Let's Play A Game - FREE or BOUGHT with Cost Matching - $47 Cost For $723 Revenue
Hey smarty pants!  Let's see if you can pass this upcycled vs thrifted challenge. 

See the pics below and tell me if I got them for FREE via upcycling (found chillin in curb recycling/saved from being destroyed), or if I BOUGHT them at a thrift store. 

Then, try to match them up with their potential "costs" in the list of options I've included at the bottom!!

1 point for "Free or Bought", and 2 points if you match a price. 

The max score will be 15 points across these 10 finds. (Hint - it's a 50:50 split.)

Respond in this format:

1. Free
2. Bought, $x

#### GOOD LUCK!

Hope this was fun and a nice exercise. 8 of these were recent sales.  2 of them were pulled from posts a few months ago on purpose to give long term followers a slight advantage.

_Start looking around for overlooked things that have value, and you'll start seeing green._

_I used to "never see anything" either, but I eventually started paying attention._

I'll keep showing examples to help!

I will be interesting to see the answers.

We have charity shops here in the UK, but I think they are a bit different to Thrift Stores. So I don't quite have a feel for them.

Step back or dive in?  You're going to be an animal.  Start building a warehouse in your backyard.

With more time on your hands, I challenge you to at least tell me what you think was free vs thrifted above.
