Charity shops

so you think Charity shops are beneath you ?

Ingvar Kamprad was the billionaire who founded Ikea. Worth 23 billion dollars. He was famously a miser and an unashamed alcoholic. Lived to 91. Formerly a Nazi sympathiser, he had a Road to Damascus moment. He drove a battered old Volvo and wore clothing from charity shops.

the fecker was loaded, so i guess he knew a few things more than the rest of us.

In Australia they are called Opportunity shops which is much more appropriate. There is real value in them. And who cares if something has been used before - there are exceptions I know!

Or he was a cheapskate.
 
About 3 years ago my son bought a framed picture from a charity shop for 15 quid because he liked the picture.
When he was walking home with it, a woman said to him 'oh, that's a Beryl Cooke'
After some googling, a month later he sold it for a couple of grand.
Jammy git !
