You can spend hours in a supermarket and still not find what you're looking for. Or you can go into a thrift shop without searching for anything in particular and walk away with a full bag. I mean, how could you walk away from a plate with a drawing of a bird pooping, with the words, "Here's your snack, dumbass" written all over it? It would go beautifully with that cat-shaped dispenser that shoots tissues out of its butt. Bored Panda has collected some of the most delightfully weird thrifting finds people have ever come across and you have to see them to believe them!

Two Months Ago, My 20 Year Old Kitty Passed Away. After All Those Years, I've Been Heartbroken. Yesterday I Went Downtown To The Salvation Army Store And Found This Gem. I Pasted My Kitty's Photo In The Image So You Can See How Amazing This Is. I Mean. It Is Her!

According to research conducted by thredUp, the second-hand clothing market will grow to nearly 1.5x the size of fast fashion by 2028.
"The last few years of growth in the resale market have been driven by the early adopters (the same ones who first adopted Airbnb or Lyft or DoorDash), but now the skeptics are starting to come around," James Reinhart, Co-Founder & CEO of thredUP said. "We’re seeing first-time thrifters coming to platforms like ours in droves. Not surprisingly, the younger generations are leading this charge, with millennials and Gen Z adopting secondhand 2.5x faster than other age groups."

I've had a couple of sets since college, and have saved so much money on calling locksmiths with them. That set doesn't look like it has a broken key extractor, which is something I always want, but it still will pay for itself hundreds of times over if you can avoid a $150 service call.
The thredUp report says that in 2028, the second-hand market will be worth US$64 billion, in comparison to US$44 billion for fast fashion. As of 2018, fast fashion was worth US$35 billion and second-hand US$24 billion.
"The retail sector needs to find ways to embrace, acquire, or partner with second-hand shop business models because customer adoption is likely to continue," broker-dealer business Cowen and Company said. "Customers of the future will look for ways to recycle, resell or upcycle, and will be drawn to the incredible value of buying secondhand. We believe that brands will need to partner with resale sites and support the circular economy."

I Found This Last Week And It’s Definitely My Favorite Thing I’ve Seen At An Antique Or Thrift Store. Introducing The Violin Vampire Killing Kit!

Even traditional retailers are starting to embrace secondhand. For example, Airbnb is building homes that are designed to be shared, not owned, and IKEA has announced plans to offer furniture rentals.
"The resale customer is no longer somebody else’s customer, they are everybody’s customer," Reinhart added. "Mass market or luxury, if people can find a high-quality product for much less, they’ll choose used. As the line between new and used apparel blurs for consumers, a powerful transformation in retail will unfold

I Rescued This Incredible Globe From The Trash, It’s About 20” Tall And Handcrafted With Semi-Precious Stones And A Brass Base. Not Really That Weird But Definitely Second Hand And Pretty Unusual
varwenea 6 years ago
These things were so popular for a long while sold at many stores. Not ultra expensive but not cheap either. In the hundreds depending on size. This is a rather nice one as the stones used are quite varied, and the ocean's blue colors is magnificent. The brass likely can be polished to shine some more. This is a top notch dumpster fine!

I have one of these lamps without the hobbit door. I think the door was added. I bought my back in the 80's. I saw in the small store several of these lamps with a little different configuration of mushrooms. The small mushrooms are actually real sea coral. The large one were the light blub goes is not real. These lamps were only sold as mushrooms. I have always liked them and still have it on my dresser. I have placed two small fairies figures within the lamp base.

(From https://www.amazon.com/Id-Really-Like-Eat-Child/dp/0307930084) A scrawny little crocodile wants the opportunity to bite off more than he can chew. He's tired of bananas; today he'd like to eat a child. But he's smaller than he thinks, and the little girl he chooses for his first meal puts him in his place—she picks him up and tickles his tummy! The little crocodile is going to have to eat a lot of bananas and grow a lot bigger before he can add children to his menu! Simple yet hilarious artwork brings this droll story to life.

I don't want to start any trouble, but what if Mom is right? Rubbing alcohol. Simple. (Hand sanitizer works better). But then, what if mom is wrong?!?! And what if cleaning the glass allows the inks and spirits to combine into the pliable cloth, bringing to life the boy trapped by the glass. And your only question then should be is he pure evil or purely innocent and who else did you free with him.

Is this a combat skirt? Girls would like this, no more hassle carrying a purse.

Us women go on about wanting pockets in our clothes and that’s fair enough, but this is going a tad overboard don’t you think lol.

Last Year My Son Asked Me To Get Jenga. So When I Found A Used, But Complete In The Box Set At Value Village I Bought It And Gave It To The Kids
When they took it out of the box we quickly realized it had been modified and I had purchased “Frat House Edition”! My kids are way too young for this edition, so now it lives at my friend’s mostly-adults-only cabin

Oh no, not the mullet. There are 2 hairstyles that my hubby can’t have and that is a mullet or a rats tail. It’s his body and his choice, it is also my choice to not remove the hair on my legs, bikini etc lol. He has dreads at the moment (I’m not a huge fan but I can deal) He has been growing them for 5 years now but he is shaving them to in November.

Can't Help But Feel A Tinge Of Heartache From Finding This Abandoned
Koalamonster 6 years ago
Oh.... that's rough. When you find older bits like lockets and such often it's because someone has passed. Seeing one from 2017- which looks to be the date for the stars position not the date that it was made/gifted to someone- much higher chance that someone is just sad now.

Goodwill Find Of Last Week
Foxxy 6 years ago
I would love to be able to use one of these but if it gets in the wrong hands I’m screwed. Trying to remember my passwords for EVERYTHING is getting so much harder. I only usually use 6 different ones but I forget which one I use for which sites etc.
miaow 6 years ago
Me too.. It's easier not to forget though if you use the website name as an example in your password, that's what I do. Like for Bored Panda you could use the word Panda or Pan in yur password, or a similar movie character name. And if you ever forget what password it is, just stare at the site logo name until it comes back to you. Hope this tip helps :)

That chart hangs (without the fancy frame) in all the lavatories in the training barracks at Lackland Air Force Base (where basic training for all Air Force personnel is done). Hydration is important there because you're doing a lot of physical activity in an environment where 115F (46C) isn't unusual.

I have one of these. Sealed inside are the ashes of one of my cats. It's much more dignified and respectful than the cheesy decorated tin can the crematorium sent with my last cat.

Maybe Rover made a miraculous recovery after they bought the box? Or maybe they opted not to cremate him? What happened to Rover? I need to know!

Sorry I missed the boat again on this topic, so I'm sharing mine here. Hope no one minds.
One of my earliest childhood memories is this picture hanging in our kitchen next to the phone. Saw this in a Goodwill for $8 a few years ago. After some Googling, found out it was actually pretty common in households in the 70s, and it sells online in some places for over $50. Currently hangs in my dining room--no way am I parting with this! moms-kitch...3b020a.jpg
