Secondhand shopping is a vibe. You can bag designer goods at ridiculously low prices, find unique furniture for your home, and even get a new set of wheels at a fraction of the price of a brand new car. But for every fabulous find out there is something that gives off a very different vibe.
You genuinely never know what you might come across when you visit a thrift shop, garage sale, flea market or anywhere else that sells "gently used" or "pre-loved" (and now hated) items. Among the piles of old books, chipped crockery and stained clothing lie the objects that'll have you wondering, "What is this?" Who owned it" and more importantly, "Why is it for sale?"
Bored Panda has put together a list of some of the strangest things people have ever happened upon while hunting for a good deal. From a three-year nail clipping collection at a cool $125 to the ashes of someone's ex-husband, these pics are proof that one man's treasure is another man's curse.
