Finding an expensive, name-brand decoration for less than a dollar sounds like something out of a movie, but one Redditor managed to do it and took to the thread r/ThriftStoreHauls to show off their unbelievable find.
The photos feature a figurine by the company Lladró, and it's a young girl with a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a bird perched on the other. The piece would make a beautiful addition to your bookcase or shelf.
The photos show the price tag as well as a screenshot of the original price on the Lladro website, where it is listed for $400.
"$400 Lladro figurine for .75, don't mind if I do!" the Redditor wrote in the caption.
The find not only saved this Redditor hundreds on their decoration, but they also have the option to give it away as a gift or even resell it.
This sort of inexpensive, name-brand find isn't uncommon and applies to more than just decorations. Thrift stores, secondhand stores, and estate sales sell a variety of items such as clothes, kitchen gadgets, furniture, and books.
