MMD: Would you tell a charity shop that a Chloe bag was under-priced?

I would snap it up and ebay it!!
I would give some of the proceeds to the charity tho .

I would buy it as I would have thought that's all they wanted for it! Depending on the charity, I would prob feel guilty afterwards though and give them some stuff I was getting rid of ...... :rotfl:

Snap it up, sell it on, then split the profits with the charity.

Thats exactly what I would do

I'd take the bag for £5 but then put a donation in their collection tin to ease my conscience.
Maybe £20 or something depending on how guilty I was feeling, how generous I could afford to be and how many brownie points I think I would score with my mum or sister.

This is a no-brainer to me tbh - I would buy the bag at the cheap price. What's wrong with getting a bargain?! Surely that's at least part of the reason people go to these types of shops - in the hope of spotting a bargain?

I contribute to charity with both time and money, so I wouldn't feel guilty about getting a nice bag one time!

It's a difficult one, I have both managed and volunteered at a children's charity shop. People often think that charity shops get huge breaks on rent / council tax / rubbish collection but they don't. You wouldn't believe the huge amount of rubbish that's "donated". I once followed a man back out to his car with a 3 wheel pushchair - no, it was meant to have 4 wheels... and he shrugged and said " i couldn't be bothered going to the dump!" The charity carries this cost. I know the goods are given for free but you have to sell a huge volume of goods to break even with costs these days; hence sometimes being able to buy new from adsa cheeper! Shops are also there to raise local awareness about the charity and also to build community interest. I would have to say that it's not unusual for people to buy, ebay than donate cash (when they question themselves!)... and yes this is a reasonable compromise, which is always gratefully received.

I do voluntary work in a charity shop and customers often tell you these things. We already know that they are fakes because we check the stitching. No I would not tell them and I would only buy it if I wanted it.
On the other hand, if I checked it and it was genuine, I might it buy, sell it on e-bay and donate the money to a different charity.:A

Can't commnet on buying handbags being a bloke but I have bought records from charity shops that were far more valuable than they realised. Don't think I'd be so lucky nowadays, the bigger charities (oxfam, help the aged etc) have got wise to the value of things coming in their doors and I'm fairly sure they have ways of chekcing values, especially with things like ebay on hand.

Someone gave this bag away for free so it is no loss at all to the charity shop.
I would snap it up. The charity shop are earning what they wanted to from this bag.
