Not sure how big a box is, but hypothetically, 25,000 bars could work out at (average) less than 45 bars per shop, and that's before even taking any out to sell online. It's definitely not a lot when you're talking national. Edited April 18, 2023 by incident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenG92 Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Got 3 bars, it's for charity, whatever. But 3:25000 is far from the worst odds I've paid to get at. Already going but have mates who missed out. Gonna Charlie Bucket them in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glimmers_of_hope Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Just bought one from our local oxfam. They had one box and looked like they may have sold a handful. No joy this time but at least the chocolate is quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ell99 Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Just bought a bar from Covent Garden Oxfam - it was the penultimate bar and they said they had been selling like hot cakes and that is all of their stock now gone. A second later a woman got the final bar and I offered her a swap - but she declined! I luckily already have tickets but will help some friends out - to be opened tonight!

Dukeicon Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 With the Tony / Oxfam competition, Shop Staff can't enter. However, just noted this at the bottom of a post. So if you are an Oxfam Shop Staff / Volunteer, keep your eyes peeled! Quote *Please note - Unfortunately although Oxfam staff and volunteers are unable to enter the competition, we will be running our very own competition exclusively for shop staff and volunteers* https://www.instagram.com/p/CrJl8KRqzWL/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario man Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Just been to 2 shops, one sold out (Kingston) the second I got the last 2 bars (Surbiton). No luck! Looking on Twitter they are selling like hot cakes, many people buying in bulk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incident Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 The weather report from West Bridgford - both shops have loads left. The Books and Music Store has more on display than the Regular shop, but also (judging by the gaps) looks like they've sold a higher % as well. I bought from both, just in case, and came up empty.

jonnyisRFC Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Just been to my local Oxfam 🤞🏼 these were the first bars they’d sold! They’d only been given 1 box containing about 30 bars. The woman who served me said that another Oxfam shop about 5 miles away said a bloke came in yesterday and bought the whole box 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
