I used to help out in this shop when Christine used to run it.They have changed Managers since then it has gone downhill in my estimation. Maybe some music would help but it feels unfriendly now.
Like a lot of Charity shops they are now asking prices way beyond the original cost of the items.
Me going on about DVD prices again. I am happy to pay £2 for a dvd that i fancy watching.
I invariably give it back to the charity shop afterwards. The policy in this shop is £2 a dvd. Fantastic! But if the DVD happens to have one of those extras discs with it, which nobody wants nor watches, then they charge £4 for the 2 discs..ha ha. This is more than the cost new. In the real world most places having realised that the DVD market is fast disappearing are happy to get £1each. Cash Convertors will give 25p each for DVDS and they sell them for £1. They have 1000's of them. The extras disc should not be considered a separate DVD, it is used mainly as a beer mat when you are watching the actual film. Again it is just a lack of knowledge on the part of the Manager but they don't like to be questioned so again no flexibility in their dealings. You either pay the asking price or you don't have it. It's not the way to do business in my opinion. read more
