How did a violin that was bought at a pawn shop for $50, end up being worth about 5,000 times that.
At a place similar to Gems N' Loans Oceanside, had no idea what they were buying when they paid for the Ferdinando Gagliano violin, which was handcrafted in 1759 and is worth $250,000. The store manager was quoted saying that the bows alone are worth $16,000 to $18,000.
According to the police in that area, they said the violin was stolen during a house break-in and has since been returned to its rightful owner, and the seller had no criminal record and they’re still investigating.
