A 14k gold personalized bracelet that I got in a jar of “broken” jewelry for $19.99. It weighs 12.5 grams.

It finally happened! I bought this cute purse at a store for $10 and proceeded to find $10 in the pocket.

I was at a local thrift store and I was going to leave when I found an Italian coffee maker for $10. The old sticker with the price says $499.
4
A genuine Gustave Doré engraving I scored for $40 — I didn’t realize what I had until I did some digging at home. It turned out to be worth a few thousand dollars! Find of a lifetime!
5
I found a silver chain and silver earrings for 3 cents.
6
Back in September, I found these vintage sconces in shambles, so I repaired them and fitted them with wireless LEDs.

I don’t have the space for it but my love for mid-century pieces runs deep. My find at a thrift store for $15!

Just found these massive 18k gold earrings in a jar of jewelry for $25.

I just paid $20 for the chair, lamp, and mirror. I’m proud.

I bought this bag for $10 at a garage sale. I knew right away it was a cool thing. A used one from eBay costs $211 and new ones cost $600 to $700.

Literally just found this solid 14k Seiko watch in a bag of jewelry for $44. I haven’t even left the store yet because my friend isn’t done shopping.

My mom found an expensive paint kit for $10 at her local swap meet. $200 was balled up with a receipt at the bottom. Happy Mother’s Day, indeed!

A Karen Greene enamel for $4.99.

I bought these earrings in a thrift store 10 years ago. They turned out to be really valuable.

17
Found $150 cash inside an old book yesterday!

Found these 2 14k gold Diamonique rings for $4 each. These are quite clearly marked “14k” too — I think someone working there must have just glanced at them and assumed they were costume rings.
