oh that much!

think this is pretty mental item to have in a charity auction....

Yeah, read that a while ago, have just about managed to prise my head from my desk.

I think you'll find its more to do with a charitable donation than the true value of the dog

...and the fact that a live animal has been used as an auction prize and and the fact that this will probably spark a mass of people wanting a kyoot Golden Retriever x Poodle puppy and the fact that the backyard breeders and puppy mills will be rubbing their hands with glee...

I was sure Radio 2 said it was £8000, b ut this says 8000gn. How much is that in real money?

 

[MurphysMinder]

Auctions usually sell in guineas still I think. 8000 guineas is £8000 and 8000 shillings, 20 shillings in a pound, someone else can do the maths.

 

[PucciNPoni]

thanks MM - I swear they just like to keep us yanks confused

but £8k still trumps $11k (£8000 = $12880.90 USD, as of today Source: oanda.com)

1 guinea is £1 plus 5p (one shilling).

 

[PucciNPoni]

So how is the value of a guinea set? Is there like...and exhcnage rate or something?

 

[MurphysMinder]

No its always a pound and 5p.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Auctioning guinea pigs now whatever next

 

[PucciNPoni]

LOL, okay thanks for that. Nothing like nice round numbers eh?
