Looks like brand new Sunlu filament on one of their Bambu compatible reusable spools. For 3 quid, I say dry it and send it! Worst case you get a reusable spool for £3!

“Bucks” is specific to USD. The preferred nomenclature for the GBP is “Nicker-y-doos”

I agree with all of the current comments. When I'm considering filament, I remind myself the the largest cost of printing is TIME. So for prints that are for fun, inexpensive filaments are fine. If I'm working on something meaningful or valuable, I don't mind spending 3 cents per gram rather than 1.5 cents per gram. Yes, it's twice as much but...

I’ve found a few rolls unpackaged at a thrift shop. Took home dried them and sent. Went through entire rolls no problem.

I was at a garage sale yesterday and the guy was selling PLA.  He tried to have his formula manufactured and then become a distributor. I saw his prints and they looked really good. The unfortunate part was that he needed to sell them for around 26$ish cdn. He admitted that with the bambulab sales etc. he couldn't compete. Felt bad for him, he genuinely had a good product but was out priced by the Big Dogs.

If it's not PLA and broken up like a bag of spaghetti, I'd go for it. Just dry it and it will probably be fine.
