There's been another thrift store score.
This Redditor shared a photo to r/ThriftStoreHauls after they found a stunning bed frame on Facebook Marketplace.
"Facebook marketplace score, $200USD," the user wrote. "The guy was the original owner, he bought it in 1992 and hasn't used it in years so it's been sitting in his garage."
The picture shows a large wooden bed frame with an attached headboard and "floating" nightstands. While the user isn't certain of the brand, a similar bed frame sells for nearly $6,000. Several commenters mentioned seeing this same frame at stores for hundreds of dollars more than what the original poster paid.
