Charity shops often sell 2nd-hand donated products by the public members, and they usually keep voluntary staff for this purpose. As the products for sale were acquired without any cost along with the low cost of business, the products can then be sold at quite low charges.

After the payment of costs, whole accumulated earning from the sales is utilized according to the organization's avowed charitable purpose. The same procedure is being followed by a number of charitable organizations for Australia Charity.
