Man bought Goodwill painting for $3; it later sold for $190,000

In a remarkable twist of fate, a former antiques dealer purchased a painting for just $3, suspecting it held greater value. Appraisers on Antiques Roadshow estimated its worth between $20,000 and $30,000, but the auction result astonished everyone, fetching $190,000. This stunning Flemish piece, dating back to around 1650, serves as a testament to the hidden gems that can be discovered in thrift shops and donation centers.
