"I would like to thank all of you for your generous donations for the City Auction House. We are thrilled to have your support. 75% of this would be used for Shelter and Homeless services...." The host of the Auction House gave his speech, "You all truly make a difference for us, and we are extremely grateful!"
Mr. Collins sat there with a dissatisfied face as he heard this speech.
Mr. Collins had tried his level best to get the ring, he knew that a lot of people were going to compete with him for it and that's why he had kept his budget at a fairly large amount.
Who knew that a 9 carat diamond ring which could cost about $200,000 at it's best, would be sold at a hefty price of $300,500!
He had almost made a fool out of himself during the bidding. It had started with $90,000 and slowly reached a number where people were unwilling to put more money in it.
