Markets in Everything--Shatner's Kidney Stone Edition
Excerpted from the AJC:
Actor William Shatner has sold his kidney stone for $25,000, with the money going to a housing charity, it was announced Tuesday.
Shatner reached agreement Monday to sell the stone to GoldenPalace.com.
The stone was so big, Shatner said, "you'd want to wear it on your finger."
GoldenPalace.com originally offered $15,000 for the stone but Shatner turned it down, noting that his "Star Trek" tunics have commanded more than $100,000. His counteroffer was accepted.
Yuck. Ht to MR for the markets in everything concept.
