He found a $30 Million jewel in a flea market  

Shit don't add up chief

When he bought it it was probably unconfirmed gold too

You might be surprised. The old man sitting on a rickety old lawn chair with an umbrella taped to it might have ten million dollars of farm equipment at home.

An old man in sheep's clothing

And for an egg. Sounds like bs

There was dope art behind goodwill bout to rain so I took them Still got em today

I bought a painting and took it to a shop that sells paintings. Made an agreement to split the profit with the owner and made 25 times what I paid

Well, your first mistake was going to Goodwill. Despite the name and the image they've worked so hard to make over the last however many years they've been operating, they consistently fail to meet the requirements to actually be a 503c charitable organization. The issue is, the fine they pay on a yearly basis is only a small fraction of their profits and in no way incentivizes them to change their behavior.

Good will takes items for free from rich people are sells them to the poor for a profit, you would think a charity would be giving stuff away... ceo makes bank as well

Negative profit

Nope I have seen people selling expensive things at fleet markets. They are just looking for the right customer or it's a talking point. My dad bought an old working hand pump for $8,000 it was a great deal.

*I have 1 of the 7 missing eggs but don’t know where to go to sell it, someone help!!!*

@@strongestnattyever-videos2247you’ll make profit but in negative

@@strongestnattyever-videos2247just sell it to me for 20 bucks

Probably just sent his revtag

Nah lol we do not. Idk where you're from but it ain't like that here

@@simplyhappy420 someone completely missed the joke.

It's right next to the 50cent- bin.

You’d be surprised at what all can be bought at some flea markets. They aren’t exclusively dime stores…lol.

A LOT of those booths are being used as the persons legitimate store. It’s significantly less expensive than trying to lease a building. Traffic at flea markets can be very high. This allows sellers to maintain a low overhead, leaving more profit overall. Your flea market booth can carry expensive items or cheap dime store type products. What and how you want to sell it is your business.

I've spent 190,000 one time

That's a classic

I spent over 900,000 once.

Did you make $30 million

The man didn’t spend usd 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Maybe you should quit making worthless comments on RU-vid and get out there and get a job you bum. 14k is nothing. 😂😂😂

Money isnt real. You can put mere in front of any amount and its the same. The real value is within, brother.

@@goofygooferson7834 well tell me how to channel my inner money and make it external money, cause right now it ain't within, it's without.

@@V4p3rcl0ud the answers you seek, you already know. All you do is have to listen

@@goofygooferson7834 ah yes, I'll just use the force, why didn't I think of that.

😂 dumbazsz

Also, he paid 14,000 to possibly meltdown for gold in the gold weigh like 3 ounces lol

​@QBZ OG take risks for rewards my friend.

Probably Ruples. That's less than $200 US

He was probably looking for old jewelry and old watches that people didn’t know where valuable so he could melt down the gold saw how much gold was in the egg and decided it was worth it. It’s not that crazy. The whole point of flea markets, you never know what you’re going to find.

Somethings not adding up here 😂 they must not realize how many old bbq’s and washing machines they’d have to pull for that kind of money

As a shopper at Flea Markets I agree with you sir! 😁

that's how you know this story is bs. it probably happened but I can guarantee it wasn't in a flea market.

Also this story is from before the 2000’s and, right around then 14k was the price of a car

Just to melt it down, no less

yep if you don't bring the bag with you there's no point buying cause you won't make profit so u gotta go big

I’m Dutch and can paint. When do I start?

​@@borates youll have to die after painting maybe 10-30 paintings. The value increases after death because then you can't create anymore paintings lol. I guess you could try to fake your death or pretend to be your twin or sibling to sell them? 🤷‍♀️ You'll probably be caught though and end up in prison. So... sorry. Van Gogh could never sell his paintings while alive and even begged his landlord to take a painting in place of rent for a month and the landlord declined... Ooo, if you die tragically and young, you could very well start selling your paintings for 100s of thousands and eventually in the millions one day. Auction houses are the best.... And you'll need to have your own style and be actually talented... Unless you go into avant garde abstract where a canvas painted in red with a line of blue at the top will sell for millions. Wait... 🤔😧🤑 Ignore my first suggestion, just go into avant garde abstract and paint colors. Then get really good at bullshitting people. Youll need to do interviews and whenever an art critic or journalist walks up to you at an exhibit to ask, "What is the meaning behind this painting?" You'll need to respond with something like, "the red filling the canvas represents the anguish i feel in my soul. It's my constant internal fight for hapiness. The blue line at the top is a satire of "feeling blue" and represents the calm that i so rarely get in my mind. The blue isn't happiness, but it's being comfortable with myself. The blue being in a thin line represents how difficult it is to follow that path." You can always go with the cliché of "Every interpretation is correct. Whatever you felt and interpreted from my art is correct." Lol

your friend and his buyer got the right circle to sell it. he knows about the market that want it while the seller that sell it for 5$ have now market and knowledge about it

Yes. Exactly! Your friend has his expertise in different kind of antiques and interests. Thats the game to be a Collector. You have extended knowledge at some things and less in others. It goes both ways. Nice story. Thanks for sharing 😊

Good to be here. Thanks

So do I 😂😂🎉

😂😂😂😂

Me too.

