You can get a snowball maker, sports tickets and paintings at the DM silent auction, but apparently what we really want is to get into graduate school. Kaplan is offering several test-prep courses, for anything from the LSAT to the MCAT, and they’re attracting the highest bids — some inching towards four figures.

The only item yet to be bid on? A package that includes a one-year subscription to the vehicle-sharing Zipcar service, food from Gino’s East and an autographed photo of Lost’s Matthew Fox. Somehow, this is less appealing than instant snowballs and several more years of cramming.
