They are brand new, wood, good quality, 6 inches long and 1/2 an

I have 404 [yes, four hundred and four] of them.
You don't pay the real price.

I pay the price put on it by someone else. I cannot see what your point
is here. Are you going to moan about supermarket workers who get a
discount so don't pay the "real" price? Thought not. This is beginning
to sound like a bad case of sour grapes.


no, it's the idea that the volunteers get the best things for next to
nothing before anyone sees them. It really ticks me off.
There should be a law about charity shop workers creaming the best off for
themselves.

......not forgetting , of course, that the items could have been taking up
valuable shelf space for days which would make your assumption that no-one
else had seen them before the volunteer.

The only thing that seems to ticking is your jealousy.
