They absolutely love sharing the weirdest and coolest things they’ve stumbled upon during their adventures, and the photos are wonderful.

I Started Collecting Vintage Swag Lights While They Were Considered 70s Trash. Picking Them Up At Garage Sales For Practicality Nothing. It Seemed Like Overnight They Became Highly Collectible
I Found This Free At An Auction - No One Wanted It And So It Was Being Thrown Out. I Took It Home And Re- Painted It
My Copy Of Pride And Prejudice That I Found At A Used Book Store! It’s So Beautiful And In Really Great Condition Too. It Was A Gift To Someone In 1899!
Apart from the story written by Jane Austen this copy now has a story of its own. I don't know if it stayed with one family or changed many hands since 1899 but it would be an interesting thing to know.
The ‘Weird (and Wonderful) Secondhand Finds That Just Need To Be Shared’ Facebook group was first created as a way for the founders to share wacky secondhand finds with their family and friends. It was first meant to work like a photo archive or “some sort of strange museum.”
However, the community soon took off, and the founders began welcoming more and more members into the group. Everyone’s encouraged to share pics of “odd, unusual, and wonderful pieces” that they come across while “thrifting, visiting yard sales, estate sales, antique stores,” and elsewhere.

I Found This Wonderful Hutch At A Yard Sale This Past Weekend
The community is incredibly active, and the fun thing is that you don’t actually have to buy the cool or bizarre stuff you found to share a picture of it on the group. If you come across something that you feel will make people’s day, take a snap, and post it! If the moderator and administrator team feels like your pic’s a good match for the community, they’ll approve it.
However, due to the popularity of the group, far from every photo will get the green light. Don’t feel discouraged if your find doesn’t end up getting featured. “Just keep hunting for something new to post in the future,” the team running the community writes.

Because the volume of messages and posts that the team gets is humongous, the mods and admins are no longer informing people about why their posts have been declined. You can read the detailed posting guidelines in detail right over here. The rules are rather lengthy, but they help maintain the quality and digital health of the Facebook group.
Community members are also asked to be polite, courteous, and to keep their comments appropriate. What’s more, they’re asked not to engage with spammers and trolls. Facebook users are expected to understand that this is a place for “lighthearted fun and shenanigans.” If you’re ever in doubt about how (not) to behave, err on the side of kindness.
Best Garage Sale Find Ever!
Snagged These From A Yard Sale!
My Grandmother Passed Away Recently (It Was Quiet And Painless At 92) And I Am Inheriting This Absolute Masterpiece Frog. My Mom Doesn’t Get Why I Want Him But I Think This Group Will Appreciate
During a previous interview, Bored Panda learned about the roots of the ‘Weird (and Wonderful) Secondhand Finds That Just Need To Be Shared’ group.
“My family and friends have always had a love and passion for interesting and unusual things, and we had been texting each other photos of items that we saw (and often purchased) in thrift stores and at yard sales for years,” one of the group’s co-founders told us a few years ago.

Found These Little Besties At A Thrift Store On A Military Base In Okinawa Japan
“My best friend and I were chatting on Christmas Eve one year and it occurred to us that it might be more fun to share our photos in a Facebook group, rather than via text so that it would be easier to go back and see what each of us had found, and to have a record of what we had seen through the years,” the co-founder told us.
“It really all started as a gathering place intended for our friends and family but we left it as an open group purely because it never occurred to us that anyone outside of our circle would share this odd interest we have.”
I Had Bought My Mother A Silhouette Lamp For Her Birthday When I Was In My Teens. I’ve Been Thrifting Forever. The Lamp Got Lost In The Fire And I Swore I Would Find One Again, And, If I Could Afford It, I Would Buy One Again. Today, We Met Again!

Brought This Matted Print Home From A Fundraising Garage Sale And My Husband Thinks It’s The Greatest Thing Ever
Eventually, word about the group spread. “I panicked for a moment but then I thought, ‘Heck, it will be intriguing to see what other people have to share. Why not?’ Originally, we expected to have about a dozen members; when strangers started joining, we thought maybe we’d get to a hundred. Now, three years later, we’re approaching the two million-member mark!" they shared with Bored Panda before.
“Who knew that what we all thought was a niche hobby actually has a huge passionate community behind it that just needed a clubhouse to gather in? Witnessing how people connect in this group is what keeps us passionate about running it. I personally put between thirty and forty hours a week into moderating the group but every time I see how much joy it brings people, I’m reminded why it’s worth doing all the work it takes.”
I Have Been Searching For This Exact Ring For Over 20 Years! Finally Found On Ebay! Pictured Are The Ring Today And My Favorite Picture Of My Dad.
Every Few Months For The Last 16 Years Of Ebay Shopping, I Would Search For "White Gold Garnet Or Ruby Ring" And Every Variation Of Wording. My Grandma Bell Gave Me The Original Ring When I Was 13. It Was Too Large So My Dad Took It To The Jewelers To Have It Cleaned And It Was Resized. In The Time The Ring Was In The Shop, My Dad Passed Away Very Suddenly From A Brain Aneurysm. He Was 39 Years Old. I Got It Back The Day Of His Funeral. I Loved The Ring. It Had So Much Meaning For Me. Somehow I Lost That Ring When I Was 17. I'm Now 40. I've Literally Been Searching For This Ring For Over Half My Life! It's Even My Size Already, 5-3/4 So It Was Obviously Sized At Some Point. Makes Me Wonder If It Is My Actual Ring!
Okay Guys So This Is A Fun One. When I Was A Kid I Had This Exact Cat Blanket And I Haven’t Seen It In Years. I Loved It!
These Were All Found At Flea Markets And Estate Sales. I Finally Committed To Painting Them
The co-founder of the group praised the community for how supportive the members are of each other. “When someone mentions having a bad day, or being ill, or just needing a bit of a morale boost, the community comes out in droves to offer support. We constantly see members lifting each other up, sending each other gifts, and enthusiastically embracing each other's quirks on a daily basis.”

