I recently discovered a youtube news video, where a man claimed to have purchased an 18th Century music consule that belonged to Princess Ka'iulani (would be successor to Queen Lili'uokalani ~ overthrown Hawaiian Queen). His purchase was made at a local Goodwill for only $100. He later discovered that the consule actually belonged to Queen Lili'uokalani (who had a short reign from 1891-1893 after the death of her brother King David Kalakaua).
Shortly after making his purchase, the man put the music consule up on ebay for 6.5 million dollars. After discovering that the item actually belonged to the queen, he bumped the item price to 12.5 million dollars. You may view the music consule on ebay HERE (item no. 360202758398).
The youtube video can be viewed below:
wow that's crazy. wish i could find something like that. That's kind of like the story i just read a few weeks ago where a woman sold an original nintendo with 5 games. the price went to something like $13,500 turns out one of the games was a hot collectors item with only 5 left in existence. Which I could find something like that
