Auctions are designed to lure wealthy folks and collectors to bid higher-than-estimated value for rare collectible items. Competitive bidding escalates the value to astronomical numbers. Bidding winners can boast of possessing the rarest and/or most expensive objects existing on this planet in the bargain. Throughout 2011, Luxurylaunches has kept up with the record-breaking auctions worldwide.
