Some people think thrift stores, yard sales and flea markets are nothing but places to find piles of junk that other people don't want. Others see them as veritable treasure troves full of goodies just waiting to be discovered. And as you can see from this list compiled by Bored Panda, it seems like both of those camps are correct.

Well, time to raid the thrift stores
I'm obsessed with second-hand book shops... I suppose I should try to persuade my poor tortured relatives to go to a thrift shop/flea market as well, because sometimes I really hit the jackpot. Who knows, I might even become a millionaire overnight! :D
LOVE bookshops! My sister in law works at one in Berkeley. She gave me an original printing of Tom Sawyer in good condition for my birthday.
same here...I've found,and bought,quite a few early editions of William S Burrough's,Bukowski's, and others novels. old style pics on covers are awesome. even though it doesn't make the book an investment, I enjoy seeing the little messages from the giver,to those who were gifted the books. a little intimate insight to someone's life,who may not even be alive,now.
Interesting stuff..
