"I found these guys at an antique store for $19 each. I know they were high-quality crystals and were heavy (9 lb each), so I bought them on a whim without knowing what they were. I got home and looked up the signature on the bottom, which ended up being “Lalique France." The retail value of them, from what I found, is around $3000 for the pair. Pretty happy for $40."

#17 "Bertha" you're mentally ill.
There's a salacious double meaning to your comment that you might be unaware of.
#9 Be sure to get them authenticated, as Lalique is notoriously counterfeited. I have real Lalique and fakes which I use as comparative reference.
#10 What an incredibly hyperbolic statement. That looks like it was merely a localized brush fire, and that sturdy steel and stone wall is what 'actually' saved your needlessly frightened fruity "community' even if it burnt out on it's own without fire fighting intervention.
#23 An ultra rare case of true philanthropy.
#28 "Hidden treasure" connotes intent. These were merely lost...then found.
#34 That's cool. But, 12 years ago I found a Gio Ponti "A Canne" vase stamped "Venini Murano Italy" for $5 at a thrift store and sold it on eBay for almost $14,000. seriously.
I knew exactly what it was and how much it was worth. I carried it out of the store like it was made out of nitro glycerin.
