It's true what say - one man's trash is another man's treasure, especially when it comes to second-hand items. We all know that thrift stores are loaded with amazing items that are yet to be treasured by new owners. Somebody created a facebook group to help people share all the amazingly weird things they encounter while browsing Goodwill's shelves. We made a list of some of the most unusual specimens scroll below to see them!

"Found a magazine ad of my Great Grandma and twin uncles from 1952! They're all gone now, so it's a doubly amazing find."

"Today’s find...they may look like normal old ratty chairs, but here’s the kicker - I already owned them once before. Brought them to the US from Europe when I moved back home in 2001, and stored them with a relative. After a rift in the family, I considered them a loss. Here they are, nearly 20 years later, in a 2nd hand store. Though they may be much worse for the wear, they’re coming home with me (again)."

"Just a bunny sitting on a lawn chair reading a book. He spoke to me at GW and I rescued him. He moved into my bookshelf and looks happy."

"If only I had known it could be this easy.
Maybe I should have brought this one home."

"When you have feet like Tinkerbell....
Original Docs, immaculate condition.
At least eight people tried to cram their feet into these while I was in the store. It was like Cinderella meets the Hunger Games.
They’re a perfect fit.
Sometimes the odds really ARE in your favour!!!"

"I was poking around a quiet antique store when a booming male voice said "come closer, try your luck! Dont be afraid." I jumped so badly I nearly knocked over a display... needless to say, he didn't come home with me..."

"I sure hope it works.. amazing!
Just an edit for those who don't read comments: it works, AND glows in the dark, AND has flashing blue/green/red lights.
I am truly blessed"

"My absolute favorite Goodwill purse find that I wear a LOT! It's a 3D flat purse. I had wanted one for a really long time, but they're normally $75 brand new. This one still had the plastic sheeting on the buttons and was never worn. I think I paid $7-$8!!! It's surprisingly roomy inside. MAGIC!
EDIT: This is an original Jump From Paper bag. Yes, I know there's cheap ones online, but those are knock offs. Please love and support your designers and artists by buying originals. Ok, off my soap box. Thanks!"
