Velvet Underground
Warren Hill, a Canadian vinyl collector, has always been on the look for rare records selling around New York City street sales. He never had much luck ever since, though. Not until he noticed a Velvet Underground test-pressing on a deal just across the street. This vinyl was only intended to be seen by the record label and the distributor. He was able to buy it for 75 cents only. Little did he know that vinyl records are now a fortune. Eventually, he sold it on eBay for $25,000!
Nintendo Game: Stadium Events
Jennifer Thompson was able to purchase the Nintendo game Stadium Events from a North Carolina thrift store for just $8. She was just browsing clothes and some DVDs when she stumbled on the Nintendo game. When the woman attempted to pay her purchased items, the staff almost offered all the money in the register to exchange it. The woman had no idea that all the game collectors were dying to get this Stadium Events game. Later on, someone purchased it from her at $25,000, and she couldn’t believe it!
