The Rail Companies hold an Auction for all Lost Property
And at Auctions some people in an attempt to get a Bargain pay much more than what the item they are bidding on is actually worth.
However as they Won the Auction they feel like a winner no matter how much they ended up paying for whatever it is that they where bidding on.
I remember being at one Railway Auction many years ago and watching several people fight like their lives depended on an Umbrella. They ended up paying 3 times it's new cost.
I on the other hand walked out with a IBM Scalatric Golf Ball Correcting Typewriter and a box of ribbons for $2.00 though I'm just not sure how someone lost one of those on a Passenger Train.
Another thing that I bought was a Massive Marque for $50.00 complete. Again I'm not sure just who would carry something like that on a Passenger Train or how they could misplace it.
