Carpet Carpet John Karserano from Chicago (USA) in his free time is visited by second-hand, commission stores and garage sales to find a valuable antiques that is sold there for a penny. Then he sells these trophies at a higher price, writes Newsweek.

In October 2024, the man found a rectangular porcelain plate in the Goodwill Commission store, which was sold a thousand times cheaper than the market price - for only $ 5.

Karserano guessed that in fact this thing is much more expensive. To check his guess, he uploaded a photo of the purchase on Google and found similar pictures on the Internet. It turned out that such products made in the XVIII century in China are actually very rare. Over the past 50 years, such lots have been put up for auctions only twice.

Later this find was studied by specialists from Sotheby's and Bonhams and Leslie Hindman Auctioneers. They are sure that this is a rectangle of beveled angles exported stem in the shape of a rectangle with a rectangle in about 1755, when Emperor Zianlun ruled by China.

Experts believe that such a lot can buy for at least five thousand dollars. John Karserano thinks about whether to put a plate for auction Sotheby's or try to sell it on your own.

Recall, a 30-year-old American from Miluoka (Wisconsin, USA) could not believe her eyes when she noticed a wooden figure in the form of a cat in the form of used things in a second-hand.. The woman immediately remembered a very similar toy that she found in the same store three years ago.

But the 26-year-old Jannah Christine from New York (USA) found a vintage sweater in a rubber for $ 48 for a second-hand. The thing was in fairly good condition, so the woman sincerely believed that she was making a profitable purchase. Arriving home and carefully examined everything, she was deeply disappointed.
