50 Times People Couldn’t Believe Their Luck In Thrift Stores, Flea Markets And Garage Sales (New Pics)
It would be harder to find a greater temple to human creativity than the thrift store. Places, where unneeded items are abandoned, are so often a stop for so-called bad ideas, from hardly-useful inventions to rejected art and clothing that was never in style in the first place. But these weird things haven’t found their final resting place… they’re just waiting to be found by people who they truly speak to.
To quote a saying that the Facebook group Weird Secondhand Finds lives by, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Their hauls, taken variously from thrift stores, yard sales, flea markets, and relatives’ closets that haven’t been cleaned in decades, prove that among the items that people decided they didn’t need are some seriously fascinating creations. Sometimes you can even find incredibly valuable and educational artifacts at thrift stores that you won’t believe somebody let slip away.
If you can't get enough after looking through this gallery of thrifting oddities, check out our previous lists of the best second hand shop finds.

Found At A Thrift Store On Whidbey Island, WA -This Old Battered Book Caught My Eye Because It Looked Like It Fell Off A Pirate Ship
Upon further inspection, I found it was a Mark Twain, first edition, printed in 1883 which makes it 137 years old. I bought it for $5
It is a delicate old thing. The pages are chipping with age, and like all secondhand finds, I wonder about its history. How did it get from Little Rock, AR (per the handwriting) to a little island in the Pacific Northwest? Who’s hands have touched it over the course of 100+ years? At one point it rolled out of a printing press into a world that still utilized horse-drawn carriages. I’m unsure of its value, but I treasure this battered old book and will continue to keep it safe

This makes me incredibly sad. I had a beautiful edition of Shakespeare and a matching Sir Walter Scott that was handed down to me by my father. Inside the books, was beautiful calligraphy explaining that they were won by my great-great grandmother at the first annual (town name) agricultural show. Both books were over 150 yrs old...and stolen from me during a home burglary 5 years ago. I wonder if this book met a similar fate.

It Started With One Dinner Plate In A Oregon Thrift Store In 2003
I thought, oh that's nice! And bought it. Then I found the tea cups about 6 months later... Piece by piece, every one of them hunted up at a thrift store in the PNW, building up to this marvelous collect you see today. 17 years in the making. I didn't find anything for years, then recently found a second serving platter and serving bowl

In summer 2019, somebody found a pencil drawing of a nude girl composed of distinctively warped lines in a Habitat for Humanity thrift shop in New York City. Suspecting that it was drawn by Egon Schiele, he contacted a scholar of the artist’s work, who was surprised to find that it was genuine upon analyzing the materials and comparing it with a sequence of Schiele’s drawings.
The newly discovered Schiele piece was determined to be from 1918 and was valued at $100,000 to $200,000. The gallery that the observant thrift store buyer brought it to confirmed that a portion of the proceeds from selling it would be donated to Habitat for Humanity, the charity that the thrift store benefits.

I would buy that in half an instant if I saw it. I’ve been a Python fan since the mid-seventies. I even remember the botched Saturday Night Special airing of three episodes back-to-back, when the network (NBC, I think) cut away for commercials in the middle of sketches then resumed at the beginning of new ones (you never got the end and punchline of the one they cut away from). That was about a year before PBS picked it up and ran it properly. One more reason to love commercial-free PBS!

I Found This Kids Chemcraft Chemistry Set At A Flea Market In Nashville, Tennessee. People Would Lose Their Minds If Something Like This Was Released Today For Kids To Play With
And yes, that's real yellowcake and radioactive uranium ore in the two atomic energy vials. She was asking $22 for it but I think I ended up paying $10. She put a sticker on it saying it's from the 60's but the booklets that came with it state that this is kit no. 10 which was produced in 1947. According to research done in oak ridge, Tennessee, in mid to late 1947, porter chemical company produced laboratory kits for children that included an atomic energy component. Initially, they produced two kits. The no. 10 kit and the no. 25 kit. It's not in the greatest shape and I'm sure there are items missing, but I worked at a uranium enrichment plant for years so I had to have it

Uranium ore, contrary to popular conception, is NOT particularly radioactive. It is used in A-bombs of course but due to its ability to create a chain reaction, which is quite a different thing physically.

In short, have they information vegetable, animal, and mineral to be the very model of a modern Major-General?

