Vase woman buys for $3.99 at Virginia thrift shop sells for more than $100,000
Jessica Vincent, who bought the rare item at a Goodwill, said: ‘I had a sense that it might be a $1,000 or $2,000 piece’
A woman who bought a glass vase for $3.99 at a local Goodwill charity shop has seen the piece auctioned off for more than $100,000 after it turned out to be a rare and valuable piece of Italian glassware.
Jessica Vincent had bought the item at a Goodwill thrift store in Hanover county, Virginia, and had an inkling that it might have been worth a little more than was usual, she told the New York Times.
“I had a sense that it might be a $1,000 or $2,000 piece, but I had no clue how good it actually was until I did a little bit more research,” she told the paper after noticing a small ‘M’ on its bottom which she suspected might stand for Murano, an Italian island near Venice famed for glasswork.

Phht. Amateurs. I'll buy a vase for 100 grand only to later discover it's true worth of 3,99.
It might be, they just might not have 100k to spare for a vase.
Nonsense, who hasn't got some hundred grands to throw away? That's just what vases cost, right?
I.. uh.. have a vase for sale.. If you're interested.
Hmmm... I sense dishonesty. Are you sure it's a worthless low quality vase and your price will be exaggerated and obscensely high? 🤔 Like nowadays popular fashion-brands?
