1959 Jaeger-Lecoultre Watch: $35,000
Zach Norris was walking through a Goodwill in Phoenix, Arizona when he spotted a timepiece he thought looked worth the $5.99 price tag it had attached to it. He picked up the watch, not realizing that it was a 1959 Jaeger-Lecoultre. He showed off his find on a watch collector’s website and it sold for $35,000. His story doesn’t end there, along with receiving a very handsome payday for his $5.99 purchase, he was also gifted a $4,000 watch as a thank you for the sale. We bet you won’t look at watches in thrift stores the same way ever again.
