The Bids Keep Going…

Just a quick update on the GSA auctions. The bidding on New York lighthouses Old Orchard Shoals and West Bank is still going strong. The auction is extended one more day till Tuesday August 19. Current bids are $130,000 for West Bank Lighthouse and $90,000 for Old Orchard Shoals.
These two auctions are shaping up to be another battle, and who knows how high it will go. What I find a little ironic is the amount of money people are willing to spend to buy a lighthouse, while those under the care of non-profit groups and municipalities often go begging for money.
It sure would be nice if some of the money flying around at the GSA site would go to some of the other, needful lights in need of tender, loving care.
