I didn't know rather you were messing about the smell, there's loads of people I'd to bring their donations in for them because they're "afraid" of the shops.

I tell you a TLDR story:
[Retr0 knows who this is], someone years ago, had all these stupid ideas about second hand shops, so I brought him into a shop with me and made a show of it me, claiming he'd gotten head lice from the shop, not from anyone in there, from the clothes.
He itched for hours and told everyone about it. It wasn't so bad he needed to buy the shampoo because he was that tight he wouldn't take it that far and wouldn't let anyone look at his head either.
He'd gotten a cold shortly after this and claimed it was the consumption from said second hand shop. He was fine to go in when he needed a new coat cheap but otherwise he's stand outside and shudder, whine and itch. His whole family believed him like.
This, is true.

Not really; I doubt anyone really plays it anymore...

Oh look, I have bought plenty of stuff in Charity shops, nothing wrong with the stock at all.

I have picked up some vintage stuff there too, shirts and the like... you just don't get epaulettes on enough stuff anymore! Where else am I going to put my beret?

Probably because myself and my mate in college fleeced them all about 5 years ago

I really wish we'd gotten some photos of that massive, Eldorado type mound of consoles and games we found upstairs in that charity shop around Capel Street. That was stuff made of dreams. Was such a shame I was a broke student at the time

Was hilarious though, all of the consoles were tangled up in this dense bush of cables. You'd be trying to get some power cables freed to test something and unearth another mound of consoles. I think there was about 10-15 n64s alone.

To make it even funnier, the shop owner had sent a couple of these Nigerian oul ones who worked there to price everything we pulled out before selling it to us.

I still live for the day I walk into a shop the same afternoon someone's own personal Sauron has finally carried out their threat and dropped off the entire collection.

Reminds me of that scene in High Fidelity, where this lady is trying to sell him a load of rare records for sweet fanny adams, to get back at her husband.
My conscience wouldnt stop me though.
