Charity Shop bargain - should I feel guilty

Thanks for views.

For the moment my wife wants to keep it, but if it does get sold in the future then 10% of selling price will go to Cancer Research Wales.

Nice gesture that..

I wouldn't feel guilty - a charity shop helper told me the local antiques dealer gets to trawl through the stuff before it goes on display.

possibly that lucky find was a reward for already giving to that charity?

if you do manage to sell it for £450 then bung £20 in the collection pot next time your in... would still be £20 more than they had before you stepped in

Yep,

The fact that you were in the charity shop in the first place is a good thing.

Can't kick the charity shop habit, nearly all my books come from them, plus the odd bit of bike stuff, a saddle bag and a winter cycling top.
