We all know that thrift stores are loaded with amazing items that are yet to be treasured by new owners. Somebody created a facebook group to help people share all the amazingly weird things they encounter while browsing Goodwill's shelves.

"Found a magazine ad of my Great Grandma and twin uncles from 1952! They're all gone now, so it's a doubly amazing find."
David Jeu 6 years ago
They were for 1950 and they are both dead. I guess I won't feed quackers oat to my twins.
Kathryn Baylis 6 years ago
That was the 1950s for you. It's her face, but her husband's first and last names---the only person NOT in the picture---on the ad. She should've gotten full billing, same for the kids. They were beautiful and deserved it. Please don't take what I've written the wrong way; it's a lovely picture and a really cool memento of the poster's relatives, especially since they're all gone now.

"Today’s find...they may look like normal old ratty chairs, but here’s the kicker - I already owned them once before. Brought them to the US from Europe when I moved back home in 2001, and stored them with a relative. After a rift in the family, I considered them a loss. Here they are, nearly 20 years later, in a 2nd hand store. Though they may be much worse for the wear, they’re coming home with me (again)."

I'm sure a furniture repair person bring them back to their original state.

I somehow managed to rebuy my old Atari 2600, 20 years after selling it at a car boot sale. It made its way across to the other side of England, to another car boot. I know it was mine because my house number and post code were scratched on the bottom.
John Montgomery 6 years ago
I had a slightly similar experience with a table. I saw the same table again in a party supplies store. I knew it was the same table because it had the same burn mark in the wood as when we first got it.

"My absolute favorite Goodwill purse find that I wear a LOT! It's a 3D flat purse. I had wanted one for a really long time, but they're normally $75 brand new. This one still had the plastic sheeting on the buttons and was never worn. I think I paid $7-$8!!! It's surprisingly roomy inside. MAGIC!
EDIT: This is an original Jump From Paper bag. Yes, I know there's cheap ones online, but those are knock offs. Please love and support your designers and artists by buying originals. Ok, off my soap box. Thanks!"
Sherida van den Bent 6 years ago
You know that when you buy originals but not from the original artist, the artist still gets 0? You might as well buy a cheap knockoff. If you want to support your designers and artists, buy their originals _from them_.
Wil Vanderheijden 6 years ago
You're right. Buying a second hand bag for $7 instead of a new one for $75 makes no sense at all. Especially when the multi-million dollar company needs your money so badly.

Best thing I ever stumbled across was when I was documenting my Grandparent's valuables in their home and found a cardboard tube in their bedroom closet in the rafters. Turned out to contain my great great grandfathers civil war sword..complete with sheath, velvet cover and gold silk rope. The hilt was a knight's helmet and the sword was engraved with ivy patterns and his name. My hands were shaking as I carefully put it back....

Not a thrift store find, but once I found a matching pair of candlestick holders that belonged to a set of christmas dishes my mom had... and also found a jug that matched a set of glasses she had, both at completely different stores. Both on clearance. My best thrift store find is probably the little mini display case that's about a foot tall that I keep some of my tiny keepsakes in. It looks like a full-size one, just mini. Has magnetic glass doors and everything :)
