Did you go back and ask someone else about the posters? I'm sure the manager of the shop would have sold them to you.<br />My local Goodwill puts those plastic garment tags that puncture the fabric on the clothes. I found a 1970s Yves St. Laurent silk blouse -- worth quite a bit of money -- and it had a small hole in the shoulder from the tag. I complained and asked that the tags be put somewhere less visible, but I doubt anything was done.<br />I'm in the U.S. and spend part of the year in London and have the feelings about London charity shops -- they're rarely worth visiting.Joyatrihttp://www.joyatri.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136019509269851382.post-46998868520454921812012-06-21T23:29:51.267+01:002012-06-21T23:29:51.267+01:00Yes, try again with different staff-i have tried t...Yes, try again with different staff-i have tried that with success before!

How mental that they stuck them up with sellotape - and agree with Kylie about ridiculous price labelling on old things. Mind you, shops do the same thing with their security tags, huge things at the neck which make clothes almost impossible to try on!<br /><br />I'd try going in again and asking when a different member of staff is working. Failing that, there's some cheaper ones on eBay at the moment<br /><br />http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Biba-Original-Poster-/270954451434?pt=UK_Collectables_Advertising_ET&hash=item3f1624d1ea#ht_500wt_1156<br /><br /><a href="http://faithhopeandcharityshopping.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/faith-hope-charity-swapping-2012.html" rel="nofollow">Faith Hope and Charity Swap 2012 Sign up now OPEN!</a>Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping]https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247624645636227130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136019509269851382.post-35751822640455139602012-04-10T20:12:28.323+01:002012-04-10T20:12:28.323+01:00I have an original Biba poster tucked away somewhe...I have an original Biba poster tucked away somewhere - I didn't realise how much they've risen in price!!!<br /><br />If I were you, I'd go back when that guy isn't there and try your luck with another member of staff.The Vintage Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479653990888198151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136019509269851382.post-36415781077295849982012-04-10T04:44:16.463+01:002012-04-10T04:44:16.463+01:00Holy crap, I'd keep gong back and ask someone ...Holy crap, I'd keep gong back and ask someone else if you could buy them, that's crazy!<br /><br />I keep hoping to find a Biba score when I visit London but I'm never that lucky.Psychedelicsisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915724191647277002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136019509269851382.post-74456704140336864742012-04-07T23:40:42.221+01:002012-04-07T23:40:42.221+01:00The best stuff here in Perth (well, the best stuff...The best stuff here in Perth (well, the best stuff in my opinion) is never for sale. Quite frequently I spot something wonderful in an oppie, get all excited, rush over etc only to find a NFS sticker staring me in the face. <br />And on the sticky tape, WHY do they do that??? And not just sticky tape, why oh why do they insisit on sticking price tags in inappropriate places? Like the front of a beautiful old book for example. You just know you're going to lose a piece of the cover when you try to (very carefully) peel it off. It makes me very cross.<br /><br />p.s.that chap should've sold you the Bibba posters.Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258543009688502584noreply@blogger.com
