Tim Harford has generously chosen to donate to charity the proceeds from the Ebay auction of the first copy of Freakonomics I ever signed. He was even kind enough to let me pick the charity, SmileTrain.
I don’t think he ever dreamed it would go for what the current bid is on Ebay. My best guess would have been one zero short of what it actually is.
Whatever the final price is, I’ll match Tim’s donation to Smile Train with one of my own.
Have a good Thanksgiving everyone. And don’t forget to bet the two home underdogs today in NFL football.
