In 2011, when I was 19 and broke, I went with my friend to a thrift shop in Brooklyn, NY. I picked up these black leather boots for less than $20. When I looked Inside of them there was a jewelry box with a gold chain. I took it to the diamond district and they gave me $1400 cash for it. With that money I packed my bags and moved to Boston, MA and got a job. I have been here since then.
Maybe it was worth much more. I think it certainly was as they paid that price right of the bat..
@@wioi Yeah I realized now I was ripped off but I also didn't earn that money or owned it. It was free money hah and I feel super bad for whoever lost it
That is a literal blessing
Meant to be
Money wisely spent.
I work for the Meridian Idaho Goodwill.
One time we received in a donation 16 new dresses, the price tags on them ranged from 1500$ - 2400$ they were pure silk handmade in Europe
And did you still put them on the floor to sell?
@@fifirio7680 yea this was 13 years ago, but they were 50 dollars a piece we price them for. Since then however Goodwill has started selling unique stuff online where the stuff is bid on.
I bet they were all size 2
@@frankiebanks7447 I remeber about half of them were size 2 some 0 some 1 some 3
I bought a black velvet winter coat with 3 big weird looking buttons at a thrift store in Coquitlam BC, I almost replaced the buttons then I realized it was Versace buttons. It is 100% Wool, Made in Italy. Very beautiful indeed.
Ever get it appraised?
@@winnifredforbes1114 Nope. I just wear it on special occasion.
@@joannavanambon Good for you. Some things are just meant to be enjoyed, rather than enshrined.
When I was 18 yrs old, I "picked up" a 28-year-old, hot, blonde, Swedish lady, 30 years later, we have a home near Lake Tahoe and 3 beautiful, adult daughters....best 'find' yet!
You met her in a thrift store? Hmm.. the produce section has been kinda slow lately at Kroger.. maybe I'll try Goodwill instead.
She’s 10 yrs older that you? Not judging, just making sure
Wha-
@@dinh6327 Yep...still ;) Starting dating her when I was 18 and she was 28. Having our 30th Anniv. this Oct. :)
@@treborironwolfe978 LOL>..no, I did not... I embellished for the current video topic. lol
One time a lady came into my mom's music store with a clarinet she had purchased from a thrift store for about 20 bucks. It was a little beat up, so she wanted to see if it could be refurbished. My mom's initial reaction was something along the lines of "you'll be lucky if this can make any sound at all. $20 isn't even enough to get you a clarinet-shaped object, let alone something that's actually playable." But the customer insisted they at least check it over. So Mom called over the repair guy to see if it could be salvaged. It turned out that the clarinet was a really high-quality instrument worth over $1000. After a thorough cleaning, replacing a couple degraded parts and giving it a nice polish, the clarinet was tested by a local clarinet teacher, who found it to be capable of producing some of the most beautiful sounds she'd ever heard. The lady that bought it decided to take clarinet lessons that very day.
Just bought two Tiffany & Co candlesticks at a yard sale for $3, each. I also spent $50.00 on two Hooker chairs and a small Hitchcock side table. The table is worth about $600.
Apparently these private sales are the only places to “accidentally” find anything of value
Goodwill prices are outrageous now, they was selling candle holders, from the Dollar Tree store, which they are one dollar, for 2.99 I was like wtf!!!!
I quit going to goodwill, prices are to high, especially when they make 💯 profit!!The CEO’s are millionaires...
They started comparing prices and looking online No longer can you find a hidden treasure very easily there
@The Real Gordon Ramsay if you can't understand it,then you are the one with the problem !! Everyone's else understand it just fine !!!!!
@The Real Gordon Ramsay Get a life ,stop trolling the comments section, so you can feel important or relevant or what ever this trolling make you feel .enough said I already give you my time, time is up!!!!!
Yeah, I loath them now.
Greedy creeps
I found an extra large sized, red leather Gucci Hobo bag at a thrift store for $125. I bought it because it was beautiful to me. It turns out to be worth $1500.
I also bought a vintage Chanel ceramic necklace for $2.99. It is worth $1300.
I love the history of fashion and do not plan on selling them. I am handing these items down to my daughter.
A lot of items like those increase in value over time so take good care of them and pass them down!!
@@mkay2925 I sure will. Thanks!
So nice.
@@bonitahobbs2097 thank you so much. ☺️
