A $2.48 Thrift Shop Item Turns Out To Be Worth A Small Fortune!
That's it. I'm gonna start hittin the thrift shops from this day forward! lol....I'm a sucker for this kind of story because it can happen to any of us. Just gotta be alert.

Yeah, this guy in Tennessee was casually browsing around in a thrift store in Nashville when he spotted a yellowed, rolled up document looking thing. Like a scroll.

## Hmmm...that looks ANCIENT

It looked really, really old to him so he was curious about it. When he asked the price and found out it was only $2.48 he bought it. Once he got home he started researching online.

Turns out it was one of 200 official copies of the Declaration Of Independence which had been ordered by John Quincy Adams in 1820!  He spent months confirming his find and then sold it at a collectibles auction. For $477,650.00!  

**It didn't make him rich but it was definitely a life-changing amount.**

>Here's a closeup of the copy with John Hancock's signature:

## This copy had an interesting story

The Tennessean wrote an article about the document and the sale and when they did, a guy contacted the paper and said that the very same copy that just sold used to be his.

He said he had it hanging in his garage for ten years. He'd bought it at a yard sale for something like 50 cents! lol.  

But when his wife went on a tear about cleaning up his work area in the garage...well you know how most men are...it didn't really get done. 

## Can't blame it on the wife but...well I probably would!

So she did it herself and the copy of the Declaration was one of the items she took down and wanted out of there. They had a debate about it and the wife won so she took it and other old stuff and donated them to the thrift store. 

The guy who had it in his garage wasn't bitter though, he said he was happy for the new owner and said if he had it it'd still be hanging in his garage and he still wouldn't know that it was worth anything.

![o1AJ9qDyyJNSpZWhUgGYc3MngFqoAMxodQF1jJNdfpHTCGove.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmUdbS3RoycBXpkHdXRLDDZLguvMjgrcYBGAJGNsYEr9kG)

That thing looks ancient. I don't know about you guys but wouldn't you have at least checked online to see if there was an off-chance that you had something old? Come on people!  

And what was wrong with the yard sale people? I wonder how long they'd had it and never thought of checking it out? jeez. Oh well, at least someone was smart enough to do that.

Thanks for reading folks, God bless you all!

Amazing story!  I can't imagine how many treasures like this are thrown away because nobody buys it.  Although these days, a quick ebay search can reveal a lot about the value of things.

Howdy sir ironshield! I know, I can only imagine the treasures that are thrown away! I used to go to thrift stores and flea markets all the time and I'm gonna start doing that again. Yard sales seem to be incredible too. Do you go to any of those places?

Hey janton, I hope there are lots of treasures out there for people to find.  

Love the dog's loving look on his face.  Animals are so beautiful.

Hmm, I think I might be having a few stern words with the wife if this happened to me...But then it's his own fault for letting her in the workshop. πŸ˜„

Good story. Better that the document is somewhere being appreciated than rolled up on a shelf.

I don't know about you but I come home and when opening mail or handling paperwork use the *kitchen counter* filing method in conjunction with the *leave it anywhere* filing system. Faith comes along, cleans up and files my stuff somewhere and I never see it again. I wish she wouldn't upset my finely tuned systems like that. 

(I don't let her *tidy* my workshop. She helps me sometimes when I'm doing it, but she's under strict supervision.) 😜

I've seen so many copies of the Declaration of Independence sold in museum gift shops that are printed on parchment type paper and yellowed and made to look old that I probably would have just assumed that someone had bought it as a souvenir when they visited Philadelphia. Cool story. I love the dog photo!

Howdy Melinda! Is your family gathering over? How about those Packers beating those guys like a drum? lol. What was it, 31 to 13? dang that was a good win. 

I agree about the copies of the Declaration. I thought you might like that dog photo. lol.

That was my kind of football! Stress free!

Gotta love those Shepherds!

It was wonderful having the kids and grandkids here for the weekend! They decorated my Christmas tree, so now I'm ready for the next holiday!

I often wonder if some of those thrift shop don't also go over a lot of stuff that comes in.  Some are private church owned that get donated estate stuff or go out and bid on entire estates.  I often find the private church owned ones have better quality stuff in the way of clothing versus those who sit donation boxes around cities and people just throw whatever junk they have in it.  Sometimes visiting those stores can be a hoot....leather couches with big swaths of the leather worn off, faded clothed couches and chairs, grease stains or missing zippers and buttons...like I wouldn't give fifty cents for that stuff and they'll be asking thirty, forty bucks for furniture like that.  Same with Craigslist sometimes, makes you wonder if people are truly that mental they'd think people would buy stuff like that or they post it as a joke to see if people are that desperate.

Awwwwwww, another priceless photo of German Shepherd 😍

And this old document story, is priceless also, lol. Well not that the value is, but honestly, as you said, what;s wrong with people? I thin I must say again, only Americans, lol. If it's not gold, diamonds or car, they can't suspect a value, lol. But kudos to guy with brains. Oh and I agree, you should go around thrift shops too. You can also write about them on Steemit, so even if you don't find anything major, you still make money. You could use title REDNECK'S THRIFT SHOP ADVENTURES πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Dogs are, indeed, awesome.

Can you imagine being that thrift store appraiser and passing that item right by? "Oh yeah, that old thing? Pfft. I was going to let my kid colour on the back, but the paper was too brittle."

Seriously, I know it'd be a conflict of interest to keep the item, but if they realised what it was they probably could have sold it at auction as well. Most thrift stores are charitable, and that would have been an awesome improvement.
