A BARGAIN shopper showed off a $250 jacket he found at a thrift store for $13.
Although critics disliked the style, they said its uniqueness made it stand out.
Editor Hunibumble shared the savings in a viral post.
After years of searching for a good deal, they couldn’t wait to share their new prized possession.
“I’m literally so excited. I’ve been surfing Goodwill for probably two years,” they said.
“This is my first real ‘score’ other than some super cute pashmina scarves!”
They shared a photo of a fleece jacket with blue and orange striped sleeves and a green man on the back, on sale for just $12.99.
“I had no idea what the jacket was about, but I loved it anyway, so I decided to check it out when I got home to see if the guy on the back had a name or something,” they said.
After thorough research, they discovered the true value of the “Desert Fleece” jacket was $250.
“It turns out it’s from a clothing collection a New York artist did a few years ago! I love him so much. I’m so glad we decided to stop by today!” they said.
One commenter revealed that the sweater is actually a work of art.
“For those curious, this is a fleece created for the Creature World NFT project, created by artist Danny Cole,” they said.
While the Redditor couldn’t be happier with his new purchase, others felt differently.
“It’s so ugly,” said one commenter.
The Redditor, however, was not intimidated.
“But that’s why I love it,” they responded.

“Great find! Doesn’t it feel great?!? It looks like it’s in great condition too!” said another.
“I bought some valuable works of art that most [folks] I think it’s ugly,” said one commenter.
“Beauty is in the eyes of the bargain shopper.”
