bidding and trying to outbid somebody else that oftentimes they would 
pay twice as much as the object was really worth. 

I remember my father would always say after some outlandish bid, “I sure
would've loved to have sold that to that guy.” Then he would stare out 
into space a little bit thinking about that whole idea. He always 
wanted to be the seller and not the buyer. 

Then my wife hit me with a difficult question. “Is there something you
would never sell for 2 ½ million dollars?" 

What a loaded question. I am not even sure what 2 ½ million dollars is
worth! I have never seen that much money in my whole life and probably 
never will. But some people have put value on certain things and are 
willing to part with something if someone comes up with the right 
price. 

People put value on things that really are not that important. An old
penny worth 2 ½ million dollars cannot be used for anything practical. 
What can you buy with that penny? What is that man going to use that 2 
½ million dollar penny for? Just look at it? 

I think Solomon had the right idea when he wrote, “For wisdom is better
than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be 
compared to it” (Proverbs 8:11). 

Some things in life you cannot put a price on, it is a joy to discover
those things and sometimes those things are people.
