I don't get what the big deal is about these old life ring and wooden plank things. I mean, yeah they're from a famous shipwreck and all that, but $150K? That's just crazy talk 
. I can see why some people would be interested in owning a piece of history or whatever, but to me it's just a bunch of old stuff that's gonna rust away in a few years anyway 
. And what's with all the documentation and verification process? Can't they just let people buy and sell these things without making such a big deal about it? It's just an auction, folks!
