SHE thought it was something else when she picked it up in a charity shop for £3.
But little did Liv know that she'd actually stumbled across a plush toy that was going to bring in a massive profit.
She took to her TikTok page to share her story, as she held up the soft toy in question.
“I picked him up a while back from the charity shop for £3,” she began.
“I picked him up because I actually thought he was from something different!”
However, she soon found out that the toy was actually from a show called Terror Teds, and was made way back in 1986.
“I'd never even heard of it before,” she said.
“But I did a quick eBay search while I was in the shop and saw that they go for a lot of money and they're quite rare!”
She initially listed the bear for £85, and “waited out the sale for a couple of months”.
And now she's accepted an offer of £76 – as she reminded viewers once again that she'd paid just £3 for it.
“Our guy has sold!!” Liv in the caption.
“Can’t believe it hahaha – it just shows the random little gems you can find when you’re out and about!
“It isn’t often I find really good profitable items but it’s great fun when you do.”
People were quick to take to the comments section, with one writing: “Oh my god I’ve seen them in my charity shop I go to!
“There was 3 of them – I know where I’m heading in the morning!”
“Omg!!! Go get them!!” Liv replied.
“That’s fricking amazing Liv – amazing find!” someone else praised.
“And incredible profit!
Top charity shop tips for bagging a bargain

Choose your area – As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated.
Don't hang around – If you see something you like, buy it, as it'll likely be gone when you come back
Look out for cut-off labels – Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn't sold during their own sales . Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes.
Stay at home – While some charities have their own site, likeOxfamand Crisis . many also sell from dedicatedeBaystores, such as British Heart Foundation andScope. You won't get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you're looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too.

“Same – that’s why I originally picked him up!” Liv responded.
