Someone on the inside found this artwork in storage and knew it had value. They arranged to have it listed as “surplus”, and purchased the lot for $10 each, with no competition. Then sold to the art dealer for $12,000. This sounds more like insider theft than lucky “picking.” This story needs more digging. Good luck!
