Much like treasure expeditions and playing the lottery, thrifting is one of those hobbies where you really never exactly know how it’s going to end. A realist is aware that the chances of getting something amazing are low, but as the internet proves time and time again, it’s never zero.

The wonderfully named “Official Weird Second Hand Finds That Need To Be Shared Page” is dedicated to just that, interesting and unusual thrift store and garage sale finds. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to comment your thoughts below.

Hi, if no one actually knows who this is, this belongs to the "Creede Olive Oil" company in Creede, Colorado. This painting is found on an old Ford Bronco, and it's technically and easter egg to show people how cool the olive oil company is. Saw it this summer. :)

I bought a cat statue about 8" high with a verdigris finish. Lola the Siamese was most displeased. Hissed, puffed up and yowled. Very funny. She did get used to it.

No, no, no! At no point is a bike mentioned in the bible! Everyone knows, Jesus drove a Honda Accord, even though he didn't talk much about it... John 12,49.

When they got married, Aunt Doe insisted Uncle Buck take her surname; insisting that John Buck and Jane Buck sounded rather undignified.

My Dad Got These From A Thrift Store Or An Estate Sale

They got left in a drawer of a cabinet I took from his house and we didn't know. My brother in law stumbled across them one night looking at our furniture we had stored in the garage. First they scared the crap out of him and then he brought them to us with so many questions. I have no answers
