At an international open auction, hundred of millionaires attended to bid for a series of collectibles. Among all of the bidding items, there were two identical stamps up for bid.
゛Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present you the 1918 Inverted Jenny Stamp, which takes its name from an image of a bidplane accidentally printed upside-down. So far, only two of the stamps have ever been found, making them one of the most coveted items tonight. Tonight, the twins were offered in pair with $1,000,000. Ladies and gentlemen, you may start bidding now.゛
First, a mid-age American businessman offered 1,050,000 USD then follwed by an old India women who offered 1,060,000 USD. It went on until a young gentleman who offered a surprisingly high bid 1,500,000 USD in a loud clear voice.
One... Two... Three... Sold!
The winning bidder walked up the stair steadily and collected the stamps. In front of the other bidders, He took out a lighter and burnt one of the stamp. Then, he proudly announced,
゛Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to offer you, a stamp that you can`t find an identical one in any part of the world. Let`s start with $2,000,000 bid prices!゛
Friends, you are the one and only. You are unique.
