It's not actually full of milk. B. It has his picture on it. C. He signed it too. D. The winning bid for the carton wasn't even close to $500, let alone a million of 'em.

snakepitrose Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 It's not the token nature of the item being sold which really counts: it's the willingness to participate in a relief operation like that of Haiti. Many people are willing to donate money with no material reward, and so it's not surprising that a milk carton was capable of attaining £330. It probably would have achieved more with greater publicity! It's nice to know that people are willing to sell items and to donate money towards such causes, regardless of the item involved.
