Bargain Hunt has proved to be a treasure trove for valuable lost items but one of the biggest financial wins saw a 25p book sold for thousands of pounds. Just a few years ago one of the show's fans made headlines when they sold a first-edition Harry Potter book.
The hardback copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was one of just 500 published by Bloomsbury in June 1997. Of the 500 printed, 300 were given to libraries - including the rare edition that was sold on Bargain Hunt in 2020.
The book was bought by an office worker from a jumble sale for just 25p. It then sat on their desk for more than 20 years, according to DevonLive.
