A Berlin college student apparently had the ultimate thrift-score. Turns out that a beat-up old sofa bed she bought at a flea market for 150 euros (US$216) had a baroque painting tucked in the mattress.
The painting sold at auction this week for 19,200 euros (US$27,660.) From Reuters: "She used the sofa bed for a while before realizing the painting was in there," said Michaela Derra, spokeswoman for the auction house Ketterer Kunst, adding she did not know how the oil painting had wound up inside the sofa.
