50 Times People Hit The Jackpot When It Came To Secondhand Finds, Shared On This Online Group
Even though hunting for secondhand goods has changed radically over the past year, people’s love for thrift stores and all the treasures that lie there is still burning strong. And the proof is in the pudding—or, rather, this list.
The ‘Thrift Store Hauls’ subreddit is a massive online community with a whopping 1.6 million members. Active since August of 2011, r/ThriftStoreHauls has been drawing in lovers of secondhand things ever since. We’ve collected some of the best pics of interesting, cool, bizarre, and jaw-droppingly nifty finds they’ve featured for you to enjoy. As you’re scrolling down, give the pics that impressed you an upvote, and think about the most awesome things you’ve ever brought back home from a secondhand bargain hunt—we’d love to hear all about your secondhand hauls, dear Readers.
The founder of r/ThriftStoreHauls told Bored Panda that they started the community because, at the time, there were no strong subreddits dedicated to thrifting. "I wanted to have a place where people could share the items they found, but the subreddits that existed at the time were not active at all," they said. Read on for our the founder's insights about the community and the possible future of the hobby after the pandemic.

My Friend Guided Me To A Charity Shop That Had A Donation Of Brand New Wedding Dresses From A Boutique; This Had £1595 On The Tag. I Got It For £25 And It Fits Like A Glove
Lydia Johnson 4 years ago
Just exact timing for you to find the perfect wedding dress at a huge discount.
Theo Nightingale 4 years ago
Absolutely beautiful ~ it was made for you and you'll be a lovely bride ~ congratulations!
The subreddit founder explained to Bored Panda that moderating the huge community is "fairly simple" and doesn't eat up as much time as you'd expect. Approving new posts, going through spam and reports, and removing posts, as well as taking care of bans eats up around 30 minutes each day. Which is efficient, quality work for a subreddit of this size.
According to the founder, they want to make the community all about the items to make the posts simple and to-the-point. "I don't want people selling or advertising their blog or anything like that. A picture of the thing you got, that is it. That makes the subreddit easily digestible," they said. What's more, this straightforward content feeds into how moderation is simple. In short, focus is r/ThriftStoreHauls' main strength. "We thrive in having a singular focus."

This ring was not " found"-it was bought. So the lady, who purchased this from the " thrift shop", is the rightful owner of this ring. If the original owner can't be bothered to check to see if the item they are getting rid of, is worth anything, that's on them. Note-the original owner "got rid of it", meaning, they did not want the ring. If they wanted it- they would have kept it. The new owner does not owe them anything. The new owner is not being greedy. The new owner is not being dishonest. As for the salesperson, person responsible for pricing/evaluation-they, also, should have done their homework. This lady was told it was something other than what it really was, she did nothing wrong or dishonest. And the pple yelling how greedy this is- are just jealous as hell, and it makes them mad because they are the " why can't something like this happen to meeee"- people, and you know it's true: haters gonna hate.

Not allowed when I worked in a UK charity shop, but other countries have "thrift stores" that are essentially for-profit second-hand shops so they may well haggle. If it was a charity shop I would not feel right about keeping that kind of money for myself.

Ten whole dollars? You’re king/queen of the fabulous finds! Love the decor !
Not having gone to any thrift shops since January, the founder told Bored Panda that they've only heard about how the stores have changed. "There was a lot of talk about how great it would be once they opened since people were stuck at home and probably were cleaning out their garages/attic/closet. From the content I have seen, nobody seemed to get amazing scores. So, other than a limit to how many people can be in a store, I really don't know."
They also had some great advice for anyone and everyone who enjoys the hobby or wants to start things up. It's all about having fun and being social. "There is always the hope of finding something awesome when out thrifting. Not finding anything can take its toll and take away the fun of going. What I tell people is to go and just enjoy looking at stuff. Bring a friend and have some laughs. Buy a random CD and have that be the CD you listen to while out thrifting. Then, if you do happen to find something awesome, it's a bonus." Some awesome advice that's perfect for life, not just thrifting.

$30 For The Dresser, $15 For Paint And $25 For Legs And Handles
SirPatTheCat 4 years ago
I always have an internal crisis with these because on one hand they turn out so well, and it really is the choice of the person who bought it. On the other hand, in my opinion there’s so much beauty in the original wood and varnish that it is a shame to cover it up with such an irreversible process. Also, especially with hand carved and intricate pieces I feel like the artist was making a piece that was meant to be accentuated by and seen with the gorgeous wood. It seems slightly disrespectful so quickly cover up that time consuming piece with a coat of paint because of a pinterest post you saw. However, some furniture is already fairly deteriorated, and painting it gives it new life, so in that case maybe it’s better? And there is a lot of furniture out there as well, so it wouldn’t do anyone good to not paint any of it but not use it? A dilemma indeed...

