Seriously, this happened again. Someone bought a little trinket in an antique shop for a few bucks, and it turns out to be worth thousands of dollars.
Purchased for $25, This Bargain Brooch Could Sell for $19,000—Thanks to ‘Antiques Roadshow’
"Over 30 years ago, Flora Steel bought a unique brooch at an English antique market for just under £20 (roughly $25). At the time, she didn’t know it was designed by William Burges, a storied Victorian-era Gothic Revival designer.
Now, thanks to a chance viewing of an old “Antiques Roadshow” clip, the brooch is projected to sell for up to $19,000.
Made of silver, lapis lazuli, malachite and coral, the brooch is flat and circular with a cross through its middle, according to a statement from Gildings, which will auction it in the spring."

So if you see something that looks like this on sale -- cheap -- buy it!
