When your high street is like mine with more charity shops than commercial big boys its not too bad a reality until the charity shops price a well worn shirt for £6.00 when you can get two from primarni for £7.00.

This is a normal post I'm a big fan of charity shops
but I do wish they'd stop pricing things according to what similar items are listed as on ebay and go back to pricing them according to what some little old dear thinks they might be worth.

The PDSA wanted £6 for a Klaus Wunderlich album the other day, which is madness!

This is a normal post Went to an Oxfam Originals once, found it very confusing.
Most of the stuff was really old and cost more than similar in most shops brand new.

Really catering towards hipsters by the look of it.

This is a normal post Oxfam is particularly expensive.

This is a normal post I haven't found the normal Oxfam to be particularly so.
Sometimes they have a few things in i like and sometimes they don't, matter of luck really.

Oxfam Originals on the other hand is ridiculous in what they charge for supposed 'classic' clothes.

This is a normal post I'd still rather buy the charity stuff
than have new things made unnecessarily in appalling working conditions.*

Still. I think they have become aware of what people will pay on, for instance, ebay. A lot of ebay stuff comes from charity shops. People go round looking for bargains to sell on. So I don't blame them for doing it.

*also the last time I went shopping for new clothes, it was all crap. Cheap and really poor quality.
