I found an old jewelry box for 50c at Goodwill, but was more shocked to find rare item inside that sells for 200x more

A THRIFT store shopper has told how she bought a pair of gold earrings for just 50 cents at a sale.

The bargain hunter found the 14K gold jewelry inside a box and said they could be sold for up to $100.

The Redditor (@kokochina) revealed she’s always on the lookout for jewelry – even if it’s fake – while at the sales.

She said that the earrings were dirty, but the gold was “so shiny” and the backs were marked.

The shopper claimed that the cashier at the estate sale put the jewelry in her mouth to check that it was real.

She said that the cashier didn’t believe her that she found them in a dollar box, but the item had been marked down.

The Redditor claimed that the earrings’ retail price ranges between $60 and $100.

Kokochina is an avid thrift store shopper and has shared her previous finds that she’s bought at Goodwill.

Redditors were impressed with her buy, with some branding the jewelry a “steal.”

One said: “Those are beautiful! Congrats. I hope you enjoy them.”

Another commented: “Holy smokes. That’s such a good deal, it’s a crime.”

Thrift shoppers have told how they’ve managed to find a bargain before selling it online and pocketing hundreds.

Wyatt (@RewildedReselling) said a pair of men’s Ugg boots only cost $8.50 at Goodwill, but he managed to sell them online for more than $100 on eBay.

He admitted that he thought the footwear would be worth around $40 to $50.

Wyatt also managed to sell a bundle of PlayStation 2 games for more than $100 plus shipping.

Reselling superfan Mary (@thenashvilleblonde) spotted a soft beanie toy that was being sold for $3, but it was actually worth $225.

She told how she knew the item was vintage when she noticed the toy cat’s fur.

Mary turned over the item and spotted the Ty tag with the year 1992.

After buying the item, she surfed the web and spotted that an identical plush toy was being sold for more than $200 on eBay.

The U.S. Sun reported how another thrift store lover (@surfsupfinds) snapped up a vintage sweater for just $5 that he later sold for more than $120.
