Alicia Carroll of Everything Royal, the seller of the set of six love letters from Prince Charles to Janet Jenkins which closed at US$30,000 on eBay last week has decided to relist her items after the winning bidder failed to pay up.
See, even if a winning bid is said to be a contract, there are still people backing out of a deal. After all, people are allowed to change their minds, right? Moreover, we are talking about US$30,000, a tidy sum in these lean economic times.
Whatever, I still feel that US$30,000 for six letters which are not that romantic (to me) is too much to pay even if Prince Charles may one day be the King of England. If these letters have a scandalous tone, then I may think differently but they are like ordinary friendship letters only, not such a big deal since both of them were single at that time.
This round, Alicia Carroll has asked for an opening bid of $30,000, with a BIN at $30,001. Auction will close on March 28th, 2009. Better luck to her this time!
