Chinese Libation Cup: $75,640
This next incident is one that happened back in the year 2013. This anonymous person from Australia had gone to a thrift shop in the city of Sydney. There, a very weird looking cup took his attention so he contemplated on buying the cup. Since he found out that the cup was just for $4 to buy, he decided to take it home that very day. He went on the internet to learn more and do research on the cup he had just purchased. He soon found out that it was a libation cup that dated back to the 17th century China. It has also been carved with the use of rhinoceros horn. Because of its history and how it was made, the value of the cup was indeed hefty. He went to auction off the cup and sold it for an incredible price of $75,640 Australian dollars. The previous owner would have definitely regretted ever selling this ‘peculiar’ cup.