Found The Vintage Mirror Of My Dreams Recently On Fb Marketplace. I've Been Searching For One Like This For Years And I'm So Obsessed
It's Around 4 1/2 Feet Tall, And There's A Date Written On The The Back Of It- January 1964. I Keep Finding Myself Staring At It And Wondering Where It’s Been And Who’s Looked Into It. Definitely Going To Treasure This For The Rest Of My Life
It looks so beautiful. It's a shame I have seen too many horror movies to ensure I'll never pick these things!
Meanwhile, another side-effect the community had was that it sparked and renewed an interest in secondhand shopping for quite a few people. “They’re starting to see secondhand stores in a different light. We hear all the time from members who haven’t been thrifting in a long time or have never really been interested in it, and now can’t wait to go out treasure hunting,” the co-founder said. “It’s truly beautiful to see people celebrating their weird with fervor.”

Recently, Bored Panda covered how inflation is changing people’s approach to shopping for clothes. More people are cutting back on costs wherever they can, so naturally, they’re eyeing lower-priced items in places like secondhand stores.
However, secondhand shopping isn’t just great for your wallet. More ecologically-minded shoppers will tell you that it’s a great way to fight for a more sustainable lifestyle. Especially when it comes to clothing.

The fashion industry is responsible for around a tenth of the total carbon emissions on our planet. Moreover, 85% of all textiles are thrown away each year, according to the UNECE’s 2018 report. The global apparel market was worth around 1.5 trillion dollars in 2021, according to Statista. By 2026, it’s predicted to grow to a whopping 2 trillion dollars. With this in mind, secondhand shopping and reselling clothes become vital parts of a more sustainable Earth.

A note for you: If you buy antique electronics do NOT under any circumstances plug them in until they are gone through by someone qualified to service tube equipment. Waxed-paper type capacitors tend to turn into resistors over time (allowing current through rather than blocking it) and can cause irreparable damage. Also, beware of "hot-chassis" designs and non-polarized plugs.

I Was Walking Through The Virginia Beach Goodwill Yesterday And Spied A Bag Full Of What I Thought Were Cool Wooden Blocks. For 6.75$
I Grabbed It. I Am So Surprised To See It Is A Super Cool Village Made By The Cat's Meow. There Are Town Pieces Like A Church, Police Department, Veterinarian, And A Book Store. There Are Houses Like The Painted Ladies. There Are Nursery Rhyme Pieces Like Peter Pumpkin And The Old Lady Who Lived In A Shoe. I Have 6 Light House Replicas. Plus A Town Statue, A School Bus, A Fire Truck, A A Sail Boat.
Those were very collectible in the '80s. There should be a black cat somewhere on every piece.

My Parents Bought This Rocker At A Thrift Store About 40+ Years Ago For Around $50 Somewhere In Michigan. I Just Recently Recovered It From My Fathers Attic In Louisiana Where It's Been Sitting For The Past 25+ Years And Brought It Back To Indiana With Me
Sounds like you might want to get it appraised. $50 used from 40 years ago is certainly worth much more today. Might want to put it on your insurance.

No Thank You. Left Behind In An Antique Store In Pawling, NY
I Saw This Piece Across A Crowded Marketplace And I Knew I Had To Have It. It's A Three-Piece Set Made From Majolica Ware Embellished With Gold, And Has A German Clock Built In That Has A Winding Mechanism. I Think It Was Likely Made In The 1910s (Dated 18 On The Back) And It Says Belgium, And Nothing Else. I Think It Was Likely An Afforable Sideboard Filler For A Dog And Flower Lover, Which Suits Me To A Tee. I Have Three Greyhounds, And Although This Looks More Like A Shepherd, I Think It's Great And Will Fit Right In
Probably a Malinois - Belgian Shepherd. They weigh less and are built for agility for herding the sheep.
When I Brought It Home, Filled With Nasty Oil, Bugs, And Lots Of Nicotine Stains
It Was Untested So I Wasn’t Sure If It Would Work. 4 Hours Of Cleaning Later And It Looks Beautiful! I Ran The Pump And I’m Sure It Will Work Once I Get Some Mineral Oil And A New Bulb For It

What I love about these stories is that it shows how secondhand shops cater to so many different styles and tastes. If your style is not on trend... Even better! Probably means you can find the things you like even cheaper! I think that at least half of my furniture is thrifted/pre-loved, and it makes me appreciate it so much more
Everybody else "great antiques, wonderful find". Me.... "Possessed by demons, definitely possessed". 🤣😂😭
Once I was looking for a cool chair to go with an antique desk. I walked into an antique shop where the owner was sitting by the door. He asked if he could help me find something and I said, "Yes! Stand up." He was sitting in a great old oak desk chair that I took home for $55. Later, I had an instrument repair shop on West 39th Street in Manhattan. The Hell's Kitchen Flea Market happened every weekend, one block west of my shop. I bought a LOT of instruments there, and plenty of cool old things for myself, like two uncut sheets of Wacky Packages stickers.
