Profitable Charity-Shop Drift

[tamaranth]

Wander into charity shop (Cats Protection League, of course).
Find fabulous brocade jacket for £2.
Spend 20 mins scanning bookshelves for something to make this worthwhile.
Locate book, selling for 40p, which is on Amazon Marketplace for a minimum of £12.
Buy jacket and book okay, and another book. think of the kittenz!
List book on Amazon for £8.
Admire jacket, which has a net price in my head of -£5.60.

I am impressed by your charity and look forward to seeing the jacket.

it shows signs of considerable wear but was too gorgeous to pass up, plus lady in shop buttered me up with 'oooh, it really suits you'.
