I guess I don't get the point of your post. Are you saying that a
Bigha is not worth its asking price? Most auction items do not go for
true market value, which is why you can often get a great deal on a
car, a house or anything else on auction. Only silly personal items,
like Princess Diana's toaster will get big bucks. If you're using this
charity auction as means of assessing Bigha's value, you are mistaken.

Geez, what has this come to? Bigha DONATES a bike to CHARITY and we
pick on them? Earth to A.R.B.R.!!!!

There was a BiGHA on eBay auctioned by a charity with no reserve. It sold
for $1,805.00. There were 50 bids with more than half of them from someone
bidding as nsacres. There is a Mr. Acres, John I think, who is the chief
executive of Bigha.

It was listed as a recreational bike rather than as a recumbent. BiGHA
seems to go to great lengths not to mention the word recumbent. Maybe
that's a good thing.

Who says Bigha donated it? Maybe someone bought it and found out what a
clunker it was and unloaded to a charity for a tax write off.
