Tell Us The Best Score You've Gotten While Thrifting Shopping At A Thrift Store, Garage Sale, Or Facebook Marketplace

Sometimes you truly find treasures.

TikTok is full of videos of people who have scored great finds while thrifting — like this one by @melworeit, who found an Hermès Kelly Bag at her local thrift store. It turned out to be fake, but it was still a very well made bag and only cost her $20.

I saw a video about a year ago where a girl found an authentic Hermes Evelyne bag so it HAS happened before! #hermesbag #valuevillagefinds #thrifteddesignerbags #thriftstorefinds #thriftwithme #thriftfindsoftheweek

Tell Us The Best Score You've Gotten While Thrifting Shopping At A Thrift Store, Garage Sale, Or Facebook Marketplace

But it isn't just bags, people have gotten lucky and picked valuable antiques, furniture, and clothing for practically nothing while shopping second-hand. So, what I want to know is: what's the best, best find you've gotten while shopping at a thrift store, garage sale, or Facebook Marketplace?

Maybe you picked up a practically brand-new set of Le Creuset cookware at a thrift store for $30.

Perhaps you're a big toy collector and happened to find a big lot of vintage Star Wars toys at a garage sale for only a few bucks.

Or, maybe you went to an estate sale and picked up a genuine Chanel purse that is worth thousands of dollars for only $250.

Or, perhaps you were scrolling Facebook Marketplace and saw someone was moving and giving away their furniture, and you ended up picking up a real Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman that would cost you almost $7,000 at Design Within Reach.

So, tell us what was your best second-hand score in the comments below or submit anonymously using this form for a chance to be featured in a BuzzFeed Community post.
