I regularly visit Charity shops for any hidden gems and have found that much of the stock tends to be high street chain seconds/out of season as apposed to actually having the majority of the clothing genuine second hand stuff brought in by the public. In fact Charity shops have become very fussy indeed about the stuff they accept now! I expect Charity shops like Oxfam have dedicated teams who check out items received to see if they have any high value items, the sort of stuff the old dear serving in the shop wouldnt realise is valuble. Its a shame that, cos I was kinda hoping I'd find something like an original Picasso with a 50 pence sticker on it LOL
