"Case Study: Big brother fan sitting pretty
Mario Mugan, of Southend-on-Sea, Essex, is an avid Big Brother fan and was thrilled when he learnt that the diary room chair used in Celebrity Big Brother 5 was on sale at BuyOnceGiveTwice.co.uk.
“I am installing a bar in my house and the chair will be perfect for it,” says the 26-year-old dressmaking student. “I want to see my friends' reactions when they see it. I paid £6,600, which is much less than I expected - and it goes to a great cause.”
The sale benefited GetConnected, a charity that offers a helpline for young people who find themselves in difficulties. It has not been Mr Mugan's only purchase. “I also bought a bottle of whisky signed by Gordon Brown for £1,000 and tickets to a fashion show in London for £2,000. That includes travel by limousine from Southend, with champagne, so is great value. I like the concept. I get to buy unique things and help others.” "
