A COUPLE purchased a $70 camera from Goodwill, only to discover the truth behind it was much more complicated.
Mike and Vanessa, from Arizona, bought the Canon camera from their local charity store.
However, little did they know that the camera was donated by accident, and was actually worth $3,700.
Kelsie Lee (@kelsierlee) described on TikTok how her mom accidentally donated the camera, which she had: "saved up [her] entire life to buy."
"My mom is the best person on the planet, and I already could see in her face how horrible she felt," Lee told Fox News.
The amateur photographer and her mom rushed to Goodwill after realizing what had happened, only to be told that a couple had purchased the camera that day.

"And the craziest thing about it: they sold this $3,700 camera — a brand new model from Canon — for $70. My stomach sunk, and I just fell to the ground of the Goodwill and started bawling my eyeballs out," she said.
The 23-year-old posted an emotional video begging TikTok to help her find the couple who purchased her brand-new camera.
In her tearful plea, Kelsie said that she was willing to offer a $500 reward if the couple returned the item to her.
What ended up happening was heartwarming.

"I have the most exciting update to share with you. The incredible couple that purchased my camera found me through the news and [you guys] and returned it to me," she shared.
Lee described how the couple messaged her on Instagram and sent her photos of the camera they had just purchased.
"I knew right away because of the neck strap that was on it," Lee told Fox News.
The couple then drove to return the camera to her.
"The wife is going through some pretty aggressive health issues right now, and I want to help return their radical kindness," she continued.
"I want to get this couple a camera, and I need your help," Kelsie asked her TikTok followers.
After asking her followers to tag Canon USA in the comment section, the brand gifted the Arizona-based couple a camera of their own.
