My local British Heart Foundation shop was selling a secondhand IKEA table for £5 more than new in Ikea, I pointed it out to a member of staff who just shrugged and I said she didn’t do the pricing.

BHF in Exeter was trying to sell a battered game of Monopoly for £12 with "5 missing pieces" written on the box. You can get one new in Smith's for that price as long as you don't mind it being the Twilight version or something.