I had a friend who actually bought his great grandfather's old world war 1 foot locker at a thrift store for 5u$d but inside was sentimental family heirlooms not valuable to anyone else but as it was his great grandfather's it was priceless to him and his new family
We found a pile of Marvel comics in a bin at a Goodwill. We paid $1.00 each for 200 comics. We later sold them for $3,800.00.
I once picked up a ceramic clown statue at a flea market for $5. My grandpa had a vast clown collection so I figured he would like it since it was in a similar style to other pieces he had. Once I gave it to him, he realized it was genuine (I don’t recall the artist that made them) worth about $3-5k. I was like wow 😳
I’m a photographer who has always loved Ansel Adams’ photographic images, so the moment I saw the glass slides, I immediately thought, “Those look strikingly like Ansel Adams’ work!”….. 💯 Nailed it! 😁
When I saw the shots of Yosemite, I figured they would turn out to have been shot by Adams. What a staggering find.
That Ansel Adams clip was amazing. I love his work. That was a really awesome find!
I purchased what I thought was a paint by number at a garage sale. I found it in an old box in my garage years later. Turns out it was a William Leigh. Not sure what it's worth but he was a brilliant artist.
300k
I bought some 14k gold bangles at a Salvation Army store once for $1 each. People die and the families want to sell the house quickly so they have the house emptied and donate all the contents without checking for valuable items.
Now Goodwill takes anything remotely valuable out and auctions them.
I found a diamond tennis bracelet at a garage sale. It was among the junk jewelry and had a price tag of $1.25. I opened the clasp to find 14k stamped inside
I went to a barn sale and bought an odd looking vase. I had it sitting in my kitchen sink for the longest, unprotected. I finally decided to wrap it and put it away.I went on line one day and googled it.It turned out to be a Jean Cacteau face vase. He worked along side Picasso. I took it for appraisal and I was told it was worth over 1,000.00 dollars! Not bad for a couple of bucks!
I've found some gems in thrift stores, Salvation army stores, flea markets and yard sales. Paid a few dollars and they were worth hundreds. Still hoping to find a million dollar treasure. I'll be hitting them after the pandemic is over.
I found a Fornasetti Milano ash tray for a $1.50. It sold for over $80. A pair of Alligator Larry Mahan cowboy boots for $3 which sold for $220. Not a fortune but great.
At a local thrift shop I found a copy of the DURAN DURAN board game, intact with all its mini discs in near mint shape. I bought it for under one dollar and sold it for about eighty. Not a fortune but definitely a nice turnaround.
I’ve refused to shop at or donate to Salvation Army, ever since my family & I were robbed/burgled of everything we owned. We had 3 small children, and had moved a long distance. Everything we had was in a uhaul, when we spent the night at a motel because our apartment wasn’t ready. The uhaul was stolen; we had nothing but the clothes on our backs, literally. We were told by a relief agency Salvation Army would help us, at least with basic items. We went to them, and they said they wouldn’t help, but we were welcome to purchase from them. Everything was seriously overpriced, for example a battered, peeling, used teflon frying pan was priced higher than a new one would’ve been.
I have picked a bvlgari watch that’s worth $4,000 for only $1.99 Tiffany & Co necklace for only .75 cents among other precious things.
At an estate sale there was a $40 purse. I chose to buy cloth for sewing and a kitchen pan instead. Turns out, Ferragamo purses are worth thousands. That would’ve gotten me a lot of kitchen utensils!
Bought a Louie vuitton woven tote for 2 dollars found out It was worth 2180
Now that’s a great find at a thrift store
Best I've managed is a gold necklace and earrings set. Paid $7.00 AUD for it and when I got home, did some research based on the tags and bar code on the box. Turned out to be a $450 AUD set released only the year before. I keep it safely out of sight unless I'm wearing it to a special event.
Not worth enough to even wear 🤦♂️
Multiple boxes of Eberhard Faber Black Wing pencils with clip in erasers. Machine that fabricated the unique clip in erasers broke and the company chose not to fix it, instead switching to the now known pencil eraser. Bought for $2 at our community thrift shop a couple of years ago. Worth approximately $2,500 today. Notable writers and composers who used these pencils exclusively...Steinbeck, Hemingway, Copeland and Quincy Jones, to name a few
Oh god, I love Black Wings
To the beautiful person scrolling the messages i wish you a great day and a blessing year.

