Wish I had the bucks to buy it and give it back to him.
I agree completely. Reminds me of the story where a little girl that had raised a lamb from birth developed cancer. Knowing that treatment was going to be expensive she took the lamb to auction to help he parents raise money for it…even though it was now very much her pet. Word got out at the auction what she had planned to do and as soon as the auction started bidding was fast an furious. At auctions end (the highest price ever bid on a lamb in auction history) the winner turned around and gave the lamb back to the little girl. The auctioneer then asked her to put it back up for auction and bidding took off again. The lamb was sold no less than 20 times and at the end of the last auction she had raised more than enough for her treatment and the last winner gave the lamb back…for the last time. The auction says it’s not about personal gain and I believe it…but it sure would show a ton of class if the auction winner were to get it in the mail and have it returned to sender.
