Brendan Spaar has been known to score a good deal at thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army but this one is beyond belief. Would you believe that someone dropped off a piece of art signed by famed painter Salvador Dali at a Goodwill store in Tacoma Washington? Well it happened. Someone dropped off a rare framed etching signed by Dali complete with a certificate of authenticity. Now you may be wondering how such high value items end up at Goodwill. It could be that this piece of art was part of a deceased family member's estate and the easiest thing to do was to donate it all to Goodwill. This is far from the first time something like this has happened. People are finding money and jewlery in coat pockets. The article points out that an original sketch painting by Andy Warhol was picked up at a garage sale in Las Vegas. This just goes to show that the saying "one man's trash is another's treasure" is actually true.
