It's more like: "I bought a painting for 20$ at flea market. 6 years later I learned it was from Van Gogh but sadly I don't know where it is now."

My dad actually bought a painting for $25 at a flea market in Amsterdam and it turned out to be a Paul Citroen, we ate pretty good for a couple of years because of that. Not quite a Van Gogh but still, a good catch.

What was the market value of the painting? I fail to find any result corresponding with the comment.

It fetched ~50K Guilders in an auction by Mak van Waay, which in the 1970's was a lot of money.
