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.

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.
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.
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 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-*
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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 !!! 😁😁😁❤️🇬🇧

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 $1,500.
i bought a rare 1921 s walking liberty half dollar coin from a pawn shop for 200$ 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.
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.

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.
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!
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.

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).

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.
pretty sure the faberge egg wasn't found in a flea market. there is no chance in the world an item of that kind would end up in a place like that, simply because it's easy to tell it's gold, and whoever owned it in the first place surely knew its value. maybe not exactly, but certainly well enough to have it appraised by an art dealer, and not by random people strolling by in a flea market. you can make good deals in flea markets, I've actually made a living buying stuff there and reselling it online, but you're not going to find work of arts that are worth 6 figures. exceptions obviously exist, but they're so rare that they only confirm the rule. most of the items shown on this video were either proved fakes eventually, or were not ever found in a flea market. I've been thrifting for over a decade, and I know what I say.
oh my god, you guys have no idea how to pronounce names of English towns and counties. You said, "Ru-e-slip and Pine-r" they're pronounced Rye-slip and Pin-ner! Fuck me! This isn't the first time either! lol
*The 'Oil Stock' share that 'evolved' into 'Coke' stock? Yeah...that's actually happened over a hundred times since WW2, and it's worth NOTHING!* *The 'Pollock' 'mess-terpiece?'* *It's maybe 'up-there' but there are others just like it...which in turn devalues all of them* )( *Something interesting happened in the last ten-years...a woman happened to look at one of the 'abstracts' and said 'Well, I don't see how anyone could say it's 'unsigned' because his name's RIGHT THERE! and traced the air over the 'squiggles'in the width of the piece..."See? It says 'Pollock'" something that no one had ever noticed before, despite every critic and evaluator on Earth looking at it year after year!* )
Does anyone besides me feel "depressed" after watching a video like this? I mean, think of the yard sales, thrift shops, estate sales you've ventured into, buying something you THINK is the be all, end all of antiques, or a valued treasure, etc., only to find out it's JUNK! That your $2.00 bargain is really GARBAGE! Oh well ... who knows ... maybe this computer I'm typing this on, will be worth, Oh, I don't know, $50 dollars one day! YIPPEE!
All Good, but when it got to Terry Horton (Jackson Pollock Painting) things got a little strange. Some facts are not straight. WW says.. Yard sale (Terry herself says Thrift store in LA) secondly it was not her friend (How lives in a trailer, and could not fit the painting through the door, and pointed out that she hated it) that ID the painting. It was an art teacher driving past when they tried to put it into a skip. Fact Check... or if you can't bother to read, watch "Who the #$%^ is Jackson Pollock" at least you can hear Terry speak for herself!
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.
Lol, and to think that my mother and law thought she lost when selling a chair, lifting up and down for 10 bucks. Next day, buyer sold for $1100 on ebay. Ouch, she'd kick my ass if I brought it up.

53 million for a stupid vase damn that is absolutely sickening
pounds wich is like 100million dollars
I'm gonna start going to yard sales 😅
I have a couple of long boxes full of baseball cards. Maybe I should go through them with a beckett and see what their worth is.
My Mom Had a Las Vegas Garage sale 2 weeks 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.
One really must be careful when unloading things for a yard sale or the like or when purchasing seemingly ordinary art items.
I feel bad about the people who sold these tings for cheap
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.
Its actually "Shire" British foeget english.
Look it up
+angel lopez Shut the fuck up, no it is not.
MadHatter yea it is you un educated butthurt asswipe
Good thing that no one on this list found a grenade...
And flushed it down the toilet...
*Ah* , 4chan...
You've done some messed up things. ;_;
Skippertomtom exactly

Lol
I have a rookie Gretzky card signed card number 99!! One day my kids will find this card in the attic
The first Chinese product that actually lasted long...
I find these kinda stories pricelessly fascinating!!
Americans trying to pronounce english places kills me
Same thing with u guys lol
This guy specifically just pronounces stuff idiotically, even American places, and Americans can usually pronounce English places perfectly.
+Alex Armstrong America sees the same here. Foreigners trying to pronounce places in the US can be pretty comical too. My maiden name is Armstrong. Maybe we're related :p
+sofuggit You´re a genius. Comparing US-british with US-foreigners. So USA.

Thanks :)
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).
Yet she died never selling the painting due to her greed despite receiving three million dollars offer.
My dad has a collection of about 1000+ vinyl records. I bet if he sells those, he'd get millions too.
+Jett A Angeles not really, used records go for about $5 each
CHI DEZZA Way to bring my hopes down lol.
+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.
+Stephen N
Haha nope. My local book store sells used records at $0.25 a piece.
+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.

