The person who EARNED that money paid income tax on that amount, and I'm sure there was sales tax paid on the transaction....

Of course, it also could have been money laundering..... Who really knows what went on?

Unless I missed the comment here, the most important questions remains to be answered ..... can this new purchase be INSURED? Should it be kept in a safe deposit box? Does it need to be preserved .... or could it be laminated?

Hmm ..... I wonder how much a rider on one's homeowners insurance policy would cost.

Whenever I see something like what this person did, I think of all of the people that could have been helped.
The possibilites that are lost are so sad, although, the buyer wouldn't have likely donated.

Maybe the buyer did both. Why always assume the worst? Why not think positively, and assume that they have enough money to do both?

Not everyone broadcasts their donations, because if they did, they would be accused of doing it for the attention, right? Yet, if they don't say anything, then it's assumed that they never donate.

Hell of a catch-22, right?

What good is money if you can't buy what you want? At least one other bidder was willing to pay substantially for it or the selling price wouldn't have been that high.

Most of us buy things we don't need, should we have donated that money and deprived ourselves of the diamond earrings, $300 handbag...we wanted?

Money laundering?? LOL - that's a bit overreaching! No one here knows how much money the buyer gives to charities, but it really doesn't matter. The money spent is his (or hers) to spend on whatever he wants!

I had to shake my head when some proffered that the sale was money laundering. On E-bay no less!😄
