Wow!
But if they put a "proper" price on it, how long would it have hung around before the appropriate buyer came along?

They do have an eBay shop, which was something I was involved in. Then their 'Director of HR' didn't understand what constituted an employment contract so I took them to an ET and got enough compensation to make it worthwhile. Last time I tried to point out they'd drastically underpriced something I didn't want I was told to mind my own business.

No excuse then.
Basic stuff. Sounds like jobs for the boys.

Here they clearly have no one who even knew what it was let alone how to price it, and because of history I'll no longer tell them.
A charity shop relies on turnover and has finite space so have to balance between what an item is actually worth and what a customer of the shop will pay for it. The one I was involved in has been refitted as some kind of 'destination' shop with prices to match and very few customers as a result.

Their accounts make interesting reading...

I called into a menswear pre-loved shop yesterday, out of interest, having spotted it when passing that way. I guess the takings are not for charity and I anticipated a better quality of stock... not a chance!
