Stanleybobs Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Not exactly sure of the name but it's something like The a Conservation Volunteers and is on Eccleshall are. Has a good range, great selection of books and bric a brac upstairs and I like the plants it sells too. Staff always relaxed and friendly. I agree. It was cheaper when it was called the Green Bag or something similar, but it's still reasonable price-wise, and the quality is generally good. Also there's a pound rail which usually has something interesting on it. I bought an old school desk from there for £2.25, and I absolutely love it. I also like Cancer Research on Ecclesall Rd (esp the pound rail). St Luke's on Ecc Rd is great also, especially for picture frames, wool, cushions etc. I've always found Oxfam very overpriced so I tend to skip that one nowadays.

Des1gner Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Another vote for The Conservation Volunteers. I donate most of my old stuff there and have found loads of bargains on my visits. Only recently found out who the charity actually are after I was given their leaflet and they seem to do some good work tcv.org.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidonica Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I don't have a favourite. I pop in any I happen to pass and head straight for the bookshelves. I've bought an awful lot of books from them. But most charity shops now seem to sell a lot of new stuff and are quite expensive. A far cry from what a charity shop used to be. One place that has a terrific selection is the volunteer bookshop in the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. I've had a lot of appointments there lately and usually come away with yet another book. Agree with the comment on selling new stuff. Why do charity shops sell new stuff? Are they using the money we spend on donated stuff to buy these things that I don't want to buy and if I did could get cheaper elsewhere? I will buy from any charity shop if I find something I want (usually vintage) at the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon26 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've got an old computer flat screen monitor, it's about 19-20 inch. Does anyone know which charity shop take them or I should I just put it in the bin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know which charity shop take them or I should I just put it in the bin? Why not advertise it on the free section on this site? Or freecycle it?

Mattenmurg Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It was only closed for refurbishment, it's back open now with a new laminate floor. Oh thank you! I looked on the website after finding it closed and boxes of books about and it listed it as closed permanently. Great news. Will visit soon.
