The Thrift Store Find of a Lifetime: What the Wilt Chamberlain Jacket Sale Reveals About Value and Obsession A 1972 Wilt Chamberlain Lakers warm up jacket sold at auction for $89,600, more than 29 times its original thrift store price.
Quinn Brown, the jacket's new owner, found it in an Oregon store for just $3. 07 after a rigorous authentication process by Sotheby's.
Brown has made a living reselling clothes he finds online that he initially discovered in thrift stores. His previous most valuable find was a Sub Pop Records T shirt that sold for $250.