Oh,k....
A broch similar to the pink one showed here.
Got it at a flea market...for 5 dollars.
It turns,being a 14kt.huge amethist stone with sea pearls..
Grandfather helped a guy clean out his garage in the 1930's for $5. They got to the back of the garage and there was a complete queen size bed. The guy was going to burn it but grandfather asked for it instead of the $5. My grandmother slept on the bed to the day she passed in the 1990's. That bed is still in the family and was made before George Washington was born.
Last year, I was out thrifting and a framed print caught my eye. It was bright colors and nicely framed. I purchase it for $2.99. I knew that it was special and did some research. Turns out that it was a signed print by the nun Pop artist Corita Kent. I sold it on Ebay for approximately $1600. Happy to have made the profit. And happy to get it to someone who will take good care of it :)
I once bought a ALF doll from salvation army for .50$ USD , Then sold it on Ebay for 67.00$USD . nice profit .
I bought an Annie Klein watch set for $16 on EBay and it is worth for at least $126. It is beautiful and fine quality white ceramic. It also has several goldtone rhinestone necklaces in a white beat up case. And it still works.
In a storage unit I found game worn 1989 World Series jerseys. It includes every player from both teams. It came with authentication already with from PSA. In this unit was over 5,000 graded autographs, 600+balls 500 complete sets of baseball cards from 02-14 including a 1000+ Trout rookies with 35 autograph rookies of Trout. I attempted to find out who it belonged to. It turned out to be a guy with no kids and no close family who spent everything he had on Baseball, he was a season ticket holder to both the Giants and the A's. Sadly he got in accident and passed on.
We have sold nothing and don't plan on it anytime soon as we have two young children who we wish to leave it to.
Good that your handing it all down to your children❤ Some people won't do that because of greed!
You have 35 rookie autograph Mike trout cards, can you show a couple of pictures of them?I am Curious about the cards thank you.
Wow, the Earthquake Series, and a shrine to Mike Trout. What you have is way more valuable than the average card shop has in stock. I used to work for a liquidator of sports collectibles, and I would have nearly passed out if I had seen what you found inside that unit. I hope you have everything in climate-controlled storage, and insured.
These stories make me so jealous 😏😣
And where does the dude with the paint in the attic live?
In an attic storage area above an old garage, I found several 1948 Bowman baseball cards in perfect condition, inside an old wooden box. I sold them privately for about $1,500. I also once bought a Richard Miller office chair worth about $750 for $20 at a garage sale.
I picked up a cheap seashell Collection. Turns out it was from hundreds of years ago. half the original scientistt collection was donated to a museum that was ransacked after ww1 in europe. I have the other half of his collection. Full of extinct snails, with dated data of where it was found.
Wow! That's amazing.
It would be funny is some of the people watching this video were some of the people who donated the same items to goodwill and now watching what they were really worth.
This video makes me want to go to the thrift shop and look around
Late but Count me in
I love looking for stuff to salvage at thrift stores, but finding something as valuable as these things is about as unlikely as winning the Publisher's Clearing House prize. These are truly amazing!
Not true
@@danitzajnb oh, well, if you say so.
I bought 2 paintings for 3 dollars each and now are worth over 100k each.
lol you know PCH is a scam and always has been
My dad loves antiques ,so one his friend told that she has a lot of junk to throw away ,so my dad found there a nice painting ,he carried home ...cleaned and checked ...now its in the bank cause it worth more than 100 000 $)For someone its a junk, for others its a treasure)
I bought the comic book She Hulk #40 in 9.8 condition for 85 cents and sold it to a comic book store for $92. It was worth about $200 but I was happy with the profit I made.
What I want to know is why is everything so expensive in these thrift stores? 20-40$ is a bit pricey for a thrift store. But it’s all well worth it now.
And they received all the items for free.
Goodwill is the highest priced thrift store. 💯 profit! CEO’s are greedy people!
Some thrift stores sell new items for more than at regular stores. I hate greed. And especially when they put price tags over top of chips and cracks.
They Google everything now. That's why they price things high.
@@anitanapp6759 Actually Goodwill is a not-for-profit organization. All profit goes back into the business, which runs programs that help people get (back to) work 🤗
I picked up a dirty headboard and footboard for $40 that after cleaning had some spectacular figuring in the wood and was excellent quality . Turns out its a endangered brazilian wood, worth around &3000
OMG I COULD NOT DEAL WITH THE WAY HE PRONOUNCED BROACH "BROOCH" AHHHHH
Millennials do not have even the most basic vocabulary. They murder unfamiliar words.
I was wondering if anyone else heard that and only scrolled these to see what was said.
and
They even murder familiar words, like the current trend to mispronounce words with the letter 'T' or TT
😆
Only thing I found that was really valuable wasn't in a store but was on the side of the road $50,000.00 tool it was a GPS for measuring highways surveying tool I didn't didnt even know what it was I started calling surveying company's and asked if they had lost it I ended up finding the company that had left it they gave me 2000.00 for returning it
😱
Only thing I ever found like that was $200 in crack cocaine. I was like 12 years old so I sold it for $80.
@@shawn2789 I would have smoked it! Just kidding, lol not really.....
A friend volunteered at a thrift store. Told her if she finds a black and brown purse let me know. She bought and gave it to me. It wasn't my style but thanked her for it. I always go through the pockets etc. jic theres something in it.,apparently they didn't and neither did she. Found a pen,a pad and a bank envelope with 800.00. Because I didnt feel right keeping it,bc it mightve belonged to someone and I was honest,they only wanted 1/2 back. It was a good Christmas that year.
I once bought a solid sterling silver dressing set for £5 and sold it for £175 and I thought THAT was good 😂🤯
I paid $1 for a pair of earrings and a bracelet that were in a small plastic zip bag marked sterling at a yard sale. The earrings were sterling, the bracelet was a 14k gold Michael Anthony piece. Nice surprise!
Was the Bracelet white gold?
@@arthurmorgan9559 No, yellow gold. The sterling earrings were gold plated, so I just assumed the bracelet was gold-plated sterling too.
I found a 1956 Elvis Presley cardboard shoebox at a yard sale Sold on Ebay 1600$. True story!!!
At an estate sale there was a large basket filled with small baskets. They looked like Longaberger baskets. I paid $25 for all of them. I purchased twenty Longaberger baskets. The cheapest one sells for $55.
My sis bought a 2 dollars wallet at the thrift store and it had a 750 dollar diamond ring in it

