In our opinion "One man's trash is another man's treasure" should be the slogan for every thrift store in the world. Thrift stores are magical places where you can be thrown back a couple of decades back and find something that you've wanted for a very long time. If your hunt succeeds, your goodwill finds will be something you can definitely brag about.
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 of best thrift store finds compiled by Bored Panda, it seems like both of those camps are correct.
While some lucky folks have managed to add signed copies of Hemingway novels and Arnold Palmer's old trunk to their collection of thrift store finds other people have parted with their well-earned cash for...well...just see for yourself. Our picks of best goodwill finds are sure to make you at least a tiny bit jealous, so go out there and find your own pot o' gold!

My Uncle Just Got This At A Yard Sale For Two Bucks
I have a signed copy of Hitchhiker's Guild to the Galaxy signed by Douglas Adams that I got at a Garage Sale for 50c :)
It says: To Carleton and Suzanna Tweed with all best wishes always. From their friend Ernest Hemingway.
Load More Replies...If you google his signature, this is either real or a really good fake.
Honestly, me when I have one my let's-clean-the-place-of-everything crisis.

Thank You Thrift Store Gods. Just Found The Missing Piece To My 1978 Creators Hanging Rain Lamp, At The Same Thrift Store, A Month And A Half After I Found The Lamp Itself. Here Is It, Complete With The Swinging Couple And Original Foliage
Oh gosh I remember these. I wanted one so badly as a kid. Loved running fingers on the "rain"
Whoa! Flashback...I recall those. Used mineral oil to create that falling rain effect. Cool.
Me too! Similar to one my grandmother had. Memories of the 70s.

Load More Replies...I Collect Old Purses From Thrift Stores. I Used One Yesterday For The First Time. I Pulled This Out Of A Hard To See Zip Pocket In The Side
It's been in there for awhile. It's been a LONG time since Canada minted two dollar bills. They look like new bills. Take them to a coin auction.
How do you figure? It's just Canadian currency.
Load More Replies...Hey! That's my find! :) still love treasure hunting at thrift stores. This beauty was a few years back but is not even my most valuable or improbable haul. These bills were neatly stacked in a bank enveloled and slid into a pocket i almost didnt notice because of the tiny zipper lodged under the seam of the purse. It was a black 1990s fossil rio off as i recall. I sell vintage bags and many are worth a lot but this just took the cake...lol... I Still have the twos....the rest of thr bills are gone unfortunately.
Are you kidding me? I have bought thrift store bags on numerous occasion, what do I discover in secret compartments? old tissues and soggy mints, oh yeah and that one safety pin in the corners.
Off all of these, the 2$ bills might be the most valuable ones, since they stopped making them decades ago. Good deal!
The bags and wallets are the first thing I look at when I go to Goodwill. Haven't won this type of lottery, but found s dollar once.
Not The Best Find I've Ever Had, But Definitely My Favourite. $.99 At Goodwill
Indeed. Unless it's a joke. We need a handwriting sample for comparison.
Load More Replies..."Not The Best Find I've Ever Had" WTF, are you crazy?! This is the best find like 1000%
Allright all you easily fooled fools. Do a simple google search for "Stephen Hawking Signature". Then compare to this obvious forgery. As someone else said, Stephen Hawking can hardly hold his own head upright. To think his signature is as flowing as this is the pinnacle of stupidity. "But he signed it in -96".. yeah, but he became tied to a wheelchair in -74 and couldn't get out of bed or feed himself.
Might be a genuine find. A Google search turned up results about books his daughter signed for Hawking and marked with his thumbprint.
Load More Replies...Do you think that he and Ernest Hemingway had similar cursive styles?
This could be real - his nurse or publisher would sign the book and Stephen Hawking placed his thumb print - wonderful :-)
I love thrift stores! I have also made a video about some really nice and cheap things i bought there! If you like you can see it here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54pOhbUy0c0&t=11s

10 Years Ago, I Played Bass In A Local Rock Band. Yesterday, I Found My Band's T-Shirt At Goodwill
This reminds me... In 1997, I designed t-shirts that we sold to finance a school trip to Africa. 10 years later, I am sitting in a restaurant and I see an older guy walking in, wearing one of my t-shirts, hundreds of miles from where they were sold! I asked him where he got it, and he didn't remember. And he said he never set foot in the city where we sold them. "The mystery of the travelling t-shirt"...
Easter Island Head Tissue Box For $3 At Goodwill
I don't want to sound snobby but I actually have 2 of those in my home at Value Village! Swear to god I do have 2 of those

