Some ordinary-looking thrift finds can be surprisingly valuable: Vintage Pyrex, Big-E Levis, sterling silver, and collectible cast iron can be worth far more than their sticker price.
The best clues are often hidden: Check bottoms, backstamps, labels, tabs, copyright pages, and makers marks before passing something up.
Condition and rarity matter: A desirable color, uncommon shape, original dust jacket, or intact vintage label can dramatically increase what collectors will pay.
One person's donation can be another person's jackpot.
Thrift stores are filled with things that look old, dated, or downright ordinary. And most of them are exactly that.
But mixed among the $2 coffee mugs and $8 jeans can be collectibles worth $50, $100m or occasionally hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars. The hard part is knowing what deserves a second look.
A recent example is vintage Pyrex. A limited-edition bowl that could easily get lumped in with grandma's old kitchenware has become a highly sought-after collectible.
And Pyrex is hardly the only thing hiding in plain sight. Here are seven thrift-store finds you should learn how to spot.
1. Pyrex Pumpkin Butterprint bowls
If you see old Pyrex, don't automatically dismiss it as another piece of grandma's cookware.
One particularly interesting pattern is Pumpkin Butterprint, released in 1965. It features orange farm-themed illustrations on a white background and was produced in limited numbers. Examples are now being offered for hundreds of dollars on resale sites like eBay, with many selling for $250-$375 depending on the condition.
Pumpkin Butterprint also has a handy identifying feature: It appears to have been produced exclusively in Pyrex's Cinderella bowl shape. Those bowls have distinctive extended lips on both sides that work as handles and pouring spouts.
What to look for: White Pyrex Cinderella bowls decorated with orange Amish-style figures, crops, and farm imagery.
Thrift-store trick: Don't just look at the Pyrex pattern. Flip it over and photograph the logo, model number, and other markings and do an image search on eBay. Those details can help identify the exact piece before you buy.
And remember that a $500 eBay listing doesn't mean somebody paid $500 for it. Be sure to check those completed or sold listings whenever possible.
