| Jávea Grapevine February 2015 If you are not sure what is involved it is very easy and very simple and very transparent - and in helping the Charity Shop to raise funds for good causes, you are also helping to de-clutter. Not sure what is involved or what you can take to sell? Here are the current Terms and Conditions Goods are accepted for sale for the client at the client’s own risk. The Original Charity Shop cannot be held responsible for missing items. You are required to sign a disclaimer card stating that you understand this rule. Linen, curtains, china, glass, ornaments etc must be clean and undamaged. We do not accept DVD´s or CD´s for sale but donations are passed on to the library. Computer games will only be accepted with a games console. A donation, which goes to charity, is 25% of the sale price – you receive 75% of the agreed price. Electrical goods, clocks and watches must be in working order and have either a Spanish plug or live batteries installed. Printers must have ink in them. These are accepted on trust and on condition that they are in perfect working order. All items are put on sale for one month. If you have ever thought about selling some of your no longer wanted items - have you considered selling them through the Original Charity Shop. Household goods You may bring in a maximum of 8 items for sale, twice a week and the minimum amount allowed on one sheet is 10 euros. For the Record TERMS AND CONDITIONS When one of these items is sold and paid for, the buyer is given THREE full working days to try it at home. If he or she experiences any problem, it can be returned to the shop and the buyer will receive a full refund of the purchase price. Items not sold during that month and which have not been reclaimed become the property of the Original Charity Shop and all money raised by their eventual sale goes directly to charity. You may reclaim any item within the month or reduce the price. Goods cannot be entered for a further month. We take in items from Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 12.30 pm. The green receipt is important and must be produced to claim your payment – pay out days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 am to 12.30 pm. Any money due is kept for six months from the date of sale, any unclaimed sums will be added to our charitable funds. Clothes Must be clean, modern and in good condition. Underwear and shoes are only accepted if brand new. (We do not accept children’s clothes for sale but we can take them as donations and pass them on). Men’s suits may be accepted for sale at the Manager’s discretion. The client who brought the item to sell will be advised of the problem. WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INCORRECT ACTION PERFORMED BY THE BUYER DURING THESE THREE DAYS. If you do not agree with this procedure, we cannot accept your item for sale on commission. Small pieces of furniture are accepted if we have available space. Articles we do not accept for sale We do not take rugs and carpets. We do not take in video cassettes. We do not accept articles that need professionally installing e.g. gas boilers. We do not accept bicycles for sale but will accept donations.
