This Group Is The Home For All Of The Weirdest Secondhand Finds People Come Across, And Here Are 40 Of The Most Spectacular

I picked this up from a yard sale.

So excited to find this official Par-tic-I-Pation guide.
I didn’t know this was a thing (I have to edit to say I know theater participation is a thing, I’ve gone many times in the past 20 years) but it’s basically the script with where the audience is supposed to chime in at a movie theater viewing.
And it’s official, yes it’s from 1991 but I didn’t write it so stop saying its regional and this isn’t correct. It’s correct enough to be official.
I am flabbergasted that some of you are so upset about a book.
The gatekeeping over someone so communal to outsiders as a cult classic like this is disgusting.
Enjoy this book, enjoy the movie, do whatever the f*ck you want but don’t judge others for what they enjoy.
I personally love it. I’m going to show it to our local troupe.

Snatched this T shirt up real quick at Goodwill!

I got this cool guy at a yard sale a few weeks ago. Someone must have collected costume dolls because they had a ton, but he was in his closed box on the floor. I opened it and saw the masks and decided I needed it, since I’m a fan of Japanese folklore (and folklore in general.) He’s definitely made for tourists as a souvenir, but I think he’s pretty old

I like to sew and inherited my grandmother Ann’s homemade green linen-covered pin cushion — which she received from her mother. I have used it for years.
Well, a new puppy of ours found it one day and decided to play with it and ripped it open. The cushion’s innards were exposed, and at first I was horrified and upset at the dog. But then, so surprised to see what was inside, and to think I could actually be holding the tresses of one of my ancestors…

This did not come home with me.

Because doesn’t EVERYBODY need a purple toilet?!?!

Thrifted this little girl’s umbrella. With the Morton Salt little girl on the handle, the umbrella has the Morton Salt logo “when it rains it pours”.

Estate sale find. Never seen anything like them before

Death Star tea mug. Found for 75 cents at Miracle Hill Thrift Store in Easley, SC.

I shared this before but I wanted to show this afghan I thrifted for Pride Month
Cat for scale

Got this at the Goodwill bins for less than $7! It’s a vintage Sears coat

$300 at Spookala in Ocala Florida.
Did not purchase, did admire.

Tonka gold

Yeah I bought them!

My $10 Facebook Marketplace find. So happy to have this unique piece. I’m probably gonna reupholster it and maybe stain it darker. It’s definitely hand made too.

Found these ginormous porkers at an antique mall in AZ today. I have named them Charles and Camilla.
The lady is marked shipman 1997. The beefeater is a butcher shop display. I'm finding them online for a total of about $500. I paid $39 plus tax for the pair.
My kitchen is now "sow-ton abbey"
SCORE

Brass, crudely cast in one piece

I thought this was cool. Found on Marketplace. It is a prayer chair, maybe from 1900s.

t Bob's Bargain Barn in Van Wert, Ohio.

Found a Rookwood vase from 1928 in the wild for $5.98. If you know, you know!

Saw this posted for sale today on marketplace and immediately sent a message! I've been looking for one for my living room. It just needs a dusting then I can hang it! It does work.

hat's the story, Wishbone?

These are so adorable, I was delighted to find them and in perfect condition. Rosanna set of four 'Tres Chic' fashion dress plates. $8 at Goodwill.

Found and regrettably left at a Kalamazoo Goodwill

Not sure what this is about but at goodwill today.

Not sure where I got this. Thought it was cool. Never used it. Was packed away until I happened upon it today.

So for context. I own and operate a thrift store. If you can think about an item... it’s come through my doors. Literally EVERYTHING, even things that *should* be single owner items (cough, cough). Well this beauty was donated today. She’s 5 foot tall and porcelain. The lady that donated her said she’s been In her home for nearly30 years and it was time to share her with someone else. I have no idea what to do with her. She heavy so using her like a mannequin would be difficult. Sell her? What the heck to I price her? I’m at a lost with this one.

Cat eye earrings, $1.80 Value Village in Houston

I foind this today at BFM in Barrie for $1! It glows similar to uranimum glass but I think it’s actually coated. Either way it’s pretty and sitting in my uranium collection now

Found this gem at a goodwill in Edmonton today

Still looking for a chicken, but it's a start. Pen for scale.

Found this at goodwill. Never seen a lamp like this. Now I have to figure out how to style it.

For sale on my local fb marketplace 💀 I would love to see how this is repurposed!

I found this at a swap meet and bought it about two months ago. Posted it got some great comments and for some reason I can’t see any of them.
I am wanting to sell it and would like to see what I should call it and about what price I should ask. I wanted to build a stand but it weighs about 90 pounds so everything I’ve tried to build has collapsed. 
I’m not trying to sell it through this site. Just any information would be helpful. Thank you.

20 plus years ago I worked in an industrial laundry. Towards the end of my employment I got moved to the place that sorted laundry from area hotels and motels. We could keep whatever came through that wasn't laundry and I became very quick at grabbing. One of my favorite things was this bunny. It doesn't have any tags so I don't know who made it but I love it.

A fire hydrant cookie jar with doctor things on it…

Perfection

His goofy smile proved irresistible

I found this at goodwill today in PAPILLION Nebraska. It came home with us for sure. My mom had these in red and I sure wish I had them

Got a pair of these for $5.00 each. Antique jack stands.

New with tags among toys. Intel Bunny People were made in multiple sizes in 1997 to commemorate the release of the MMX multimedia extensions in the Pentium II processor and its accompanying Super Bowl ad campaign. I had a 4” keychain in the past. There also exist 8” versions. This, however, is closer to 13-14”. I have it now.

It definitely came home with me.

Not so much weird, just me trying to figure out where it is from. I did Google lense and all it shows is more skeleton keys
*so we have found a key 95% like this one thanks to a member. It's a skyrim key (video game) but still can't find this exact key

One of the most unusual things I’ve seen donated to the resale store where I volunteer. Some kind of off kilter, handmade vase(?) adorned with fish.

Found this toddler size clown at thift store and decided to "surprise" my 21 yr after long day at work. She was not amused finding it in bathroom at almost midnight

My fabulous 50 cent garage sale find!

I don't know what this is, but I know you all can help me. It was in the junk pile.

Found at a Goodwill in Indy. curious if anyone knows the artist. M Church. Google had their other paintings but haven’t been able to find anything in this one. Has certification on the back.

This was declined in the other group for some reason, but I really needed to share this jumbo size Barney find…

this is my beloved gorilla suit. (well, not mine). i didn’t see it, my partner did, and he didn’t tell me about it until we got home. i mourn this find daily

The needles are super long (pear for scale) and one has double eyes? Are those flat things some kind of stitching tool?

Love, Worry, Laugh. That's my personal motto. Found and left at Savers in Rocky River, Ohio.
