I've never bought anything myself (actually, I've only looked at the site
once and I couldn't be arsed to plough through it!), but I know a few people
who buy and sell. They think it's grand. But, like I said, at least half of
those people wouldn't go into a charity shop 'in real life'. They'd be too
embaraased.

I'd be interested to see if charity's report falling revenues since the rise
in popularity of eBay.