Jackpot. 10k Gold, Diamond, And Emerald Ring For $1
This is from Kohls a few years ago. It used to retail for around $150
They usually check and put "real" stuff under glass. This is a wonderful find.
the week of mt 50th birthday, I got 10k gold, emerald and diamond earrings for $3 at an estate sale.
$12.99 For A Nikon D3200 And $9.99 For A Cannon Eos Rebel Xs. Both Basically Brand New. Thanks Goodwill!
Whoever was pricing that day was not on their A-game. The one near me usually prices camera-gear closer to its market value.
Sometimes Goodwill really over charges you for what is junk, while other times, they simply dont have a clue what something is worth and you end up with a deal like this one! KUDOS!
So I Bought A Wallet For 25 Cents At A Thrift Store Two Days Ago
Sometimes, someone dies, and the family donates their stuff, so they possibly never even knew it existed...
Load More Replies...Oof... my mom got rid of one of my dad's jackets without asking and my dad had left $600 in the pocket.
When my father passed away, we needed his driver's license info for some paperwork, and when I opened his wallet, I found a folded up $50 bill in the back. I told Mom it was his last gift to her and she should buy herself something nice. We found a beautiful winter coat on clearance in a catalog - she loved that coat for the rest of her life.
I dont get it. I heard that the employees always search purses and wallets donated for money! I am happy for you though. I am def. going to start checking wallets myself now!
I often spe d time looking at brief cases purses and wallets in goodwill. I buy them when I find things in them .so far a camera in a briefcase. Two gift cards target and whole sale foods totaled 100.00 . Some foreign money only worth a few dollars.
Again, why don't I find in stuff I've bought at Thrift Stores.
I saw some people come in looking for a box that they had placed their savings in once and it was never found. They were devastated. You might want to let the thrift store know that you found a wallet with money in it so that if someone comes in they could describe it to you. Accidents happen and you never know how much that person may have needed that money :)

This is a medical box, not a tackle box. See the medical symbol next to Plano? Doctors use these at work mostly to hold first aid items and whatever else they see fit to put into it.

So I Just Found Two Old Elvis Tickets Behind The Drawer Of An Old Jewellery Box From Goodwill. I Don't Know If They Have Any Value But I Thought This Was Really Cool
So quickly did an "inflation calculator" to see what this ticket would cost today. $53.72! WTF? I practically pay that in service fees when buying tickets. College costs have gone up by 156% ... Concert prices have skyrocketed by at least 2534%!

A 73-Year-Old Woman Bought A Painting From A Thrift Store For $5 Only To Later Discover That, Thanks To A Fingerprint On The Canvas, It Was Actually An Unsigned Jackson Pollock Worth Millions Of Dollars
I have seen that documentary, and at the time she was fighting to get it actually authenticated. Even with the fingerprint, the art world did not want to give her the satisfaction.
Ummm... No. That is the famous artist's work from Spongebob Squarepants. Also one of Squidward's idols.
I followed this story closely... the art world still refuses to acknowledge this is a Pollock [even with a partial fingerprint] which would make it worth over 10 million... a Japanese collector offered her several millions for it but she balked because she wanted more... greedey harp
Looks like a Pollock, but what's with the fingerprint? Is that how he authenticated his signature or did you have it run through the FBI?
Notice how it's hanging the wrong way in one of the pictures? Or is it the wrong way in both of them?

He was in my Grandad's wedding, and he said my grandad could have gone pro if it wasn't for health which kept him bedridden the last 3 years of his life.

I think its in poor taste. How comfortable would you be to have your grandparents walk in your home and see this? It it would be awkward then they shouldn't be there. If you have grandparents who would think it funny or wouldn't even notice, well then rude and crude is too deeply ingrained in your genes and nothing I could say would make any sense to you anyway.
For $2 At A Flea Market, I Am Now The Proud Owner Of The Worst Game Ever Made
Not really. Any used game store that has old stuff usually has 3 or 4 copies of it for like 50 cents each. They made more copies of the game than they had systems, so they’re not that rare

Many catholics have similar items inside crucifixes. My parents have one that slides open for a priest to use in the "anointing of the sick" sacrament.

That is cute. Sometimes while not elegant or formal things like this can just be fun. If you have kids they will always remember this.
Nooo, ashtrays have the little ciggy slots. Whatever it was made for, this is a perfect use! Perfect!

Flea Market Find. 22 Karat Gold
22 Karat GODL LEAF... Gold leaf worth nothing. Literally. But still nice.
There's a guy on Youtube, his channel is called "Cody's Lab". He's got a video called something like "Gold from dishes" where he goes to a thrift shop and buys several baskets full of dishes with gold like this. Then he tries to extract the gold to see how much he gets. From 2-3 baskets filled with stuff he gets an extremely tiny pellet worth around 1 dollar. Short version: Your plate and cups might get you 0.01usd if you're lucky.
You bum! How gorgeous! Can't you see this being used st a tea or a woman's birthday or Mother's Day or even Easter! This is beautiful. NEVER put it in a dishwasher. I love dishes like this. My mother just found quite a few for almost nothing at an auction she gave me.
i get these all the time, the can cost a lot if you know who to sell too~

I think that might be 'Choking Charlie'. When you administer abdominal thrusts correctly the ball that was 'choking' him pops out of his mouth. It's on a cord though, so can go back in for the next person to practice on. The one behind looks like a CPR mannequin. As a sex doll he would be pretty austere looking.
