Mr. Zenith Shah accumulated his fortune through an uncanny understanding of all things market-related and a God-given gift for calculating risks just right, but ultimately it's about the kids for him. He missed out on scoring a sweet, hand-made Ridicathlon t-shirt a few weeks earlier, and he wasn't about to make the same mistake twice, especially for such a great cause.
Early on there was a good bit of auction noise, as three bidders jumped the price to $10. Mr. Shah bided his time and at the last minute lobbed a bid in for $20 on top of the final bid, which brought the winning total to an earth-shattering $30. I'm pretty sure it's the first time anyone has paid such top dollar for a lanyard.
Congratulations to Mr. Shah for winning the one of a kind autographed Ridicathlon Media Pass, and many thanks to him for his generous donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters.
If Jim never scribbled on the media pass, we would have broke $50 on this auction. It's astonishing how much his chicken scratch devalued an otherwise historic collectible. -RP
