I love thrift shopping, it's a pretty good time. Yeah, it can be gross and every thrift shop ever has the same smell, but every once and a while you find something that is super cool or, if you're lucky, secretly expensive.
But, think of this. The hunt for cool things that are more than they appear doesn't have to be limited to thrift shops...the whole world could be a thrift shop if you wanted it to be. The world is full of strange things.
Shows you how much I know. I've added a new aspiration to my bucket list: get a key to a city.
It's a vintage can from somewhere between 1964–1972 and it is still unopened! I bet there aren't too many of those around.
Then you see that it's signed! By this band that you love! Talk about a jackpot.
So, the person who bought these paid $75 for them and I thought that was pricey. Turns out that they're worth $1,000 or more! That is absolutely insane! Talk about a steal.
Yeah, like actually Elvis, not an impersonator.
This person did all the right things, and I have to say I'm jealous I didn't find it first.
According to the makers of the champagne, this would've been sold to allied troops in France or England. It was bottled in 1943.
This belonged to Dr. William DeVries, the lead surgeon on the first artificial heart transplant in 1982.
Everything inside it is hand-carved and hand-painted, and it probably took a great deal of time and talent.
That's so cute. I would love to find something like this.
I'm no expert, but I feel like this may be worth a bit more than $1.
That is some seriously expensive cookware.
It was made by a blacksmith. I'm actually in awe of how much this actually looks like a hotdog! He got the texture perfectly right.
It kind of sounds silly, but it's a neat idea...I guess this is how people used to get their perfume samples! How do you open them without breaking them?
So, when you put it under a UV light it glows this weird swamp monster green! I'm not gonna lie, I'm into it.
The fact that the person who bought this paid FIFTY CENTS for it is just unreal. They're heavy and maybe not that rare, but I would've taken this deal.
Coins are so interesting, there is always so much history attached to them. It's hard to know what you have at first glance.
You would be a fool not to take it! I don't know what you would use it for, but still.
But it has way more to it than that! It also holds your toilet paper, making it the perfect bathroom accessory.
If it's made of silver and authentic, it's probably going to make some delicious coffee and be worth a bit of money. But not that it always matters.
Finding four four-leaf clovers is lucky, right? I wonder what happened to the person who collected them.
What a neat piece of history to have and for only $1.25. I hope that this book continues to make someone really happy.
I know so many people who would be so over the moon with this, it's bananas. Especially if they could find some games for it.
Almost like it hasn't been used. Whoever grabs this is one smart, soon-to-be snappy dresser.
