POLICE are selling designer perfume gift sets, bikes and bundles of clothes with tags still on.
These are among the latest offerings on the Thames Valley Police eBay page, which is updated weekly by the staff at TVP HQ in Milton Keynes.
The force uses the auction site to sell old evidence and unclaimed stolen items.
Some of it has been stolen from a shop and then seized by police officers in an investigation.
Usually officers store things away for a while before the decision is made to bin it, donate it or sell it.
Last week police sold designer gear at a fraction of the retail price.
The eBay page is where the selling pile ends up and this week there are 17 weird and wonderful things for sale (prices accurate at the time of print):
