    how pretentious can you get?? Do you practise this or does it come naturally....

    What puts you in a position to judge others? The OP already paid their money to charity for the red nose, why then should they donate more? The buyer could easily have paid their money to charity and got the red nose that way but chose to pay over the odds for something that someone was selling.

    People are starving yes, the OP did their little bit by buying a red nose - what gives you the right to say that they should donate their profits to anyone else, charity or not?

    Well done the the OP, a profit is a profit and if someone is stupid enough to pay that amount of money then thats down to them. Personally I wouldn't, but each to their own.

    In answer to the original question, i sold a creative mp3 player (brand new) for £120 that i got for £40!!

    i just think making profit out of a charity is a pretty sick thing to do. maybe i'm old fashioned

    the profit wasnt made from charity, the profit was made from a private individual that paid over the odds for an item that WAS obtainable cheaper than they got it for and that is no longer available.

    In 20 years time if someone was to sell a red nose and make £200 from it would you still expect the money to go to charity? How about 50 years time?
