Why somebody would pay $7,500 for two $525 tickets is totally beyond me. Is there a celebrity element that I am misssing? Was the auction performed amongst Madoff clients?

@ Statler: You could argue that the buyer wanted to sit next to the people who knew him. In my opinion however, anything that bears any relationship with Mr. Madoff, is popular celebrity memorabilia.

For example, check this out:

Now surely this doll doesn't cost $59 but people are bidding for it like there's no tomorrow.

Without wanting to hurt the feelings of Statler & Waldorf ( btw did Pops fall off the balcony??), Floyd your post is the best. Welcome to the balcony. Nikos, Votanicos, Athens

Thank you Nikos, although everything is fully co-ordinated with my senior fellows on the balcony.
