I didn't mention the word cheap, I called the shop a rip-off which is exactly what it is; overpriced. If something is more expensive second-hand than what you can get it for brand new it defeats the point of buying second-hand. I don't have the money to just give to charity, but some times I need things and so if I can get what I need at a reasonable price and know that the money I have paid is going to a good cause then thats a bonus. That's how a charity shop works. I also donate things to charity shops when I no longer need them. Sorry for not having more money than sense, but overpriced is overpriced.
