Does charity make thindgs worth more
I have noticed with ineterest a couple of items being auctioned for Children in Need that seem to be going for more than thry are worth normally.
The first is currently at £21,000 and the second is at £21.
The first is a Watch that would normally cost £6000 but due to it being worn by Daniel Craig (James Bond) and being auctioned for Children in need is going for a lot more.
The second is a photo of a can of spaghetti that would normally cost pennies.
So the question is, does charity make things worth more? or do people just get carried away in the heat of the moment? and if they are worth more is that increase in worth long term or short lived?

Things are worth what someone will pay for them. In the case of charity auctions, I don't suppose for one mooment that the bidders are interested in what something is worth, but rather they are keen to contribute to the cause.£705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:0
