An Edinburgh sculpture was bought for £20,000 by a British man who didn't realise he was accidentally bidding against himself.
Gareth Palmer made the mistake of entering into a bidding war with both of his accounts in October 2021 after ending up on eBay following a bottle of wine. However, the 62-year-old, from Derby, is now set to make a huge profit on his hilarious error, with the sculpture now valued at over a staggering £100,000.
Speaking about the purchase, Gareth explained that he had been browsing online when he came across the unique piece called "Twisting by the Pool" by renowned Scots sculptor Malcolm Robertson.
