Найгірші цукерки для дітей: на що варто звернути увагу

  Цукерки — одна з найулюбленіших дитячих смаколиків, але далеко не всі солодощі однаково безпечні. Річ не лише у надмірній кількості цукру — у складі сучасних ласощів часто присутні складові, які можуть серйозно вплинути на здоров’я малечі, пише РБК-Україна. Чому солодке може бути шкідливим Надлишок цукру — викликає різкі перепади енергії: спочатку — гіперактивність, а […]

Японці створили вогнестійкі полімери зі світлом

Розробка японських вчених дозволяє модифікувати полімери під дією синього світла, надаючи їм вогнестійких та екологічних властивостей. Сучасна хімія полімерів все частіше звертається до методів постфункціоналізації — «вторинної» модифікації готових полімерних ланцюгів. Такий підхід дає змогу перетворювати дешеві й доступні полімери на функціональні матеріали з бажаними характеристиками. На думку професора Шінсуке Інагі, «наша стратегія є першим […]

I hit the jackpot with a £2 charity shop buy that is worth £115 – it’s why you should always check a certain section

THERE are more and more resellers raiding charity shops in a bid to find bits to sell on for a profit.

So it can often be a bit disheartening when you scour the shelves and end up coming away empty handed.

But that could be because you’re looking in the wrong places, one reseller has explained.

The shopper took to TikTok to share one of his recent finds – a £2 buy that ended up being worth a whopping £115.

The product in question? A Littlest Pet Shop version of Monopoly.

And Kev added that the purchase is proof that you should always check the board games on sale in your local charity shop.

“This Monopoly game is worth crazy money!” he wrote over the top of his video.

Adding in the caption: “Always worth checking out those board games!”

“You’re obviously never quite sure what you’re going to find when you walk into a charity shop, but this one definitely surprised me,” Kev began the video.

“Of course you’re always seeing the board game Monopoly in charity shops, but if it’s one that you haven’t seen before, sometimes it’s worth taking a closer look.

“I had never seen this Littlest Pet Shop before and there was good reason why, because it is a pretty rare game.”

Kev removed the sellotape on the box to have a look inside, to find that the four playable pet pieces were inside and in mint condition.

The rest of the game also appeared to be complete.

There was no price on the box, so Kev took it up to the till, where he was told that board games are sold for £2 each.

“And there we go, board game secured for £2, absolute bargain!” he said.

“After a few minutes of sorting everything out, I got the pieces together and it was fully complete and actually in really, really good condition.

“The character playable pieces were really good, the money, the cards, even had the discarded cards in there, this has not been played with much at all.”

Kev then had a look on eBay to see how much the game could potentially fetch – and was stunned to see one exactly the same as his that had sold for £115.

Top charity shop tips for bagging a bargain

Ross Dutton has been a manager for Crisis's charity shops for four years and currently runs the charity's Finsbury Park shop in London.

Choose your area – As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated.

Don’t hang around – If you see something you like, buy it, as it’ll likely be gone when you come back

Look out for cut-off labels – Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn’t sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes.

Stay at home – While some charities have their own site, like Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell from dedicated eBay stores, such as British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won’t get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you’re looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too.

“There is another one that sold for £73 and one of the figures on their own also sold for £52, pretty crazy!” he grinned.

“Looking at what’s actually currently listed at the moment, there is nothing, none of the full game whatsoever, just bits and pieces, so fingers crossed I should be getting that £115, maybe a bit more!”

People were quick to comment on the video, with many sharing their own similar finds.

“I once found a Ghettopoly set in mint condition for £2.99 … I resold it for £100,” one wrote.

“That was my one and only ever bargain!”

“I found a sealed snoopy limited edition one for £1.50 few years ago in charity shop, and Ghetto Monopoly,” another added.

“Wow!!!! I would have completely bypassed this, thanks for the tip Kev! Cracking find,” a third praised.

With someone else calling it “an awesome find”.

“The LAPD are moving in on horseback and firing rubber bullets at protesters,” Tomasi told viewers, as loud bangs echoed across Downtown LA.

Suddenly, a police officer swung his weapon towards her, and a cloud of smoke erupted near the correspondent. Caught on camera, Tomasi doubled over in pain, live on air.

“You just f***ing shot a reporter!” a furious protester screamed at police, as others rushed to help the injured Aussie.

Despite the shocking moment, Tomasi managed to yell back, “I’m good, I’m good.”
