    Maybe the stuff is not always passed off, rather its owner possibly falls ill or dies. Sometimes people just don't have space to hold onto a dead relative's belongings... all kinds of scenarios but in any event, thrift stores are full of treasures. 😄

      As a Goodwill employee of over 12 years,I’ve seen some really awesome items come through that were donated by families of recently passed. As you said,they don’t want to deal with it or don’t know or care what the items are.

    Same kind of story: Simply walking down a thrift store's stairs and looked over at 2 small framed pieces that looked to me French. I paid $2 for both.
    Got home and analyzed them. They are original Joan Miro from Barcelona, Spain. Valued $8,000+ and they are only 4x6" each.

    Yeah, the water dispenser with the RED add water is a warning light. So I wouldn't keep testing it to show that the warning light shows that is operating. It's like starting your car without antifreeze coolant and the red light warning you of overheating is displayed on your dash. Warning lights have a purpose. Also same as a sink garbage disposal, if you don't use it with running water, the unit will overheat and burn out.

If it’s a curated piece the more likely they are to go up in value. I found a guy at one of my local art galleries and he has been extremely helpful letting me know what pieces are valuable. That is probably the first place I would suggest you start. Have fun and thanks for watching!!

    I'm sorry but this is total nonsense. There is no way on earth that this watercolor painting is worth $7000. I have serious doubts that it is even worth $700. Almost no one pays as much as $300 for a watercolor. And I do not believe this artist is in the pricey category described here. Do galleries attempt to get unrealistically high prices for art? Of course they do.

      Galleries giving an estimate is just that. Realized price is the only real source of value. 9/10 this would be passed in an auction. I would be surprised if the realized price was anywhere near the estimated price of $7k.