2015, I Found This Lovely And Large Portrait In A Local 2nd Hand Story
2015, I found this lovely and large portrait in a local 2nd hand story.
The card on it really caught my attention.
I’m very familiar with Manazanar, the former WW II U.S. interment camp for Japanese American residents and citizens.
My grandfather was a farmer in coastal San Diego county and some of his fellow farmers were Japanese. At the time of the war, only US born Japanese Americans could buy land for farming. My grandfather stored their belongings when his neighbors were sent away. Many others, including churches also stored internees personal possessions.
I had a feeling that this portrait might have been stored for a family and for some reason, they had not recovered it.
A few calls and emails, I was able to get help from the ranger at Manzanar.
Although Itoko was a newlywed when she arrived at Manzanar with her husband, parents and in-laws, the ranger was able to connect me with her nephew Fred who lives in San Diego, not far from me.
He told me that they had never returned to their home in Pacific Palisades and instead relocated to San Diego where they farmed celery. She and her husband never had children and Nephew Fred took care of them in their older years.
Most amazing of all! Itoko was still alive! She was in a nursing home and has memory issues but she recognized her portrait immediately. She told Fred that it was her and that it hung in her bedroom when she was a child.

Generations and generations and generations of government-sanctioned bigotry within the US.... the story behind this image just breaks my heart. I am so very glad though, to hear that neighbours etc stored household items for those forcibly detained, and that the image was finally returned to its original owner. Hopefully people will finally learn from history, and stop such bigotry both today and in the future.... hopefully.

If you haven't yet, you should read the novel When the Emperor was Divine. It is one of my favorite books. It's not very long and is an easy read. The detail Julie Otsuka uses in her writing makes you feel as though you are right there in it all. It is technically a historical fiction novel but is based on her family's experience in the US during WWII.

I See Your Tiny Pets With Mini Furniture- I Give You “My Giant Hare On A Victorian Chair!”
I found this Victorian chair at a thrift store and decided quickly I couldn’t live without it! It’s antique velvet with carved wood.
This is my Flemish Giant Rabbit, Leroux, aka Big Bun. He sadly passed away last year at the age of 9. He was about 19 lbs. and such a character! (Picture on the left for size comparison). He lived everywhere with me including downtown Chicago! He was my world.
Big Bun was always a house rabbit. He even had his own room (included in the photos)! He lived a little longer than normal (lifespan is 7 years or so.) I fed him the best of the best food (Oxbow brand) with plenty of Timothy hay, fresh veggies, and digestive tablets. He was litter box trained and never had accidents in the house. He loved to snuggle and would watch tv with me! Flemish Giants are a wonderful breed of rabbit and make fantastic pets!
I included a picture of him with his dog brothers and my favorite photo of him in his Christmas bow tie. He was always a legend.

They were taken from a funeral home that closed in 1997. These lipsticks were originally in a display case but for ease they now live in this box. They are all in various stages of use
Maureen McDermott 5 years ago
I'm pretty sure they are. My mom used to get them.

I'm kind of wondering about the whole bio-hazard issues on this one. Like, how was the funeral home that closed allowed to donate things like this to a thrift shop? Heck, as far as I know, you can't donate ANY kind of used make-up to thrift shops... If these pieces had all still been sealed when they were sold and the person who posted this entry had been the one who'd been using them (none on bodies), then I wouldn't be at all squicked.

From The Ages Of 3-7, I Modeled For The Nearby Theme Parks, Including Walt Disney World. Fast Forward 30 Years - Someone Was Selling The Print And The Photographers Sketch Of My Very Ad On eBay
I grew up in central Florida and from the ages of 3-7, I modeled for, among others, the nearby theme parks, including Walt Disney World. I did several different ad campaigns for them, but one I did with Snow White was by far my favorite memory, maybe of my entire childhood. During the shoot, she sat me down and interacted with me in character and told me about her dwarves and other Disney friends of hers. I was enamored, never once occurred to me this was not the real snow white sitting with me. This ad was displayed in the parks and ran in several magazines etc
Fast forward 30 years-- I often think of these modeling days with great fondness since it was such a bright spot on an otherwise difficult childhood, and one day last month I decided to google the tagline of the ad to see if there was a chance there was an image of it somewhere online
Lo and behold-- someone was selling the print and the photographers sketch of my very ad on eBay! I had no idea a concept sketch even existed, and cannot believe I came across it through a quick google search of the ad
A family member purchased it for me as a Christmas gift and along with the dress that I still have in my closet, it is the most treasured possession I own! (photo of the original dress included, which I have owned since the shoot)

I would take it to a jeweler before trying any homemade remedies mentioned here. Any one of these could permanently damage the charms especially if you don't know what type of metal they are.

DON'T CLEAN IT. I'm a former antique dealer and cleaning that will make it lose a LOT of value. Take it to an actual certified appraiser, and not just someone who owns a shop or who will "give you an estimate". You owe it to yourself to get it checked.

