175 Of The Best Things People Found In Thrift Stores, Flea Markets And Garage Sales (New Pics)

Shopping at thrift stores is pretty exciting. You never know what you’re going to find next. Regular stores usually have generic themes and you have a basic understanding of what they offer. But with thrift stores, it’s like opening the old metal cookie box in your grandma’s attic. From a Jesus Magic 8-Ball to a sassy “grandfather” clock/shelf, Bored Panda has compiled a list of unusual thrift store finds you’d pretty much have to buy if you found them. Scroll down, enjoy, and upvote your faves.

For more similar pics, check out Bored Panda’s older collections of rare secondhand finds here, here, and here.

#6 I See The Occasional Post Where Someone Finds Their Own Art Etc, So I Guess This Is Mine. The First Photo Is Me At A Vintage/Thrift Sale On Sat, Holding A Dress. The Second Is Me, Age 16, Wearing The Exact Same Dress!

I personally hand sewed all the sequins and appliqués, for competitions in beauty pageants. When I saw it I nearly fell over. No one in my family knows how it got an hour’s drive away, after 24 years. Pretty proud though, my yee haw creation was marked at $80.

She Had Collected These Over The Years And In Amongst All The Family Dramas My Grandfather Shoved These In My Pocket And Told Me To Keep Quiet (I Was Around 9) Later Discovered That It Held All Her Saints Medals From Around Europe Etc. I’ve Always Loved Them Cause They Were Hers. No Clue Of The History That I’m Sure This Box Is Full Of, But I’m Sure It’s Amazing. She Even Had The Collection Blessed By The Pope At The Time During Her Trip To The Vatican. I’m Not Religious, But I’ll Love These Forever

#163 I Went To An Estate Sale Which I Knew Was A Distant Relative. Things Were Pretty Much Picked Over…but Then I Looked In The Back Of A Cupboard And Saw This Teacup. I Turned It Over To See Who Made It…

“To my surprise this piece of tape was on the bottom. It reads ‘From Aunt Mandy on our 25th wedding anniversary Dec 1961’, ‘Cup given to Grandma Lange’s mother on her 25th ann.’Soooo….I have a Great Aunt Mandy and my Grandma was a Lange. With a bit of research we determined that this cup was given to MY great great grandmother approx in 1868!!!”
