At a garage sale a bowl had sold for $3 was then sold for 2.2 million dollars. This bowl only has one other one and it is at a British museum and it is also in perfect condition. It's Chinese. The bowl is decorated on the inside and outside, which is also very rare. They compared the bowls and the one at the British museum is part of a very famous collection. They could tell that they came from the same person. The auctioneer was shocked he got an email, from the family that wants to stay unknown, saying WOW and then a next line WOW with a line of explanation points.

That is crazy that something sold for that but it also kind of stinks because he only ended up selling it for 3$ haha.
thats really cool! i feel bad for the guy that sold it he could have been a millionaire.
i would be very angry if i was the person who sold it at a garage sale.
Just goes to show that not everyone knows what they are buying, or selling for that matter, crazy people these days, crazy people.
I would be very disappointed if I had sold that.
