Every once in a while you come across a truly heartwarming story.
This is one of them. What's in your attic? Just an old Indian Blanket. Watch the auction!
This man lost a leg and was having a hard time making ends meet while getting a modest disability check.
He thought about selling an old Indian blanket that he inherited from his family.
Watch the man's face while the bidding starts to go up..

We can all use a good news story these days! So who has $1.5 million to spend on a blanket?

Some one-percenter who'll put it on a guest bed in his billion-dollar yacht. Shows you the difference between the ultra-rich and the rest of us. Good to see some of those riches making their way to a normal guy.

I guess that is an example of the so called trickle down effect.

You're right. I would have stopped bidding at $1.0 million
