hearing people as they enter the rear of the shop and they're amazed at how much stock there is," Mrs Perry said.
The Pickers Market is open seven days a week (except Christmas Day and Good Friday) from 10am to 5pm.
You'll find the store conveniently located across the road from McDonalds on the Western Highway in Stawell.
