Thankyou Faye for all the useful info! 🤗 I volunteer at a well known charity shop and we have drop off donations all day everyday7 days a week bc there is available parking outside, it’s quite insane lately ( either peeps are down sizing or sadly passing away ) we can’t process it fast enough, we have mountains of stuff! Luckily we have the room to store it until it gets picked up for rotation to other shops around the southwest😅 Our manager looks up everything on eBay for pricing, then non clothing items that don’t sell get reduced by 50% or less after 3 weeks. We are situated in less affluent area so our prices usually match our customers pocket although other independent local charities are cheaper. Anyways, what I meant to say was I’m glad you got some bargains bc those higher ticket items will just sit there, and you’re doing a good deed from keeping stuff out of the landfills ! 👏🏼🙏🏼💖🕊
My biggest sadness with charity shops is when you see beautiful pieces, priced too high, you know they won’t sell, and when the cycle is over they just get chucked OR sold for pennies by the kilo to the rag man (or bric a brac equivalent) 😢
If charity shops didn’t look for EBay prices maybe items would move faster and their sell through rate would improve.This would enable them to have fresh stock to keep regular customers interested.
My mum volunteers in charity shop, she is always saying how often people take the tickets off stuff and say it’s out but not priced or swap tickets round from cheaper items. Her charity shop isn’t crazy priced either!
Agree totally on the pricing of new clothes which are donated by retail outlets, (they couldnt sell them at full price or unsold sale stock.) so they need to be tagged at priced to clear bargains. Most charity shops get rates relief.
They need to keep the stock rotating so new stuff can take centre stage. Lots of people who do buy from charity shops are not dealers, some don’t mind spending a load of money on posh items. Rebecca
Leighton House is an amazing Moorish style Victorian mansion in Kensington, London. It used to be the home and studio of the artist Lord Leighton. My friend hired it for her wedding reception in the 1990s! Back in the day it was open to the public and they had art exhibitions there. But I’m not sure if it’s open to the public anymore. Edit, yes it is, just checked on t’internet
Some great purchases there at a bargain price. If they offer you a discount in any shop I would accept of course but I wouldn't go asking for a discount myself
In a charity shop we witnessed someone individually pricing hundreds of ‘Now’ CDs for £1.99 each. They were gift aid too, I watched them for about 5 minutes, they’d barely scratched the surface so asked how much for all of them. They replied that they were £1.99 each so… I made them an offer which was significantly less than what they were pricing them for. They accepted and looked thankful they could get on with something else. I wouldn’t say we haggle often, but sometimes the circumstances feel right.
I can’t understand why staff in charity shops and others get so hot under the collar about resellers. What they buy is probably a drop in the ocean compared to what goes to the Ragman, clearance guys or landfill.
My biggest sadness with charity shops is when you see beautiful pieces, priced ridiculously, you know they won’t sell, and when the cycle is over they just get chucked. Hardly what the donator would have wanted 😢
Nothing wrong with free sourcing, most people just want rid so you’re doing them a favour…what was Simon’s reaction to the window or does that need a whole new video 😂

Thank you, that’s very interesting! 🙏👍🙏👍
Another great video, really enjoying your channel. Do you buy specific packaging to send your art. Thanks 😊
Thank you for saying so 🙏 we just use whatever we have laying around

Charities aren't quite are nice as they are made out to be. Most of the money doesn't make its way to were we think it does. Its another racket.
Such a shame

Haha, well he’s had to move it around the barn about 8 times already so not best pleased would be my guess 🤣🤣
