How much would you pay to relive extraordinary moments in your life or in history?
A commercial company wanted to know the answer to that question, so they asked 2,000 people what they would realistically pay for the chance to relive a moment.
Bid-On-Equipment, a reseller of heavy equipment, including industrial, pharmaceutical, processing and packaging machinery, in Algonquin, Ill., selected 40 events and ask people to say how much they would give for the experience and then they averaged the prices.
