As the old saying goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Last week, one woman’s thrift shop vase became her bounty when a Chicago auction house sold it for more than $100,000.
While shopping at a Goodwill store in Hanover County, Virginia, in June, Jessica Vincent noticed a large glass vase with red and green spirals on it. She didn’t think much of it at first, but when she looked closer and realized the glass was iridescent, she knew she had to have it. She bought it for a paltry $3.99.
