My personal opinion is that someone has more dollars than sense if they are willing to pay over five grand for a tour of *any* archives.
Just my two bits worth.

I am just curious to see what others on the list think about this. While I might be able to understand doing this for charity, I have to wonder/question the ethics of doing something like this purely for profit. My immediate reaction is that this is wrong, but I am curious to see if anyone else has a different viewpoint that makes sense. Would anyone else consider doing this with their institution?I also have to admit to being absolutely astounded at the amount the high bidder is willing to pay!!
