Every time I’ve been to a thrift store, I can only find things that seem to be leftover junk from an estate sale. Some people really know how to find some hidden treasures while idiots like me are sifting through mustard yellow blazers and VHS tapes. These people really hit the jackpot with their thrift store finds.
1. “I bought this at a flea market for $1. All the stones turned out to be real diamonds and the metal is platinum.”
2. “A 10K gold pocket watch for less than $5 — seems like a lucky find.”
3. “Scored Vintage and new manga for under $22! At least worth $105”
4. “I found this cool 1940s jewelry box at a thrift shop yesterday.”
5. “I got this bracelet made of 14K gold with diamonds and rubies for next to nothing — I only paid $15.”
6. “So I found an original Thonet bentwood rocking chair with the matching stool. Online tells me both are worth $1700 total. Got both for $25!”
7. “I found this thing for $3 and I’ve already taken it to a local professional who specializes in Chinese artifacts. He believes that the metal is silver and that this thing was made in the early to mid-1700s.”
8. “This 14K white gold and diamond bracelet cost only $3.”
9. “I paid only $3 for a ring, although both of them have a 950PT mark which means the stones are most likely real diamonds.”
10. “I found this at a flea market for $5. A ladies’ Sheaffer pen with a 14K gold nib!”
11. “5-gallon Medalta fermentation crock, $20 at a garage sale! Worth around $200 or so. Rare find, especially out east.”
12. “This is my best find. I found a shabby wallet with a bunch of old money in it in a trash can.”
13. “Got about $200 worth of Rothy’s for $10!”
14. “Tonight, I found a vintage ivory hairbrush and a Tiffany & Co. shaving brush with a sterling silver lid.”
15. “This $25 choker seemed expensive to me at first. But when I went back to get it another time, I already knew that it was made of gold leaf and produced in Germany in the 1960s. Now I’m just in love with this find.”
16. “I can’t believe I found this authentic vintage Christian Dior bag for $3.00. I checked all the markings and found out vintage sellers sell it for $600+ online.”
17. “All these rings are made of solid gold, although they were marked as costume jewelry at a thrift shop. I paid $5 for each.”
18. “This is probably my best find — a vintage platinum diamond and blue sapphire ring. It cost only $19.99.”
19. “I didn’t realize until I got home that these sunglasses were plated with real gold.”
20. “The flea market literally presented me this sterling silver tableware for 25 cents.”
21. “Scored this 30$ mirror at goodwill and found out it’s worth 1,200!!”
22. “I found this in the dumpster of my local thrift shop this morning. It’s marked as 14K gold and weighs 1.28 oz. I took it to my local jeweler and got $750. This has definitely been a good week.”
23. “This authentic vintage Louis Vuitton bag with all its accessories can be easily sold for $1,500 to $2,000. And I got it for only $6.99!”
24. “The day after my whiskey glass at home breaks, I found two original Waterford crystal glasses. Worth $80 got them together for $1.50”
25.“Found this bad boy the other day. Paid $15, Google says it’s worth $220.”
