"Hidden gem" earns record-breaking 16 hundred pounds for EACH
The Nikon Scanner is the charity's highest selling item to date
A "hidden gem" found in a pile of eBay items has earned a record-breaking 16 hundred pounds for East Anglia's Children's Hospices.
The Nikon scanner was donated to the charity's shop in Bungay and listed on their eBay site - 10 days later it sold for hundreds of pounds.
Bethany Watchman, an EACH E-Bay Sales Assistant based in Thetford, said: “This item is our highest selling item to date, beating our previous record of a mini grand piano which sold for £1,020.
“It was tucked away in our pile of scheduled items from shops, so was quite the hidden gem and went for an incredible price.”
The eBay team are hoping for more success in terms of selling cameras and photographic accessories.
“We have a brilliant volunteer who has an expansive knowledge on this subject,” she said.
“We’ve definitely seen an increase in profits because of it.”
EACH cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions, and their families, across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk.
