Fuck me, no7 is absolutely incredible. Imagine a fragile vase making it through both brother's and sister's cat and dog relationship for 20 years or more, it had survived their pillow fights and tennis balls flying through the room, the 1980's punk parties with that one special friend who drinks and smashes things around, the family cat chasing light reflexions, countless house improvements by a handful of plumbers and wallpaper men, decades of weekly dusting by your parents shaky old hands, in their late years with hands semi-paralysed by arthritis, you got the picture, right, and after both your parents deaths you discover that the old piece of crap which was sitting modestly on the mantel all this time was worth 54 million Sterling Pounds... It's simply disturbing!
+GorillaProduction38 It had survived more than that. England in 2nd World War, German air raids... And now imagine: Instead of realizing what this antique was the siblings could have easily thought that it was just an ugly old vase and instead of having it checked by an expert thrown it into the dumpster while cleaning out the house. It seriously makes you wonder about the treasures that end up in the trash can. I remember one find in a German TV show, two rusted old Porsches (one of the very first and a younger one), the owner wanted about 10,000 Euros for both, as far as I remember. Two salesmen came, checked them out and declined. Then a guy from the Porsche Museum came, checked the cars, declined the younger one and offered 100,000 Euros for the older one. Turned out that the older one was a rare Porsche 901, only 82 of these were built before they were renamed to Porsche 911 and the Porsche Museum themselves didn't have one.
I would be the guy that bought something for $5, and sold it for $20, thinking I made a great deal. Then seeing it at auction for $20 million. My life...... Lol
I pulled a box of rare glass tubes from the dump and I was trying to get the old electronics that were there to but I got yelled at. I ended up selling just a handful of the tubes for near $1000 and I got about 100 more of them. Some of them came out of Russian millitary equipment and a bunch of other old electronics that are preety rare
There is a television show called Antique Roadshow. A woman in my town purchased a painting from Goodwill for about 70-80 Dollars US.The t.v show came to our town and she took the painitng to them to be examined. She found out it was a lost piece of artwork worth well over 100,000 dollars US. The funny thing is the second hand shop (Goodwill) she bought it from wanted either the painting back of the actual value given to them. Needless to say they didn't get either.
+DoctorRobertNeville Sounds like the Goodwill stores in my town. They would knock over an elderly person to pick up a penny. They cut the linings out of all coats to check for hidden money, tear off the backs of all paintings and pictures looking for hidden money (even if it is still sealed from the manufacturer) and they still want top dollar for them. Greedy pricks.
People often think that Goodwill is a charity. It is not. If you want to Thrift Shop for a good cause, try the ARC, St Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army , or lots of local thrift shops that help fight domestic violence. Just not Goodwill. Like you said they're a bunch greedy pricks
goodwill is the biggest scam corp in America...pay their CEOs megamillions... send all good stuff to corp headquarters to be auctioned off to highest bidder....pay no taxes....big scam like no tax paying scientology
Baba Ganush Oh I’m sure that you are correct. Human nature would cause greed. They would even pay for the item to avoid guilty feelings. Such as $10 for the mink jackets etc.
Thank you so much for the update on the Jackson Pollock picture. There’s been much speculation about that painting over the years and I’m so happy to know they were able to find the fingerprint proving it genuine. I admire that woman’s perseverance and a good taste in art work.
Sorry, but I read where the same forensic art group that claimed to have found that too-perfectly matched Pollock fingerprint has been accused of fraud in later cases. When it sounds to good to be true, it often is, (especially when potential Big Bucks is involved).
Actually, the Jackson Pollock painting was purchased in a thrift store. Teri was going to sell it at a yard sale when it would not fit in the home of the friend she was going to give it to. A local art teacher saw it and told her it might be an original. The forensic investigator also found a matching partial matching print on a photo of a Jackson Pollock painting in an art book. pretty amazing. Jackson Pollock's brother used to live in southern california not that far from where the thrift store was located.
I found an ancient Chinese painting in my basement. It’s priceless. *AND BEHIND THAT PAINTING IS THE ORIGINAL ANIMATION CEL OF MICKEY MOUSE PLANE CRAZY THAT I DEFINITELY FOUND! AND BEHIND THAT ANIMATION CEL IS THE CERTIFICATE FOR THE PEPSI COMPANY! AND BEHIND THA-*
I've been buying from yard sales and thrifting for 5 maybe 6 years. I've found bought and sold tons of items for several hundred. Some in the thousands. Nothing 10 or even 5 thousand yet.
Last Summer I bought a camera in mint condition unused in a box all the original bits with it a Contax T something I forget the whole name now, for £5 at boot sale near my town in Sussex England. To cut a long story short, I did my research, took it to a camera shop in Oxford Street in London and it was bought from me for £600 KEERRRRRCHING !!!!!! I have now found several things at Jumble sales, boot fairs etc and sold them for huge profits. I am still waiting for that BIG ONE though ha ha ha !!! 😁😁😁❤️🇬🇧
My grandma left me a few J.constable paintings, but she told me to hold on to them and never tell anyone how many we had. She even used a couple as firewood. I never understood why until she was sick and passing away. She said that to be smart and keep my promise so that the paintings value would increase and explained that if a large number came on to the market all at once the value would decrease. I miss my grandma.
the elvis record maybe $10 if it is excellent condition. i make a living off vintage music and now every tom, dick and harry has scoured the world for old lp's and they don't bring what they did say 5 to 10 years ago.
