I feel better than James Brown
Blabbing, talking about generousity, it is akin to ripping somebody of.
Super, great, trust you sleep well tonight.
So now you have made it more understandable, but does not excuse bunging them a few extra smackers, just saying.Be careful. We wouldn't want you falling off that high horse and hurting yourself.
I don't know why you've decided to take a pop at me, but I'll be damned if some anonymous, "holier than thou-er" on a hifi forum is going to make me feel guilty for something I didn't think of doing 30-odd years ago, particularly as in the intervening time I have given a lot to charities in terms of donations, buying other
stuff in their shops and donating stuff to sell.
So, yes, I will sleep OK tonight. Thanks for your concern.
I don't see any of the experts on the Antique Roadshow,moralising about what people pay for stuff, they usually get a slap on the backend a round of applause

Really, you are so straight you must be upright.wrong again
Don't know the record but Discogs not setting a high price so 50p in a charity shop probs the right price.....
Same here. 2 or 3 CDs for a pound. Mostly 90s dross like Coldplay but the odd gem. A Dylan or two. A Jim White album that I played tonight in the car. If they overprice anything, it's not a biggie. They can keep it. I give them paperbacks, stray CD s, records, if they get something for it then great. If that gives someone a bargain, great. If they get a tenner for a scratched LP, equally great.It's all about the CDs in charity shops round here - tons of Embrace/Elbow/All Saints but normally one or two interesting bits as well and often 50p or something.
That said a couple of shops have put up signs requesting no donations of books(!)/DVDs/CDs - I guess everyone streams or uses a Kindle so they have trouble shifting them.
I've not been in a charity shop looking for vinyl for donkey's, I just assumed they all have someone sorting the good stuff and pricing it accordingly, like our own @Big Tabs or they just put it online and it fetches what it fetches.
Their records aren`t overpriced but the range seems a bit hit and miss and I`ve never found a CD I wanted at any price.
Can I just enquire, does the front sitting room not smell permanently of damp cardboard? Also, you don’t know who’s been touching these records.Update: the Sting LP in the Sally Ann shop is a 'limited edition on clear vinyl', so may not be over-priced (though anything over 10p is more than I'd pay for a Sting LP).
