SHE took a massive gamble spending almost £50 on six mystery bags of clothes she spotted on Facebook Marketplace.
But thrifting pro Ella was hoping there would be enough bits in the bags that she could sell on to make the Facebook buy worth her while.
She took to TikTok to document the mystery haul, as she started her first video: "I just bought six mystery bags of clothing from someone on Facebook Marketplace for £47 ($60) so lets go and see what we get.
"I just got back and now I'm going to go through the stuff and see what's in here.
"On the listing it had some of the brands that are in here, but other than that I have no idea what to expect."
Things kicked off well with a floral skirt from Brandy Melville, as Ella said: "That's literally so cute, that's a good start!"

She also put a pair of Urban Outfitters mum jeans and a Target sundress in her "yes" pile, but she's not a fan of skinny jeans, so they all went straight to the "no" pile.
Ella found some cute cropped tops that she was excited about, as well as three pairs of her favourite butterfly shorts from Amazon.
"That alone makes this worth it for me because those are like $20 each and I buy those for myself all the time," she grinned.
There was a fair selection of sportswear in the bags too – with items from Lululemon, Victoria's Secret and Fabletics.

And while Ella initially said she wasn't a fan of Fabletics, she ended up keeping a top, a jumper and two pairs of joggers from the brand.
She found some more cute dresses and skirts from Brandy Melville, as well as a "really cute" Urban Outfitters sundress.
Ella added that she was planning to take most of the things in her no pile to her local Plato's Closet, which "buys and sells gently used name brand clothes, shoes and accessories".
And in another TikTok, she revealed she'd taken a big selection of bits from the Facebook haul and her own things to Plato's Closet but had only been given £47 ($60) as they didn't buy much from her.
However, that $60 covered the cost of the Facebook mystery bags.
"Live love facebook marketplace," Ella captioned one of her videos.
And people were quick to praise her for the find in the comments section, with one writing: "The brands you got in these bags for $60 is crazy.
"Definitely worth selling and such!!!"
"Fantastic find!" another added.
