South Queensferry branch is top of the shops in charity eBay sales
Staff at Barnardos in South Queensferry have set aside a number of donations that they think will command particularly high prices in the auction process.
And a whopping £9,600 has been raised from what the shop’s Mhari McLeod describes as “special little gems.”

“We recently sold a set of medals which raised £440, a Tiffany lamp for £200 and a gold bracelet which sold for £120.
“Vintage items do particularly well. Just last week, we sold a 1950s teapot with four cups and saucers for £82
.”We are very lucky to get some fantastic donations. It’s thanks to our customers and donors from South Queensferry, Kirkliston and surrounding areas for donating their great items.
“It makes an enormous difference to the work our charity can do.”
