A WOMAN has been slammed for having no ‘morals’ after reselling a designer charity shop find.
Emily, from the UK, took to social media to share her bargain find that she planned to sell on and make a profit.
In the clip, she said: “Today I found an item worth £695 in the charity shop, and you’ll never guess how much they were selling it for.”
She then headed off to St Peter’s hospice charity shop, which raises money to support and care for adults with progressive life-limiting illnesses in the Bristol area.
Em, who says in her profile bio that she currently works night shifts but is hoping to quit and become a full-time reseller, found lots of goodies in store.
She found brands such as Nobody’s Child, Cath Kidston, Vans and Lauren Scott.
But she hit the jackpot when she came across some designer high heels.
The beige heeled ankle boots were from a brand called Gina, a designer brand based in London.
She added: “And these were my best ever find.
“These shoes are by a brand called Gina. They are £695, and I paid £10.”
Em was chuffed with her find and took them home with her to resell them online and make a profit.
She revealed: “They were unworn. And I’m not expecting to sell them for that much but to find something originally worth that much in a charity shop is pretty impressive.”

However, people in the comments section were divided over her bargain find, with some saying she had no ‘morals’ when making a profit from a charity shop buy.
One person wrote: “And this is exactly why charity shops charge a lot more now than they use to, so not to be a one stop shop for resellers.”
Another commented: “Making profit out of a hospice charity shop. How many hours of nursing care that could have given to that hospice.”
“You should pay extra if they mispriced expensive goods – it’s for charity – have some morals,” penned a third.
Meanwhile, others were quick to support Em, a fourth said: “Well done. I love it when we get a bargain. Great find.”
“Oh wow, amazing! Great find. Do an update once you’ve sold them,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Honestly why do people moan about moral obligations etc! Go and moan at the ceos/shareholders that take more money off the charity than they should!”
