The first item Keith auctioned was a Rotary car badge.  He received $10 for it.   He then produced a solid - silver 100 Years of Rotary (2005) badge which has a dollar embedded in it.  He asked, ‘’What am I offered for it?”   At first there were no bids, then very low bids, but eventually someone offered $100.  Bids rose steadily.  He finally sold it for $200. Persistence won!
