When l have gone in some charity shops for CDs for my car, you can hear the workers talking to the dealers, who they put stuff by for. I have even heard the shop workers choosing stuff for their next boot sale! (Yes, l know they work for free)
I think most of the good stuff is gone before the customers get a look in.

Surely they should be more like 20p each?

But yes, sometimes. Ours can get the eyes out but doesn't swallow them.
