Its all in the back room of a Charity Shop that has closed down , is there anything you can see here that is worth selling , and/or anything that you would just throw away and bin ..or would you say all of it is junk .

That mirror caught my eye because it would be intersting to see how old it is and the quality of the mirror. To see if the back of the mirror is silver plated and has very good reflective qualities. Mirrors like a hundred years ago or more were silver plated.
 

No way i'd trash it all without taking closer look.
Decoritive carving on mirror could mean it is old enough to have the plated backing.
The planters and the table the green one is on could surely find a home.
Can't tell how solid the rocker is from the photo, but it too could be useful.
And me, i'd want that Buddha.
Would also want a closer look at what appears to be some kind cabinet or set of drawers turned on its side near the Buddha.

Also, good idea to check not only in drawers of any furniture but take the drawers out and checked nothing taped to bottom of drawers or to inside frame. Often family disposing of a deceased loved one's everyday stuff never thinks to check for concealed items. Cash, love letters, diaries. They might at least be a glimpse into an interesting past or even have historical relevance.

But the furniture doesn't have to be old. A few years after the Columbine shooting the family of a female victim (whose brother survived and suffered devastating survivor's guilt) was finally clearing out her room and found some writings of hers that helped them heal.
 
When I was young I could have happily used most of those things to furnish an apartment.

Today the only thing that catches my eye is the green ceramic planter.
 
The brown flower pot with ears on it upfront on the floor, the Buda & the wicker rocker would bring a good price. Others are too close together & can't see them that well.
 
My guess, everything should sell if the price is reasonable. When the charity shop had it the price might have been too high or maybe these things were never put out.

That little side table would be great for a small bedroom.

The mirror frame is interesting so if the mirror is not decent, remove it and just use the frame.

It would probably all sell eventually except for that black rag on the floor. The only things Iā€™d care to check out is the green flower pot and that little white table with 2 drawers.
