How to get rid of an obscenely large no. of bags for charity?

Luckygirl there is a Waring and Gillow dinner service for sale on Ebay for £390.

Of course, it is only worth what someone wants to pay for it. ?

One of my neighbours works for a homeless charity, and is happy to take donations. Our village foodbank takes clothes now also, and I’m sure the Social Work Dept would be able to point you in the right direction.

This thread just shows that local charity shops have different needs and rules! A friend works in one near me and told me never to worry about whether clothes are saleable as they make a lot of money from selling on any surplus textiles. And they do a great trade in books as well.

There’s no excuse for giving them soiled goods of any sort though.

Luckygirl, I was given the job of finding 120 sets of vintage china (side plates, cups and saucers) for my DD2’s barn wedding reception 10 years ago today. It took me ages, trawling car boot sales and charity shops. They came in for a couple of other celebrations too. I eventually got rid of them last year. My friend’s charity shop took the lot and I was really surprised that they were all snapped up within a week!

I was told by a volunteer that Russian people have bought a lot of vintage china from local charity shops here.

Apparently it is very collectable in Australia too.

Callistemon - thank you for that info.

And, as Maggiemaybe said, very popular for weddings here too, but mismatched, so I've heard.

Unfortunately there are no weddings at the moment.

Apologies if my post wasn't clear Re clothing. The company we use ( for rag) accept shoes and bags.
Most of our rag is re-sorted and sold on to African countries and Eastern Europe.
I think my sex toys together with the fluffy handcuffs, and gimp mask trumps Marydolls long johns ?
We knew we had a buyer for the handcuffs and mask ?
