Prices have rocketed on my local site. Someone has a brown paper bag for sale for £5. I think instead of just giving stuff to the charity shop, folk are now selling and trying their luck with the prices.

little paper bag

Well if this is the kind of stuff that is selling or a fiver i have a load of tescos brown paper bags , the type that they used to deliver fruit and veg in before they stopped the use of all bags .
Surely they are collectors items now as they have stopped making them .
Who will start the bidding at £3 per bag or £6 for the ones with the rarer tips on them.

I've seen loads of pound land type bits for a fiver.
A wilko 3 quid paddling pool for a tenner. Because everywhere is sold out.

Primark. Clothes as a bundle which would be cheaper to buy new.

I have put loads on free and been doorstep collected.
I also have 3 bags in dhs car for when the charity shop opens.

I have literally only listed to sell and sold in moments a sought after garden toy for a tenner which is about 30 new but we had 2 and didn't need both

The bundles of baby stuff I gave away you wouldn't belive but I cba with marketplace even when the money comes in handy.

Same, I'd rather give it than faff with the money. Saw some massive donations outside the charity shops in town today. Are people that stupid, they think someone is going to go in during lockdown to sort it.
