A rip off even WORSE than the SAH network!

That's right, I have found a ripoff thats even worse than the SAH network. On TV we just had a PBS auction to raise money for the local PBS station. While I was watching I saw them selling a lot of baseball cards, which consisted of a 91 score series 1 box, 91 score series 2 box, 91 donruss factory set, and a 90 fleer set. Needless to say, they appraised this at $85 (yea right). But whats really stunning is that there was an overbid, at $120!!!! Yikes. What morons bidded on that? And whats so much weirder is that they had 3 more lots later, one consisted of a 87 donruss set a 87 topps set and a 87 topps traded set, then another had a 1982 topps set, and then the last one had the 1990 leaf set which is worth $150. Odd that each of those only reached $100. Those 3 lots are worth a ton more than the first lot yet each got $20 less than it. Wow

LMAO. Ya dude. I am from the Wisconsin area too and I saw the auction but not the baseball stuff. People outbid to raise money. Dude. People even overbidded on BREWERS, yes I said it BREWERS tickets. they were worth $150 and people bidded like $210. I was lmao. But it is just to raise money and that is why people overbid.

It is NOT a ripoff;PBS relys on these auctions for operating expenses.
You need to learn more about PBS=Public Broadcasting System.
They are not a commercial network like CBS etc...
People always bid more for this auction stuff most all of which is donated by viewers or companies.All winning auction amounts paid are tax detuctable as well.We always buy something from them each year as the PBS stations always provide good programming.
SAH is & always will be the ultimate ripoff.

I know they are just trying to raise money for the station, but I was just so surprised that first lot got that much $$ which the later lots which are worth alot more got $20 less each. That was the stunner