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 $400. Not a bad turnover.
im wondering whether my eveready spot flashlight is worth anything i CANT find it anywhere on the internet
it's a fucking flashlight
no shit sherlock
What was one persons garbage, was another persons fortune.
garbage these days worth more than people lives
I love videos like this.
Art teacher and a business man buying from garage sales ... yeaaah righto gov!
pretty sure the faberge egg wasn't found in a flea market. there is no chance in the world an item of that kind would end up in a place like that, simply because it's easy to tell it's gold, and whoever owned it in the first place surely knew its value. maybe not exactly, but certainly well enough to have it appraised by an art dealer, and not by random people strolling by in a flea market.
you can make good deals in flea markets, I've actually made a living buying stuff there and reselling it online, but you're not going to find work of arts that are worth 6 figures. exceptions obviously exist, but they're so rare that they only confirm the rule.
most of the items shown on this video were either proved fakes eventually, or were not ever found in a flea market. I've been thrifting for over a decade, and I know what I say.
oh my god, you guys have no idea how to pronounce names of English towns and counties. You said, "Ru-e-slip and Pine-r" they're pronounced Rye-slip and Pin-ner! Fuck me! This isn't the first time either! lol
Wtf do you say pounds but show USD? Make up your mind.
I found a working Teddy Ruxpin (with the book) at a garage sale for 20$
$20*
both ways are right
+brjasmine19 no you're wrong
I found a grammar nazi in this comment.
+SqualidTuberGames how much can i buy it for?
as somebody that lives in Ruislip its pronounced rye-slip and Pinner is pin-err.
You put that stupid, ugly, plain bowl at number 1 and a IMPERIAL FABERGE EGG at number 2????????????
What are y'all smokin' out there???????
The background music is annoying as hell.
Yup. Big time.
man i wish i found the golden egg i would be so rich
*The 'Oil Stock' share that 'evolved' into 'Coke' stock? Yeah...that's actually happened over a hundred times since WW2, and it's worth NOTHING!* *The 'Pollock' 'mess-terpiece?'* *It's maybe 'up-there' but there are others just like it...which in turn devalues all of them* )( *Something interesting happened in the last ten-years...a woman happened to look at one of the 'abstracts' and said 'Well, I don't see how anyone could say it's 'unsigned' because his name's RIGHT THERE! and traced the air over the 'squiggles'in the width of the piece..."See? It says 'Pollock'" something that no one had ever noticed before, despite every critic and evaluator on Earth looking at it year after year!* )
guess who is going to raid a bunch of garage sales
Does anyone besides me feel "depressed" after watching a video like this?
I mean, think of the yard sales, thrift shops, estate sales you've ventured into, buying something you THINK is the be all, end all of antiques, or a valued treasure, etc., only to find out it's JUNK! That your $2.00 bargain is really GARBAGE!
Oh well ... who knows ... maybe this computer I'm typing this on, will be worth, Oh, I don't know, $50 dollars one day! YIPPEE!
Have a clay gublet about 4ft high dated back to 13 century with 2 arme around it
Have a seal GS or GC8n a circle
I'm just gonna go garage sale hunting now....
All Good, but when it got to Terry Horton (Jackson Pollock Painting) things got a little strange. Some facts are not straight. WW says.. Yard sale (Terry herself says Thrift store in LA) secondly it was not her friend (How lives in a trailer, and could not fit the painting through the door, and pointed out that she hated it) that ID the painting. It was an art teacher driving past when they tried to put it into a skip. Fact Check... or if you can't bother to read, watch "Who the #$%^ is Jackson Pollock" at least you can hear Terry speak for herself!
15 people out of 8 billion got lucky
The way you say Salisbury makes me cry... It's pronounced (sols-burry)
Like we care
i need find something as well
Why was the bowl #1? The Imperial Egg is more interesting, as we're many others.
+Darth NoPants "were" ......stupid spell correct.
the bowl was 1000 years old.
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.
Lol, and to think that my mother and law thought she lost when selling a chair, lifting up and down for 10 bucks. Next day, buyer sold for $1100 on ebay. Ouch, she'd kick my ass if I brought it up.
These stories always make me wonder 'HOW AND WHEN DID THESE PRICEY ARTIFACTS LEAVE THE OWNER THAT KNEW THEIR WORTH?' How DOES that happen?
+sofuggit It´s called "life"... life hapenned...
The Zeptetis
Obviously. But the circumstances would still be interesting.
+sofuggit let it be any gold - melted and reused numerous times, changed destiny, gave joy (or pain) etc. ;)
+sofuggit That's easy, ever heard of death?
+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...
Hideous cabinet! I would love to have found the Declaration if Independence...or the beautiful Chinese vase...Mazarin chest...lol I’d never be so lucky. Not a fan of Pollock or baseball cards. Or Faberge eggs. Picky, picky, picky.
How can number 15 be on the list when and I quote the title of this video is "15 garage sale items that sold for MILLIONS" but 15 didn't even sell for 1m!!?
