I did see a book that had been on my "to read"
list for a while in one charity shop. I
looked for prices and saw that it was
4
books for £1.99
Didn't see any other books that I fancied, so I asked the
woman behind the counter how much it would be for just one book. Her reply amazed me. She told me that it was £1.99 whether you
bought one book or four!!!! Is it
me?????
I had been prepared to offer £1, but I walked away empty
handed. Hope your day was more
successful.
Love,
Liz

What a strange attitude from the shop - you think they would be glad of a sale.
Our charity shops in the SE of England tend to be over priced now which makes you think twice about buying - in some you would pay £1.99 for one book now anyway.

I'd have walked away too...ridiculous price! I recently went to a jumble sale where they had an excellent selection of books at 20p for paperbacks and 50p for hardbacks. As you can imagine I bought a few.
Was it Cross Stitch that you left behind?...borrow it from the library, it is such a good series....
No, it's not just you - that's bonkers! I think some charity shops have forgotten, or misunderstood, what they are all about. xxx
Was that Barnardos? x
Yup!

The photo is of my own bookshelf (well, one of them). I love the Diana Gabaldon - Cross Stitch series!

I would think that they would be more accommodating and sell regardless of how many.
We have 4 books for a pound at our shop. That works out at one book for 25p. Simple division!

Strange but true, go with no money and there is always something there that you realy want.....
I think a lot of charity shops are putting up their prices generally in view of all the interest of anything vintage or retro looking. Even books are slowly creeping up. It's a shame but guess its a sign of the times.

What a daft attitude! You'd think they'd be glad to make a sale!
That's just rediculous, what a shame. Unless I see a book that I really want to keep, I won't buy them now, I just get them from the library. I'm saving lots of money and space on my bookshelf.
I guess they didn't want the sale very badly! Diana Gabaldon is my favorite author...
Pleased to have found someone else who loves that Diana Gabaldon series as much as me! x
Oh sorry to hear that! I have had fab luck at charity shops recently. Hope our next trip is more fruitful.....