The utter insanity of saying "a mere $14,000" gets me hard.

@@RyanDesjarlais 😆

😄😂

@@johneneojowilliams5081 It may seem comical to you buddy. However carrying that much cash in my wallet resulted in a serious back injury when I sat down on the bus.

@@Cleatus546I had to get a silver hip replacement from carrying $69Mil exactly in gold on me to Walmart every day, I feel your pain brother😥

Oh good one but not usd

IT'S CALLED TOILET PAPER

How much are they worth now? Over 100k?

its a mere 14k

😂

😅😂😂 yesss, it was a good one 👏🏻

😂😂

Sounds like it wasn’t a flea market. But a scrap metal yard.

this kind of thing is what happens when democrats/communists are allowed to take over a country

Legitimate dealers don't sell a high value piece in a cash and carry boot sale

​@@vmcurry1, you would be surprised what's for sale at boot or flea markets. Was in business for 30yrs and you build contacts and friendships with different dealers. Some of my best finds and hidden jewels were from boot/flea market seller's.

There are so many things wrong with your comment. I can't be bothered to debunk it all. You can have it.

​​@@danielj7013 Right.

You must be living in CA like most of us lol

No body scraping has 14k, they would not be scraping if they did.

​@@user-rn3rn6nl3h thats not true lol

​@@1DS9 scrapers are not smart

@north over typically they are not, tho some people do it on the side, and make bank thru other professions

@@user-rn3rn6nl3h You realize that jewelers and pawn shops buy scrap gold , then resell the scrap gold for use in new jewelry? This guy isn't dumpster diving. He's buying gold watches.

You will never find anything 0ver $100 at a flea market. If the seller knew it was worth $10,000 he would have sold it at an antic dealer

In the UK flea markets are more like outdoor antique shops, you aren’t getting anything for less than £50/£100 and there’s plenty of stuff that goes into thousands

@@chuckkiephan6880 clearly you’ve never been to one before

@@chuckkiephan6880 my daughter and I go to the huge flea market in our area sometimes when we’re bored and they sell real gold, diamonds, $4k dogs, vehicles, antiques sometimes up too $10k, etc..

@@chuckkiephan6880 what the heck is an antic dealer? 🤣

Considering its overall value it is pretty small.

Personally, I never go to a flea market with less than 25,000 dollars cash...Hey, you never know....

@@sambarris5615 Lmao the max amount I bring to flea markets is like $250 lol

I was looking for coins on the street to buy some food, I saw this man selling a diamond for 100k so I bought the diamond.

@@stimulatemyexistence5669 ... pardon me for using an aphorism. " All that glitters is not gold "

Looking for scrap gold

@@ericschulze5641I don't know about you, but $ 14,000 doesn't sound like " scrap " to me LOL

@Nicholas Xavier he probably goes every week, and buys a few hundred to a few thousand from various dealers, most likely he knew what he found and hit the ATM before making an offer, also the dealer obviously knew he had something quite valuable just didn't know how valuable, cmon use your head

So how much did he sell it???

My uncle fits this exact description as well

Really? Jave you been to EVERY one in the world? Didn't think so stfu.

You goto some weak flea markets then

Uneducated, my wife and I go regularly and there are plenty of items that go for $10,000+ easily.

@@fattymatty823You aren’t in the U.S. then are you

Ripples

Not this claptrap again.

😂😂😂😂😂

No he actually paid USD. It was an antiques market, not a normal flea market. Also the guy recognized the watchmaker Vacheron Constantin, which is one of the major Swiss watch makers, so even without knowing it was a faberge egg it was obvious that this was worth a fair amount.

I think you misspelled rubles. Also he paid US dollars.

He probably mend 14000 Rupees.

"Honey, remember that ugly, stupid egg my mother left me in her will, some idiot bought it for $14,000...what a fool!"

He was looking for scrap , he didn't buy it as scrap he bought it as a piece of art. These guys know what thier doing, & most flea market dealers don't, thier actually people who clean out houses when people die ,& then sell the clean out stuff at the flea market

And we have a bingo . ! Sharp mind friend
