Bowl bought at yard sale for $35 is authentic rare Ming dynasty and actually worth $300-500k

I always find these to be dick moves, hopefully the “antiques hunter” who bought it actually compensates old Agnes with a $100k or something.
- ya, these stories bug me too. A teacher I had at art school found a tom thompson painting at garage sale for $10Gnash
- He didn't compensate the people and I never looked at him the same way againGnash
- fyi - it wasn't one of his finished paintings, it was one of the 1000's of studies he painted on site. on a board that fit in his caseGnash

- nice find but yeah, it says a lot about a person's character._niko
- it all depends on if they can actually sell it for that amount. It's worth that, but who would buy it?jmckinno
