Oxfam Online 70% Off Sale

[wolf63]

I previously asked the Ed or Spare Ed or Head Ed if it would be okay to advertise this sale and was told that they had no objection.

Oxfam is currently having a 70% sale for items that have been online for a couple of months. I have purchased things from the sale in the past and have been very happy with the speed of delivery and the quality of the items.

Other charities also sell online, but I only know about Oxfam because I volunteer in one of their shops. Many ABers have helped me to value books and postcards and I am very grateful for all their help.

Oxfam, like all charities, are given items in good faith and for free. Some of the original prices on this website are ridiculous and dare I say pure greedy?

We value the items and ask for what the item is worth. People are very generous when donating goods and it is only fair that we get a reasonable amount of money for them.

We usually ask for a lower amount for an item than it is being sold anywhere else. (I am not sure if that sentence makes sense).
The fiction books sold in the shops are more expensive than I would pay for a used book but we sell non-fiction books that may be difficult to find elsewhere.

Wolf, I was looking at ladies’ clothes, the prices before they had been reduced.

excellent. I have ordered a Stillman, a Fellini, a Smith, a Truffaut, an Allen and a Gordard, none of which I've seen for years.

One small bugbear: when you click on an item to look at it, it doesn't take you to a new window. Then when you click the back arrow, it takes you to the top of the page and you have to start scrolling from scratch. I have wasted valuable seconds.

Our shop only sells books and music (and postcards) so I don't know how they work out a price. Some of the 'designer' clothing is truly hideous.

This is the new and improved site, it is a total nightmare. Hitting backspace seems to zoom you back to the beginning. The sizes of the women's clothing is frightening. I saw a 17" bust given for a top.

at those prices its worth a look!

They haven’t measured properly, they just measured across the front of the bust, they have to double it so it goes the whole way around!
