Its a shame that, cos I was kinda hoping I'd find something like an original Picasso with a 50 pence sticker on it LOL
Picasso with a 50 pence price tag, haha. I think stuff like that might have happened. Too lazy to check if google offers any stories, but i am sure there are cases where something extremely valuable ends up accidentally being sold on a flea market or a backyard sale, heh.
