52 Thrifted Items People Found and Had to Take Home

This has to be the wildest thrift item we’ve ever come across. No, your eyes do not deceive you. The person who took this picture is now the proud owner of a hot air balloon basket. The new owner shared that this balloon basket is from a 1974 Firefly hot air balloon. It looks incredible, but we can’t help but wonder how in the world this person got such an item. 

According to our storyteller, they scored this unique thrift for free! Someone was giving this item away for free on Facebook Marketplace. Our storyteller jumped at the chance to have such a unique item in their home. They plan to make an indoor reading nook out of the basket, complete with a stained glass globe on top.
