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.

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.

This is gorgeous. I'd want it if I had anywhere to put it. Wonder if this was some kind of discarded theater prop?