I live in China. Any advice on what I should search for?
I have bought 2 original copies of Zane greys books from the beginning of 1900. Just the history behind them is amazing. Together cost me under 20 some of the copies in worse shape are selling for over $200.
When me and my friends went thrift shopping I found a Kate spade wallet for only $18 I didn’t know at the time what kate spade was but I still bought later learning that it cost $100-200

My plumber told me of a customer of his. This lady would buy original paintings by a young artist she liked. Her walls are covered with these original paintings - by Thomas Kincade! His original oils go for 5 - 6 figures. I told him to have her get them appraised - her retirement is hanging on her walls!!!
Thomas kinkade was a fake he didn't even paint those pictures he had someone else paint them and then he'd come along and he would put a little dot on them or something and sign his name to them he was smart he figured out how he can make lots of money on paintings he didn't even paint.
Sure hope they are insured and correctly identified by expert!
It's a tie between him and Bob Ross for ugly art.

the magic is in the possibility. not to mention all the very useful value priced stuff that you find along the way. never stop looking!!!!
I was thinking of stopping by Goodwill today. After this video, you bet I will!
You'll find a bunch of Champion t-shirts, a few pairs of Rustler jeans, and a print of the old man praying over his bowl of soup. Goodwill is not what it used to be.
Now, if it’s even remotely valuable or unusual, Goodwill auctions it off instead of keeping anything of value in their stores.
I haven't had a car for about 2 years and I'm absolutely dying to get out and about since I generally have pretty good luck with finding neat things. My son won't take me because he thinks it's an exercise in costly futility, so I think I'll have him watch this!! ONWARD TO THRIFTING!!
I did just buy a bottle of Christian Dior perfume still in box for $15. Came home looked up Amazon has it at $125
After picking up a $200 dollar pair of boots for 12.99 I am painstakingly sewing together the 8 dollar dress whose skirt I cut off because I found it was a one of a kind dress made for Maria Debicka and I’m dying rn
I love the thrift store. I have a couple of tea pots that I paid $4 each and one is worth $60 and the other one $75, not alot but I love them. I bought four panels with blue and white oriential style solders on horses with some writing on them for $5 each and I can't find out anything about them. Got them just before the world went crazy and have them in my "junk room", but I love them no matter what they are worth.
Sounds like me...if I love it I'm getting it and displaying whatever it is and dusting the heck out of it (nothing "dust catchers" my son claims!).
I bought a old Levi jacket one pocket circa 1940's I sold it for $3500. I used to find tons of vintage clothing at Goodwill I think now it never makes it to the floor
I agree. I wonder if these employees got smart and started looking things up and buying it for themselves to resell for profit
I think most of the best stuff makes it to the floor. People are too Savvy now with all the information available online.

I worked at a Goodwill and the clothes items that are old or had holes in them did not go out on the floor, they went into a machine that compresses them, then are boxed and gets thrown away.
They sell the good stuff online. This is a FOR profit institution.
I found a bag of real meteorites!
No joke! Best $1.50 I ever spent!
The album shown when he's talking about The Velvet Underground is actually The Grateful Dead's first album.
bought a wedgewood egg coddler at an auction for 2 bucks. sold it to a collector for 150 bucks. my better half bought a set of drums for 50 bucks and sold them for 1000 bucks.
I went to a neighbors garage sale. His wife went to a home with dementia and he had to sell most everything & the house to pay her medical bills. She had bought so much stuff he had no idea they had. On the last day I went back & he gave me a bunch of unopened videos. One set of 8-10 CD’s I never heard of. I researched them on eBay and sold them there for almost $300 for the set! I was so surprised! I also watched all the seasons on Netflix, (the same videos) not a bad Australian drama.
If he was your neighbour, and you knew that he had to sell all his possesions - even his house to pay her medical bills - how could you not give him the $300., especially when he GAVE them to you for free!
The old adage that you need to strike when the iron is hot is so true. I bought two purses made by the same designer a few yrs back and looked them up on Ebay. They were hand tooled leather front and back and I paid 10.00 for each bag. When I took them up to the register to pay, I showed the shoppe owner what each bag's value was....Ebay showed them for 499.95 each. Of course now, they are worth less then 500.00 but I'm not sure how much less.
