Thomas Carver Decoy Duck
Original Price: $2,500
Current Price: $270,000
Yes, you read both of those numbers correctly. For those who aren’t big into hunting, a decoy duck is often used in such activities to potentially lure a real duck. This Thomas Carver brand decoy duck retails at a modest $2,500. If that doesn’t sound like a large amount of money to you, wait until you hear how much it sold for at an auction. That’s right, this Atlantic white cedarwood carving sold for a cool $270,000. While that figure obviously shattered the record for the most expensive decoy duck ever sold, similar carvings have been purchased for over $200,000 in the past.
