Charity shop buying

itgirlinuk

 Can I ask everyone clothing related what you would NOT buy from a charity shop and what you wouldn't? Me and my friend are arguing about the kind of things people wouldn't buy used or new from a charity shop. I thought why not ask you all to put the argument to bed. Thanks

I wouldnt buy anything from a charity shop at present as you are increasing your exposure risk within the shop and from the items you purchase and take home.

Thank you. I didn't know where to post this. So I shall.
And @arsenalboy - I totally agree. It was more a hypothetical question of - if you did what would you not buy? Thank you though.

Don't think the risk due to covid is any worse really than buying from any other store.

I agree, don’t think it’s any worse than any other store. Can’t wait for them to reopen