She was quite amusing and asked if I had planned on buying both purses...,i said of course. She was not happy for herself but was happy for me because I shop at her store quite often. I should have sold them right I bought them but they were too pretty to part with.
NEVER tell a vendor what their stuff is actually worth, you ruin it for other bargain-hunters. Any retailer who doesn't perform their own due diligence and realize the actual value of their merchandise, that's too bad for them, and very good for the rest of us.
I found a wooden 3 peace room divider selling for $350 online at a Goodwill for $25! 😊
A long time ago my dad saw what looked like just a metal box for 6$ at good will but it was actually was a 2000$ Nikon film scanner but no one knew what it was except for my dad
My husband always said,why go into that store they know what they have. Wrong!! I once bought a toothpick holder in Vaseline glass for .99. I sold to another dealer for $25.00. I was happy to sell before broken. The other dealer put $145.00 on it. Okay with me, because we sold cheap stuff and I would have never gotten that price.Long before the Internet.
We live in a 1950's built home, and when we did a bathroom remodel in the basement, inside the walls we found a vintage looking wooden tripod thing...wasn't sure if it was for a camera or a painting easel. The brand name on it was no longer readable, so I started a search online by just describing it. Fingers crossed it could be something valuable, but alas...found a few of them on ebay for a whopping $5 - $20. It's gathering dust in our garage now. 😂 😂 😂
Hey, you NEVER KNOW!!
I found a pair of $600 Oakley snowboard goggles with a go pro. I was working at a thrift store warehouse. They even said I could have cause it was about to go into a landfill. They had no idea what they had.
I bought a cute little painting/photo of a weeping willow at a book sale for ten cents. The glass and frame were dirty and greasy. I cleaned them up and brought them to an antique dealer. He said it was worth about $150. That was forty years ago. It was a Wallace Nutting.
When I saw the teapot, I immediately recognized the palm tree design of South Carolina, because I’m there right at this moment on vacation
I was at a state sale with my dad, and my dad saw pac man key chain and he got it for me, so I put it on my backpack for about 1 year, and then I thought it might be valuable so I looked into it, and it dates back to 1981 and it sold for $8,000 dollars🙃
My daughter bought a nice handbag for 5.00. She gave it to me and I decided to check it on line worth 2, 500. I kept it. My cousin bought a 7.00 Goodwill watch, took to jeweler it was 3, 500 value. She kept it.
I went to a thrift store called Value Village and bought a "Louis Vuitton" bag for 650$ and found out it was a fake and earned myself a whopping negative 650$ !!! My bag of disappointment is currently on display in my closet where no one can see it! Would love to give a shout out to the thrift store for the robbery of my hard earned money!! Quite ironic, usually people are caught stealing from thrift stores but this one stole from me!!
I hate Value Village. It's all junk. I think the employees keep the good stuff for themselves.
@@YoBoyMarcus If found some cute clothes but I definitely agree with you, the valuable stuff probably gets taken by workers before making it out!!
ur not too bright , u bought it...
lol i bought a cord there for 1.50 once, it was ok
$650
I purchased a 1967 ladies timex watch for 99 cents the other day and its selling on eBay for $780.00.
Selling as in sold? or just listed.
Been for sale probably forever with firm on price..and still not sold lol. Timex are not that great
Last year I had to go to a wedding and decided to go to Goodwill to look for a dress (I didn't want to spend a lot of money for a dress I would wear just once. ) I didn't know anything about it when I bought it other than it was vintage. When I googled the designer it was a 1970s or early 1980s dress. I decided to keep it. Who knows, it might just be worth more than the $4.99 I paid for it.
I hate these "thrift" stores. They used to have great prices. Now, they want to sell stuff as if it were new; especially "good 'ol" Salvation Army or Goodwill. Hardly buy stuff there anymore. They rip you off!
When i was going to a goodwill to donate some old junk i found an authentic Hermes Birkin Hand Bag
Omg
What?
Wow
I once found a bracelet a thrift store that was dirty I thought it was silver so I cleaned it up it was a 14-karat gold gold bracelet from 1911 worth $2,500 I brought it for a dollar fifty..
I found a still sealed copy of the Rhinestone Cowboy soundtrack (a rarity) for $2 at Goodwill. I sold it later for $250 a few years later.

