Shoppers with the patience to carefully sort through every item on the shelf are rewarded with these treasures.

Sarah Dunk (@sarahdunk) is an avid saver with a keen eye for detail.

During a trip to a thrift store, she found something so incredible that she had to pick up her phone and record it.

“I don’t want to be dramatic, but this will make you go crazy,” she said in the video, pointing to a black dress with lace details hanging on the hanger.

She pulled it out and showed the Gianni Versace label. The dress was made from black mesh, and the bustier had nude lace details.

Sarah excitedly showed it to her friend and screamed about the $17 price.

But when her friend asked what size it was, she realized she hadn’t even checked.

“It looks small. I’m scared,” Sarah said, holding the dress up to her waist.

In the comments, someone helped her figure out exactly where the dress was from.

“This dress is from the ’92 collection, worth around $9,800,” one person commented.

“Someone at that thrift store is an idiot for putting this at that price!”

One of these dresses is listed on resale site First Dibs for $9,800.

“I wouldn’t care if it fit me or not, I would buy it and look at it every day,” said another person.

“Not just Versace, it’s Gianni Versace, you’ve been blessed! Very jealous,” commented one viewer, referring to the label.

Labels with Gianni’s name were only used before his death in 1997.

ALL WELL DRESSED

A Goodwill shopper was shocked when she found a $4,000 dress for just $8.

They explained in a Reddit thread that they purchased the red lace dress without realizing its value.

When she got home, she inspected the dress and realized it was from a designer.
