On his account, Ben thrifts vintage clothes and then resells them on sites like eBay.

In the clip, Ben went into the charity store Goodwill and revealed he found a second-hand anime shirt based on the Japanese magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump.

"I don't know if that's the correct shirt or not but if it is, that's insane," Ben told his over 13,600 followers in the clip.

The TikToker showed a close up of the shirt in question which had 'Shonen Jump One Piece' written on the front.

But it was the label on the small sized shirt that made the thrift shopper realise he had struck gold with this find.

In the video, Ben zoomed in on the 'One Piece' label on the shirt which proved the merchandise that he bought for just U$4.99 (approx. A$7.82) was indeed an authentic make.

He then showed the hem of the shirt which had the toy licensing by the stitching, proving it was the real deal.

"Its always nice to find a vintage tee. But its even better to find one from something you really [e]njoy," he added in the video caption.

Later in the clip, the TikToker assured that the shirt was worth a lot more than he bought it for after he reached out on social media for authenticity confirmation.

"Yes looks legit to me," one account responded to his query.

The American thrift shopper then showed screenshots of similar anime merchandise that had sold for up to a whopping U$650 (approx. $1018) on eBay.

"This was an amaz[i]ng score and I should be able to get around $500 (approx. $783) for it when I decide to sell," he told his followers in the video caption.

The video has since gathered over 561,100 views, proving that one person's trash is truly another's treasure.
