Charity Shops

[Pepe n Pilar]

Hi Pilar ,
There's nothing wrong in buying stuffs in the said shops. If that is what people can afford, so be it.

I agree, but there are some people who buys stuffs from carboot sales but doesn't want items from charity shops. Is there a difference?. I knew someone who bought a used jacket from carboot amounting to £0.25, but snubs charity shops. I guess the lowest amount of item at the charity shops is at least £0.89.
I've learned that stuffs sold in charity shops are mixed (brand new and used) i just don't know with carbooties. I have to go to a carboot oneday soon..

Yes, some snubs charity shops because when they go carboot sometimes they can buy stuffs next to nothing. I have friends down South, they love carbooting. As what they say I bought my brand new Levi's 501 jeans for only a £ and so on and so fort. So, therefore charity shops is no difference than charity shop. Ahh, the one plus factor of carboot they're cheaper than charity shops.

Yes, that's often the case, But I once knew someone who managed a charity shop, and she assured me that, in order to comply with The Sale Of Goods Act, it was standard practice for all donated articles to be checked over on receipt to ensure these were deemed "Fit For The Purpose" of being put on display and/or sold. This was particularly true when it came to sifting through merchandise to eliminate electrical appliances which, by law, they were not permitted to sell.

Not so, with car boot sales, I understand!
