TV auctioneer shares which £1.50 charity shop items are actually worth £100

Scouring charity shops for the best bargains can be exhausting when items all look the same - making it hard to tell apart the tat from the treasure. But expert auctioneer Charles Hanson has helped shoppers dig out the more valuable items that are worth far more than their ticket price.

The 44-year-old TV personality, who can spot the best buys instantly, has been tasking his Twitter followers with finding the valuable item hidden in plain sight by posting the shelf photos, taken in charity shops all across Derbyshire. The items had been on sale for £1.50 to £4 - but were actually worth up to £100 at auction.