Goodwill auctions off anything even remotely of any value these days.
Novelty and comedy LPs are some the best finds you can locate at thrift stores.

Best thing I’ve found was some Lucille Ball drawings from a garage sale for $25 for two drawings and a plaque. One of the drawing was from Gary Sadderup which he’s selling for about $125 it’s currently hanging in my parents living room
I bought a canvas print for $5 at a thrift store and it turned out to be worth $450
In March of 1998 someone got lucky by buying a box of Barbie and accessories at a yardsale. I had just had my first daughter and my Dad, with all confusion sold it. Not knowing that's where my mom had hid her diamond wedding ring from her 1st marriage. The box wasn't suppose to be sold.
Damn that sucks

Amazing fact: Your heart beats 100,000 times a day, 35 million times a year. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than three billion times. ❤

history...those adams pictures are the greatest find...in the history of art

I LOVE glass plate negatives!!! They are more than often positives though. I used to work as a photographer and had a customer that frecvently came by with glass plates from the late 1800's to have them photographed into a digital format. They are so f**kingly detailed!!! Love A. Adams too... :)
Paid £20 for old Persian Carpet....I sold it later for £11,500.

How many of these folks friends and neighbors started going crazy ransacking their attics, garages or yard sales etc. hoping to find "treasure" too 🤣
I found an autograph book from the 60s in a corduroy jacket pocket. Had a Woodstock ticket and 6 signatures. Jimi Hendrix was one of the autos. I got the whole thing in the paper. I still have it
Have you had it valued?
