Such luck can only be envied.

Usually, through thrift stores and flea markets, people get rid of things they do not need that are of no particular value. However, sometimes there are such things in which appraisers and sellers simply did not see the real treasure. Here are 10 striking examples of such finds, which were told by netizens.

1. A diamond and sapphire ring found in a bowl of $ 2 jewelry. The jewelers have confirmed the authenticity of the stones.

2. Photo with real autographs for $ 2. The saleswoman at the thrift store had no idea who the people in the photo were.

3. This costume is 30 years old and is a real heirloom. It was accidentally found and bought by the great-grandson of the founder of the factory where it was sewn. The suit was released just before the production was closed.

4. Another similar case - a girl found a picture of her grandmother in a thrift store, which was sold more than 25 years ago.

5. And here is a woolen blanket of the famous American brand Pendleton, also with tags. It was bought for $ 15 at a market price of $ 270.

6. The seller said it was green amethyst. After a little haggling, the ring was bought for $ 42. In a jewelry store, a preliminary estimate showed that it is in fact a rare 4.4-carat green diamond that can cost over $ 8,000.

7. Vintage furniture Giovanni Travasa 1965. The one who found them in the thrift shop had no idea that there was no other such set in the world that included all three items. The set was purchased for $ 500, but only one sofa is now over $ 7,800.

8. A set of real jade cups bought from a thrift store for only $ 10.

9. T-shirt with a print based on the book "The Lord of the Rings" - produced in 1978. A real find for a dedicated Tolkien fan.

10. Incredibly sharp knife from the Japanese brand Shun Cutlery. Bought for $ 3 at a cost of $ 100.
