What a pleasant surprise. I am sure Goodwill are learning too and will be googling artists names before slapping $9. price tags on them. Who knows perhaps they do not have the staff and bargains will prevail.
I went to our local thrift store today and I'm pretty sure the items I brought home were not that valuable. I got some vintage linens which I love. Some people have all the luck, don't they? ---------- Shannon
I love thrift stores...especially Goodwill. I once found some signed photographs by a local photographer for $3 at the local St. Vincent DePaul. They were worth over $50 each at least, I was told by another photographer. They are really beautiful photographs so I have them in my home...didn't resell them or anything. This lady in the article really scored big! I love thrift stores -- in fact I am planning a trip to our local Savers tomorrow....30% off day!
What a find.... sounds like a God thing too.. He does have divine appointments for us to bless us that we miss so often... SO glad this lady didnt miss her's. YAYAYAYA great story! have a grand day! I think Im off now to Good will! HEHEHEHEHEH

Haha, I so wish that was me ... or at least you ;) and that you shared it 50/50 with me! Can you imagine that lady finding that?!?!
WOW is right! My best was a diamond ring at auction. I paid $150 for it and it appraised at $2000!

Hit the jackpot, which is awesome, but bleck that sure is a UGLY painting, haha.
Never did modern art much, but love the big score.
Thanks, Grammy.
