Beckham Items Three Times the Original Price on eBay after Red Cross Sale. Sale Proceeds to be Donated to Yolanda Victims

One careful owner: Mrs Beckham's collection of jewelled shoes by Jimmy Choo and others look barely worn

Pieces included in the sale came from Manolo Blahnik and Cavalli

The Beckhams donated more than 20 boxes of clothes to the Red Cross

Money raised by the sale will help victims of Typhoon Haiyan

Victoria has spoken out encouraging others to donate to the cause

Less charitably, some of the pieces sold have already been listed on eBay

They gave more than 20 boxes of clothes, bags and shoes in an attempt to raise money for victims of Typhoon Haiyan but pieces from David and Victoria Beckham's bumper donation have already ended up in less scrupulous hands.

Just hours after the Red Cross shop selling the Beckhams' donations opened, items from the sale are already listed on eBay.

Among them are a tuxedo that belonged to the former England footballer and a pair of Dolce & Gabbana shoes that were once owned by his wife.

Choice: The shoes, in a rainbow of colourful shades, line the shelves of the Kensington Red Cross shop

Many of the pieces also have reserve prices that far outstrip that charged by the charity shop, with the tuxedo offered for a minimum £300 - far higher than the £75 needed to buy it.

The original sale, which opened this morning, saw fans queue around the block in a bid to get their hands on items owned by the superstar couple.
Despite the less-than-honourable intentions of some shoppers, inside the scene was one of good natured chaos as shoppers fought to get their hands on the choicest designer goods.

But those who wanted to get their hands on pieces from Victoria's current wardrobe were left disappointed as most of the garments dated from her WAG days.

Also included in the sale were pieces that were worn during her Spice Girls career including a slashed-front LBD, a tight black T-shirt emblazoned with the word 'POSH' and an oatmeal hoodie with 'Spice Girls' picked out in black across the back.

Uncharitable: This tuxedo jacket that was once owned by David Beckham has a minimum £300 bid attached

Throng: Shoppers eager to get their hands on a piece of fashion history scramble to the till at the charity shop

Battle of the black dress: Although it caught the shopper on the left's eye, the blonde lady took the piece home

Excited: This Beckham fan appears utterly overjoyed to be allowed into the shop when it opened at 11am

But there were still bargains to be had as many of the pieces, which included designs by Dolce & Gabbana, Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo, started at just £25.

The couple also donated their famous matching Dickensian outfits worn at the Venice Film Festival in 2006.

Posting photos of her piles of discarded clothes ahead of the giveaway on her Twitter page, Victoria wrote: 'Proud to support @BritishRedCross #ShopDrop Donating clothes for #Haiyan survivors.'

Victoria, who is said to have spent the weekend sorting through her wardrobe, urged others to follow her example and donate their old clothes.

The charity shop was packed with almost as many customers as designer clothes

Some savvy shoppers, like Steve Moss (pictured) intend to sell their hard won items on Ebay.

Shoppers needed to be sharp elbowed to reach some of the items, as the rush for the best clothing heated up

She said: ‘Typhoon Haiyan has devastated the Philippines, killing thousands and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. The British Red Cross is now carrying out an enormous humanitarian relief project to help all those people in desperate need.

‘David and I are supporting the Red Cross Shop Drop for the Philippines campaign and we urge everyone in Britain to do the same.

A Red Cross source said: ‘We asked if they would like to help us raise money for the Typhoon Haiyan survivors and they jumped at the chance.

Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines on Friday November 8th, and has left more than four million people homeless.

Memorabilia: The majority of the items lining the rails date from Victoria's Spice Girls pop career

Mayhem: Hundreds of people are expected to descend on the Kensington shop to purchase the clothes


His and hers: It's not just Victoria's clothes which are up for sale, her husband David has also contributed

In her shoes: Beckham fans will be able to get their hands on Victoria's footwear - which are sizes four and five

Last bits: A shopper tries on some of the leftover pairs of Victoria Beckham's shoes at the Red Cross shop

All gone! The racks lie empty just hours after the vast donation from the Beckhams went on sale

The early days: Victoria made her sartorial name by sporting classic little black dresses whenever she could


Mono mania: Sometimes she'd wear an all white suit (left) or plump for a black furry ensemble instead

Sophisticated: Her look became more and more ladylike as her wedding to David Beckham approached


The WAG years: During David's Madrid and Manchester career, Victoria's style became more colourful

Queen WAG: Victoria led the England wives and girlfriends during the ill-fated Germany World Cup run


Sporty Spice: A move to Los Angeles inspired a sportier approach and a blonde cropped hairstyle

Glamorous: By the time Spice Girls The Musical arrived, Victoria had adopted the chic look we know and love



Super-stylish: Whether at the airport or out on the town, Victoria always looks perfectly put together

    13. to anon 2:07, do u know what u r talking about?! paano naging mas mayaman si gretchen barretto kesa ke victoria beckham?! let me point out 1) vb is earning in pounds as in £ while gb is earning in pesos as in php, ang conversion ng pound to pesos is 71.00, vb's royalty fees from spice girls records are in multi-million pounds, so do the math my dear kung magkano un sa pesos, ano ba ang income ngayon ni gb?! wala naman syang project ngayon sa tv or movie; and 2) vb is married to david beckham thus she is entitled to conjugal income/earnings, while gb isn't legally married to her partner cojuangco, kaya d sya entitled legally unless if and when cojuangco dies and she is left with will/pamana may matatanggap sya if and only if cojuangco's mother will not contest it in court.. kaya teh research-research muna ha pag may time..
