Although stores selling used items are not very developed and widespread in our country, they are widespread in several European countries and the USA.
People shop at such stores when they don’t want to spend a lot of money on that particular item. The principle is as follows:people give their junk for free to that store, which sells it at a low price.
That is why there have been many cases when buyers have accidentally discovered valuables among the purchased goods.For example, money in a picture frame, a gold ring in a pocket, etc.
This American woman, Loretta Sims, had just visited a thrift store to see what interesting things she could buy. But life had a big surprise for her.
Although she did not find anything unusual, she decided to buy ear sticks, which cost 50 cents. She handed the cashier the two 25-cent pennies and went home.
After opening the box at home, the woman was in big surprise. In it were precious jewels: diamond earrings and a pearl necklace.
At first, she thought they were probably cheap jewelry, but after visiting a specialist, she was convinced that they were indeed very expensive, $1,800 to be exact.
In fact, the woman, spending only 50 cents received a total of $1,800 worth of jewelry.
