THE MUSEUM OF BAGS.
External link:
After the charity auction (see the previous post) ended, I wrote to the guy who won:
I really wanted to be winner of this auction, but, obviously, you wanted it more than I did. I don't know how often you bid $5,000 for an item at a chartiy auction, but it's kind of a big deal for me. So, I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate you on winning this auction.
If you don't mind my asking, and I certainly understand if you do mind, I'd love to know what the maximum bid was that you had entered?
Sincerely,
David D[.]

He replied,
Thank you. I do not normally bid that much on a charity auction item, and I glad that you stopped, because I was at the end of my budget. However, I am starting a Museum of Bags. (www.themuseumofbags.org)
My wife and I have about 3,000 paper bags and paper looking bags. We have bags made of paper, ceramic, cellophane, burlap, cardboard, glass, copper, wire, leather, china, wood and artificial turf.
Let me know where you live, and we will keep you updated on our progress.
