I found a jewelry accessory for just $10 while thrifting

A LUCKY thrift shopper has scored nearly a $200 profit on a product found in the jewelry section.

To save money, many turn to thrift shops, which generally are not for profit and rely on donations to operate.

Other savvy consumers may look to buy items at a bargain and then sell them online for a profit.

One of those is TikTok influencer @houseofbrickss, who has more than 600,000 followers.

In a recent post, he came across the jewelry section at his local thrift shop and saw a variety of watches under the glass.

"There's gotta be something that goes for money," houseofbrickss said.

And he was right; because after a little searching his eyes caught an Apple Watch.

Best of all, the price tag was only $10.

"I gotta get an employee, he said.

"I'm getting this right now – that's a steal."

Now keep in mind, how much it's worth can depend on the condition and the version of the Apple Watch.

For example, an Apple Series 8 Watch that comes in an aluminum case recently sold on eBay for $220 after 19 bids.

The item was described as "pre-owned."

Another Series 8 watch sold for $330 on eBay.

"Only 5 months old.. Includes watch box with charger and black sports band with a different color box color," the seller's description read.

But keep in mind that other Apple Watches could only be worth in the hundreds or less than that.

Meanwhile, houseofbrickss said he was planning on selling the watch for $200.

The version was unclear but the color of it appeared to be teal.

If you aren't sure if you found a valuable item at a bargain at the thrift store, be sure to check out eBay.

Make sure to download the app and use the barcode scanner.

After the item comes up, you'll want to tick the "sold" category under the filters option – so you know what buyers have paid for it.

And be aware that you might need to have extensive knowledge about particular items to know if you can snag a profit.

Some items that could be rare collectibles include vintage games, toys, and American folk art.

Even a vintage record or T-shirt from an old band could sell for hundreds on eBay.

Also, be sure to look out for discounts, as some thrift stores will have clearance signs on a particular item or in an entire section.

But houseofbrickss is far from the only one finding items at the thrift store and flipping them for a big profit.

Plus a thrifter discovered a painting in a Goodwill donation bin.

It turns out the painting was actually produced by 19th-century Italian painter Giovanni Battista Torriglia.
