I found a Star Trek-themed item at Goodwill for $8 - when people found out what it was worth they we

A SHOPPER has made a Goodwill score that is being met with jealousy from fellow customers.

The thrifty shopper posted their big find to the Reddit thread ThriftStoreHauls, showing off an 11-piece tea set from Goodwill.

User lowlife9 bought the set for $8, complete with four mugs, a teapot, milk decanter, and sugar pot with two resting plates.

What makes this 11-piece set unique is that it's a Peter Saenger Star Trek The Next Generation Captain Picard set.

Uniqueness, in this case, means money as the set was valued at $400 by Saenger Porcelain.

Star Trek The Next Generation is set 78 years after the original series and ran from 1987 to 1994 over 178 episodes.

Appearing on multiple episodes of Star Trek, the tea set is typically pictured in Captain Picard and Beverly Crusher’s breakfast scenes.

Other users on the Reddit thread were quite emotional over the original poster's find.

"My first response? F**K YOU. Apparently I'm so jealous I'm mad! Lol I've been wanting one since I was a preteen!" said one passionate commenter.

And the jealousy kept rolling in.

"I literally felt my soul just collapse a little at this I am SO JEALOUS," one person wrote, while another said: "My envy is strong."

"Jealous. So jealous," a fourth fan said.

But most of the anger and envy came with warm feelings too.

"JEALOUS! What an incredible find, so cool!" said one user.

"Lol. Absolutely brilliant! Also, add me to the list of angry, jealous people," said another.

Some on Reddit suggested that the find could be a product of the production company having a back stock of the prop that they eventually offloaded.

"I love when the prop department buys mass produced props. When I was a kid, my parents had some cups that were the same as 10 Forward," one person said.

Others went on to explain that a lot of props are actually pretty common objects.

"There's an amazing amount of IKEA stuff in Hollywood. Tons of it in Battlestar Galactica in particular...I had Adama's shaving mirror in our bathroom for many years," wrote one user.

Another said: "The Orville has tons of IKEA stuff as well. Like all the furniture in the mess hall, for example."