I picked up a massive collection of NES-SNES games from an off the beaten path yard sale that had a small pile of Wii games like Zelda, Smash, Mario Kart. I asked for older stuff and was told to come back tomorrow. Well the next day I went back and was shocked to see 2 large bins FULL of NES and SNES carts waiting for me =) I looked at the snes stuff and knew it was unpicked from before 2000. (Mighty Final Fight, Demon;s Crest, Super Metroid) I didnt even look at the NES games. I bought them all and did an unboxing video of the NES games that same day. (See my vids) All in all I got 160 SNES games, 220 NES games and a few random PS1 RPGs.
Hmm Sotheby's has NO clue. Back in 2003 my boyfriend and I used to attend auctions. He found a rolled up Declaration in a tube. Purchased it for 54.00. I thought it was fake. It turned out that this was one of the original Stone Copies from the 1840s. He sold it to a high end collector in DC for a great amount of money. The man was affiliated with the DC museums. We went to Sotheby's to have it appraised beforehand. They said it was a fake.
@@carollynt this had clear provenance. anyone could see this was a valuable item. item was made on vellum and was signed by had John Adams writing on the top. they honestly have no clue
Damn, Without the signature on it I most likely had thrown away the cross-eyed Warhol scetch. And I definitely would not have seen the value of number 1, but I would have kept it. But I would have seen at least some value in most of the other finds. My favorites: Picasso at the trailor park (that´s funny, BTW nice painting) Lost Faberge egg at the flee market for 5 bucks (that´s probably the most painful)
I went to a flea market once, some guy had old silver coins that I was looking at buying. When I asked him the price, he told me they cost face value of the coins. I was shocked. So silver dollars cost me a dollar, silver quarters cost me a quarter, and so on. I spent about thirty bucks and when silver prices skyrocketed, I sold them and made over $400. Not a bad turnover.

The finder of the Jackson Pollack painting, Terri Horton died in July of 2019, she never sold the painting. She had been offered up to $9million for it, but was holding out for $50 million. She was living in poverty, begging for money, but stubborn to the end, her son will probably sell the painting!
Gore Vidal, famously said of Andy Warhol, "Andy Warhol is the only genius I've known with an IQ of 60" In an age of manipulated art markets, Real talent gets second place to hype.
Your comment is four years old I hope that life finds you happy and healthy. Did your Ramen bowl sale allow you to retire to somewhere fabulous? Maybe to Trump tower in NYC?
I got a 100 year old full unopened bottle of whiskey at a yard sale for $60 which is a lot of money so I almost didn't get it. A antique appraiser told me it's worth $1,500.
+Jett A Angeles Dont listen to this fool. Take 2 min to google the highest selling media right now, and you will find it is vinyl. They are very valuable at this moment.
+Andloo Yunty I think it would depend on the record, and what kind of shape it's in. I own a record by AC/DC that I bought in the 80's, it's never even been opened, know what it's worth/ Whatever I say it's worth since you won't find another like it.
If the sale went big and public where the garage sale person has wanted to hang themself over their stupidity (in their mind they’d feel stupid) it would be a great thing to give them a cut.
i bought a rare 1921 s walking liberty half dollar coin from a pawn shop for 200$ in uncerculated ms condition and sold it at an auction for 67,000$ that was the best i got so far
That's a stupid comment! We just watched a video about other interesting things that were bought for a cheap price and were found out to be worth a lot more.

So I have a (1755) Swedish hope chest beautifully built and painted in a gorgeous blue and rusty red colors with my Great (x6 times) Grandma’s name and year- artfully painted across the face with very intricate paint work. Some areas natural wood grain shows and not painted but stained letting grain show. Inside perfect condition cedar? With a built in storage box on one end with sewing kit, thimbles, and pieces of fabrics and doilies etc probably as old as the trunk. I’ve only googled to find similar and I’ve found almost exact construction it has an arched top. Top of the trunk is curved/arched. I found prices of auction sold examples as high as 60k. I did not look into this until highlight videos from those traveling road shows were recommended in my suggested videos feed. Yes, a family heirloom but really no one to leave it to that would sell it before my funeral so I might as well take further steps to investigate this incredible chest.
Yorkshire is not pronounced York Shy-er, but as York 'shur' I like your lists and I might even contribute to them since I own a very unusual piece of art.
So what does this tell you ? the people cant verify the price of a painting unless they can verify who created it. Picasso could have painted a big FU on a white sheet of paper and it will be sold for millions. they appreciate who was the artist who painted it and not what was painted. that's not art.
My dad knew this guy that was at a garage sale and he saw a motorcycle. A old lady was selling it for 2,000. He looked under the seat and saw a gold signed autograph that was once was Michael Jackson's. It was sold at a auction for 12 million. You should search it up and maybe put it in a video!
Tony Marohn, the guy that found the Palmer Union Oil Company stock, died in 2010 but his family took up the fight to try to get the $130 million dollars from Coca Cola. They lost their case though due to unnoticed reverse stock splits so they ended up getting nothing for it except for a shit load of attorney fees they now have to pay.
+sofuggit The owners die then someone comes along, a relative most of the time and takes all the stuff but does not know what it's worth, they have kids and those kids grow up and sell their parents stuff at a garage sell for 5 bucks etc...
