A BARGAIN hunter has admitted they were left floored after discovering the actual value of a £1.50 necklace from the charity shop.
After spotting the gold collar-style in one of his local shops, he saw the price tag and decided to snap it up.
But he had no idea how much it was actually worth until he checked Google – and was left stunned in the process.
He took to TikTok to share a video of himself paying for his haul, as he kicked off with a silver-plated fruit bowl he got for £1.50.
Next up was a bag of four Swarovski items for £1.50, a pearl necklace for the same price, a £1 silver necklace and a cute pill box for 50p.
But it was the next item that stole the show – the gold necklace with a diamond centre.
“BINGO! Christian Dior necklace £1.50!” he wrote over the top of the video on his Fleamarketlondon TikTok page.
He also showed the eBay listing which showed how much another one of the necklaces had gone for – £618.71.
The eBay title listed the necklace as being vintage and from the 1980s, with a crystal centre.
While another listing had the necklace priced at £720.71.
“I found very, very good stuff in one of the charity shops,” he captioned the video.
And people were quick to praise the man for finding the necklace, with one writing: “What a score!”
“You've got some great finds,” another said.
“Nice find! Well spotted,” a third commented.
“Great find,” someone else praised.
As another admitted: “I was worried they’d notice and just raise the price!”
The man is a pro at finding little gems among the tat – and does so at the boot sales, at antique markets and in charity shops.
He also revealed the shop he found the gold Dior necklace in was in Ireland.
And when it comes to snapping up a deal, he's not afraid to haggle.
But if you're someone who finds the concept of haggling more than a little daunting, there's a few tips that can help make you more confident.
“Start by offering less than you're ultimately willing to pay — or as a seller, list items for sale above the minimum you'll accept,” pro haggler Peter Rothbart told Business Insider.
“Your first offer may be accepted, but if not, you'll still have room to negotiate below your ceiling.”
