Browsing through a flea market or second-hand shop requires patience, a little time, experience and above all, a good dose of luck. It takes a trained eye to find gems in the sea of objects. In fact, it is not impossible to come across a neglected or forgotten treasure - a treasure that makes one wonder how it was possible that it ended up in a flea market in the first place.
When this does happen, it's a very pleasant surprise. And some internet users have wanted to share their noteworthy finds online. Below, is a list of these finds:
