This happened to me as well. But I'm wondering if I was at fault. It was a silent auction. They asked for a reserve. I knew it was worth more but I said $50, thinking at least they will get something for the charity. It is a campership fund for children to attend Camp Pinnacle, named after my mother who worked there many years and handled the applications. It brought $100. At double the reserve I guess that I should be thankful. But I expected people to look at it, and the description, and say 'well that's worth at least one week of camp'. A friend told me once "you can't have expectations."
