I'm really curious where are those thrift stores. I never ever have found something nice :p
20+ Thrift Store Finds That Mean Nothing to Some and Are a Treasure for Others
Sometimes it’s possible to find genuine treasures at thrift stores, at sales, and even at flea markets. Here is an example: a diamond ring bought for $14 from a thrift store was sold in London for $847,000. The owner who bought this piece of jewelry at the thrift store believed that it was a piece of costume jewelry. However, it turned out to be a valuable piece of jewelry with a rare cut stone.
We at Bright Side feel happy for those lucky people who found their own little treasures among secondhand things. And though it might not be a diamond, someone’s newfound favorite thing will keep them happy for many years to come.
“I found a vintage Sunbeam stand mixer with jadeite bowls that GLOW!!!! As a chef, I’m SUPER stoked!”
“Yesterday’s big score consisted of a gorgeous Victorian wedding dress, an entire set of mid-century dinnerware, and finally, 2 1960s decanters.”
“Snagged this amazing lamp for my son’s room since he loves dragons and dinosaurs, but I think I fell in love with it!!”
“I picked up this Victorian-era hat pin complete with the original box last month.”

“Hand-painted find — this cat has seen some things. I wish I could find out who painted this masterpiece!”
“Thrift store find for $2.99! Banana for scale. Also, they feel like real bananas...”