I bought it about 10 years ago from his wife’s estate. Our house is a Spanish/Mediterranean and I love its moorish styled cabinet doors and drawers. It’s finished beautifully on its back, so it can be used as a floater/divider in large open spaces. It was for his dining room. The drawers are felt lined and sectioned for silverware (we use them for dvds and gaming accessories). The cabinets are finished inside and have their original linen to provide privacy for stored items. We’ve resisted placing items inside that would cause us to drill out the back (hence, the electronic items on top). I was told by his family that this piece was part of many cool gatherings/parties with the rat pack in attendance. The old owner worked closely with Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Frank Sinatra and so many others. I purchased this for $100. We have an unusually long wall in our family room and this piece works perfectly in it. It is cherished by us and hope at some point to see photos with it from those amazing gatherings.
A few extra facts. It is in one, heavy piece that does not come apart. Moving was done by a professional that I happily paid. The cabinet low price is possibly a reflection of that time period, the economy was still very much in recovery and estate sales seem to have a lot to move but few actual buyers, at least from my experience at that time. Just grateful that the stars aligned for us with this piece. We are a board game family and keep a variety stored in the roomy cabinets. I didn't negotiate on price, it was offered as such. We love the piece and it has been the center of many gatherings here, so I think the vibes are good ones.

My Dad Passed Away Suddenly At The Age Of 60 December 6th. And The Id Been Having A Hard Time And Was Feeling Really Down. My Mom Asked Me If I Could Stop At The Thrift Store And Look For Some Rubber Stampers For My 6 Yr Old Niece
So I found a giant bag of them and didn’t really examine them closely. I bought them and tossed them in the trunk and went grocery shopping. Later that night I was rolling the bag around and could not believe what I was seeing! There was a stamper in there with my dads name on it!! I knew at this very moment that it was going to be okay and that I didn’t need to be sad. I have never found anything with my dads name on it really anywhere especially in a thrift store.

In The Late 70s I Was Given My Maternal Grandmother’s Cedar Chest, Which Had Been A Gift To Her From My Grandfather. When My Mom Died In Late 2016, I Inherited My Grandmother’s Photo Albums
One day I was looking through one of the albums and pulled out a photo, and found a folded up piece of paper behind it. It was part of a love letter from my grandfather to my grandmother about why he was giving her the cedar chest. My mom never even knew about the letter. I only knew my grandparents as seniors with a complicated and sometimes contentious marriage, so this glimpse into their love story is very special.
In case you can’t read the note, it says (complete with his original inconsistent punctuation, spelling and capitalization): “And now, Dearheart I come to that which has been in my mind for weeks my Christmas gift for you. I wanted it to be something of ineffable beauty with that quality which so like you, will gain in preciousness as the years roll by. I wanted it to be something you would admire and use reminiscently, in after years joyfully, in the Dream days of Now. And whose age-old traditions would serve only to enchance its value in your eyes. And so I have sent you guess what? Something I have felt you would want for your very own. Something wholly in keeping with those dainty possessions which will find sanctuary within. Something whose lasting and protective fragrance I ask you to accept as a token of my own tender devotion...A cedar chest.”
I put it in a document protector and attached it under the lid along with a photo of my grandparents from around the time that letter would have been written. I’ve always loved the cedar chest but having the letter makes it even more special. I wish the letter had been complete with his signature, and in better condition.

I Got This From My Mom Who Found It At An Antique Store
Kate Johnson 5 years ago (edited)
I have one of those, unless I sold it in my old antique shop. It looks like yours was cracked and repaired, and oddly enough, that type of repair work it's actually sought after by some collectors. The Satsuma with the image was from Occupied Japan if I recall correctly. The woman in the bottom is a common one used (guess the ceramic thickness was known by many) but it's an awesome little piece!

These actually have a name. They aren't super expensive, but they are worth some money. I know because in 2001 I worked at the most random store ever called Tuesday Morning (a discount type store). One day an older woman brought up 10 of these to buy going on and on about how all 10 cost her a fraction of just 1. I looked into it, and bought a few myself.

I moved a huge and ugly pot and she stood behind it in all her sparkly beauty. It is holding butterflies which are our forever babys sign I carried her through the store proudly instead of putting her in the cart. It is taller than the rainbow one (like a big sister would be), and our angel had light hair (like the butterfly one) vs. Our rainbows dark hair (like the rainbow one). They are perfect!

I think my coolest thrift store find was a Santa Monica Goodwill where I found a pair of un-used, un-worn leather pants with the store tags still on them that said that they had been $399 at some point before they were donated. They were crazy awesome rocker things with buckles all up the legs. Brilliant pants. The only glitch was that I had to either lose a f**k-ton of weight (not happening any time soon, since I'm a fat-a*s with a 38 inch waist and these were 34) or modify them (which I CAN do). So I bought 'em for $30. Now I have an astounding pair of kick-a*s leathers that I baby the heck out of so I can wear them as often and hopefully as long as I can.
