An unusual donation has reeled in a huge amount of money on a charity's ebay page.

The British Heart Foundation has released a list of the top 10 most unique things to be donated to shops across the south east and sold via its e-bay page, and a donation from Sevenoaks was included in the runnings.

A Royal Copenhagen 5456 Salmon fish ornament was donated to the British Heart Foundation shop in the high street and was number two on the list.

The ornament was put on sale at a starting price of £9.99 and after just five keen bidders in ten days, the ornament had gone past the £500 mark and was eventually sold for £555.

Andrew Shaw, BHF eBay Manager, said: “It’s amazing what people donate to BHF shops.

When staff spot high-value and unique items, they send them over to us and we list them on eBay.

"This means we not only get the best price for the rare and beautiful items, but that these objects are available to many more people than they would be if they were just sold in the shop they were donated to.

“One hundred per cent of the profits raised from these items go into the fight against heart disease, helping the BHF continue its life-saving work."

A 22ct gold sovereign coin bearing the head of Edward VII from 1905 was sold for £220.89 on the BHF eBay store and was number one on the most unique donations listed.

Donated to the Portslade BHF shop in East Sussex, the rare coin was manufactured in Perth in the early 20 century and weighed 8.01g.