75 Cents For This Basket. Cat Was Found For Free At The Dump 5 Years Ago
The ‘Thrift Store Hauls’ community is all about people coming together and sharing their “thrifty finds” from garage sales, flea markets, and—yes—even pawn shops and estate sales.
However, if you got something at a discount at a department store, found a long-lost heirloom in your attic, or used an online store, the subreddit’s rules state that this is not the place for those photos. Seeing as more and more thrift stores are having to move online because of the coronavirus lockdowns, this might make some of the community members confused.

I have a similar set to the one pictured, le creuset, same colour, plus a selection of frying pans. Bought used at 2 separate car boot sales in the same month, for around £60. Mum admired them, so I bought her a smaller set - 4 saucepans, dutch oven, large & small frying pans - in a sort of taupe/pale brown enamel, matching their kitchen's neutral colour scheme. Dad decided they were too heavy to use in the kitchen, so he drilled holes in the bottom of them & used them as garden planters 😆

Bored Panda previously spoke all about the changing face of thrift stores and secondhand shopping during the Covid-19 pandemic with the team of the Weird Secondhand Finds That Just Need To Be Shared Facebook group, another thrifty online leviathan that has 2.1 million members. They confirmed that local thrift stores have moved to online ordering and some are even offering curbside pickup.
Another way to support your local thrift shops while we’re fighting the Covid-19 pandemic is to give them all the support you can on Facebook and other social media channels. This way, you can give them the attention they deserve while also staying up to date on their sales, offers, and newest finds.
Many thrift stores also have plexiglass barriers at registers, require you to wear masks, have a limit on the number of people that can enter, and have a whole bunch of other safety protocols in place. The things they sell might be secondhand, but your health is a priority.

Fabulous find! A little tailoring on the length and it'll fit like a glove! My best advice to anyone is to find a tailor. Considering what you save on your thrift finds, usually a little adjustment by a good tailor will make ANYTHING look custom. No more having to look for something that specifically fits you! And, you still save money!

Something similar happened to me, but not with such a world known writer. I bought a second-hand book from a street bookseller in Tehran, because it's illegal there and can't be found in regular bookstores (translations are available in many other countries). It's written by Iran's most famous satirist of the 20th century. The man brought me two copies from his hiding place, although I wanted only one. I bought both and thought I'll give one to a friend. Later I found the author's signature inside from 1976, three years before the revolution, dedicating the copy to an Iranian Senator and land baron, a cousin of Iran's former Minister of the Royal Court. The mob probably looted his home during the unrests and this book found its way to the bookseller on the street, 30 years later.
Theo Nightingale 4 years ago
This is a treasure! King doesn't sign many books these days and the fact that you have a true classic novel by the man, signed with a salutation (the former owner's name doesn't matter), you have something a great value. We spend many years selling memorabilia and books. Congratulations on a superb find!

Templeton Peck. "In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team."

We Got This Yearbook At Our Thrift Store. In Flipping Through It Noticed This Guy's Senior Ambition: "A Million Seller Record". I Wondered If He Had Achieved It. Turns Out He Did
Sometimes we get yearbooks from far flung schools at our charity thrift store. I like to get them to someone who wants them for the cost of postage.
I was looking through this one from Arizona and noticed that the seniors listed their ambition. I was struck how many of the women listed hair dresser or secretary. Then I noticed a guy who said he wanted to be a pro surfer (this was 1965). I decided to look him up and while doing that I noticed another guy whose ambition was "A million record seller".
Nothing came up on the surfer. I hope he had a good time in life regardless. But the second guy, he came up.
By the time he had listed his ambition for the yearbook he already had a band that played regularly. They had recorded and released a single too. After high school he and the band moved to LA and changed their name. They released a single under that name but decided to change the name again since Todd Rundgren had a band of the same name.
They settled on a new name which coincidentally was later used by character on Mayberry RFD. This guy with the ambition eventually adopted this new band name as his own and did have more than a million record seller. Turns out Vincent Damon Furnier of the Cortez High School class of 1966 is better known as Alice Cooper.
Becca Gizmo the Squirrel 4 years ago
I lost all my yearbooks. About 15 years ago I was moving out and my "sister in law" was moving in the same house. Left her with my furniture I didn't need right away but I was coming back for my books. Within a few days she threw out all my books including my year books. She knew I was coming back for them! I took all my furniture back including my washer and dryer. I was so mad.

Its not a win every time BUT if you have the time to look around & really explore your local ones, you'll find tons of useful stuff!
