Woman buys mystery bag of 'unsellable' charity shop items and takes look inside
A charity shop lover who snapped up several bags of clothing that had been deemed 'unsellable' wanted to see if that was actually the case – so she opened them up A bargain hunting Brit has taken to social media to challenge a charity shop's verdict on a hoard of "unsellable" donations. Danielle, who regularly documents her thrifting exploits online, couldn't resist snapping up 266 items of clothing that the shop in question had given up on trying to sell. She began her video by loading numerous hefty bags into the back of her car, as she mused: "Are they really unsellable or can I make a profit?" Meanwhile, bracing for potential backlash for reselling charity shop items, Danielle pointed out that these garments had languished unsold "for months" even after being marked down to £1 each. "Nobody has bought them, and this charity shop doesn't have the time, space or resources to list these items online," she justified, explaining her rationale behind taking on the task herself. She elaborated: "What's happened for years is charity shops have bagged up these unsellable donations and sold them to clothing recycling companies. But, the value of 'rags' has plummeted - charity shops used to get about £20 for a big bag [of clothing] - now they're lucky to get 50p." Danielle highlighted that as a result, charity shops are now passing these bags onto private individuals who are at liberty to use the contents as they see fit – including turning a profit by selling them on. "This charity shop actually reached out to me for help selling their unsold stock - so I bought nine bags of clothing as a bit of a test," she continued. Showcasing the best of the goods, Danielle gushed that "pretty much everything" was in excellent condition with some items still bearing their original tags. "There was even some pieces I would wear myself," she confessed, brandishing ASOS and H&M summer dresses as a couple of standout examples. Danielle added: "There's also a lot of 'fast-fashion' goods such as Primark and Shein, as well as a couple of kids' pieces including an M&S set." And after examining all 266 items, Danielle revealed that 175 of them were unlikely to shift online, despite 99% of it being in excellent nick. "I think it'd be good for a car boot though at say 50p or £1 per item," she said. Naturally, that left 91 items ready for her to attempt to sell on. Writing in response, one TikTok user claimed: "Quite often charity shops put their prices up too high and no one buys the items. Instead of reducing them they just declare them as unsellable." To which Danielle clarified: "Yeah I've heard from managers who aren't even able to run sales! Crazy. Pretty much everything out of this bag was priced under £6 (and then reduced and not sold) so this one isn't like that!". A second person advised Danielle: "With the right photos and some work you'll sell a lot of that stuff." And she replied: "Agree! I'll do an update shortly with how I got on." While a third queried: "Why don't they send clothing abroad any more?" To which Danielle responded: "They do. But it's getting more difficult as lots end up in landfill - some countries have even banned the importation of secondhand clothes as we are using them as our bins!"

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OASIS fans were left gobsmacked as a Hollywood heart-throb mixed with throngs of gig-goers at Wembley. The Brit actor shunned swanky VIP seats across the London venue for a very ordinary spot in the crowd, where he was seen up off his seat and dancing to the array of Britpop hits.

The Batman movie star, 39, blended into the crowds in a dark blue T-Shirt, with model fiance Suki Waterhouse also present. He was captured in a video posted to TikTok, with the caption: "Went to see oasis and ended up seeing the LOML." In the comments, fans were quick to praise Robert for shunning celeb-only areas. One wrote: "Whaaaaat this is amazing." Another posted: "That's so great that they had normal tickets and weren't in VIP." A third noted: "OMG," as another put: "I'm sorry what." The screen star recently spoke out about his "sipping" diet which he employed to get into shape for his Batman role. BAND SHOCK Oasis' Wembley dates have been marred by the tragic death of one fan during the weekend. Oasis fan plunges to his death 'from upper tier' of Wembley stadium during reunion gig as witness reveals horror Liam and Noel both spoke of their "shock" following the tragic fall, which occurred during the Gallagher brothers' sell-out performance at Wembley on Saturday night. The man - aged in his 40s - was understood to be sitting in the upper tier of the stadium. The highest stands in the 90,000-seat venue are some 170ft above the ground. Police and paramedics attended to the man but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The brothers said they were "shocked and saddened" to hear about the fan's death. In a statement released on Sunday, they said: 'We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night. "Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.' LONDON CALLING Saturday's gig was the fourth of seven London shows on Oasis' blockbuster reunion tour. The band crashed ticket sites when they announced they were making a comeback last year - as more than 14 million fans tried to secure a seat at the highly-anticipated gigs. Last month Liam and Noel reunited on stage in Cardiff for the first time since a backstage bust-up broke up the band 16 years ago. The Britpop icons then returned to their hometown of Manchester for five dates in July. They performed a 23-song setlist of classic hits, including Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger and Live Forever to a roaring crowd of 80,000 people at Heaton Park. They will head to America later this month before returning to London for two more gigs in September. 7 Robert is best known for his role in the Twilight movies Credit: Andrew Cooper,SMPSP/Summit Entertainment 7 The Manchester band is currently on a run of gigs in London Credit: X/oasis

Ed Sheeran fans ‘never been so excited' as singer reunites with Rupert Grint
Ed Sheeran has enlisted Harry Potter star Rupert Grint to once again star in a music video, after he was the centrepiece of the iconic Lego House video 14 years ago. The popstar, 34, shared details for the upcoming video for his new song A Little More – and included a teaser featuring his lookalike friend in on the fun. Playing on their doppelganger looks, Grint, 36, last featured in the Brit singer's 2011 Lego House video, which went on to become the singer's most iconic visual. In the 14-year-old video, Grunt subbed in for Sheeran, mouthing the lyrics to his song, as he played a stalker who was taken into custody after breaking into the singer's tour bus and trying to impersonate him onstage. Sheeran shared a teaser for the new song A Little More, which seems to feature Grint reprising the role of the singer's stalker, after he has been released from prison. What happens next remains to be seen – the music video is set to arrive this Thursday (August 7). Sharing the teaser, Sheeran wrote in the caption: '14 years later me and Rupert Grint are reunited. I had this wild idea after writing the song, and thankfully Rupert was up for it. 'It's an utterly bonkers video for a very upbeat, fun, but angry song. Think this one is gonna be a lot of people's fav song from Play. Out Thursday, watch out for more stuff coming x.' In the comments section, Sheeran's fans were delighted over the reunion. @Sheeran_lisa wrote: 'I don't think ever been this excited for a music video in my entire life.' 'Lego House is one of my favouritesss 🥺 super excited for a little more!!!?!,' added @_notaaryan_. Others were left hugely nostalgic over the link up from one of Sheeran's most poignant songs, with @ writing: 'Been feeling a lot of 2011 nostalgia this year and I love that this will feed into it.' More Trending Superjules69 added: 'I love that your head went there & Rupert had unfinished business 😂😂 can't wait to see the video, A Little More already my fave!!' The pair have played on the lookalike over the years, with Grint once pretending to be the singer on MTV. Grint has said they are indeed mistaken for one another by fans on the street. 'It is kind of 50/50 now,' Grint said in 2017 on The Late Late Show With James Corden. 'Someone stops me, it could go either way.' Got a story?
