Associates of Rechnitz in Israel said that he intends to offer the tag again for sale and thus raise more money for sick children - "Shlomo never abstemious, the price he paid for the tag is indeed not small, but he will do all he can to raise more money for the department. The buzz created around selling intensifies the effect and bringing to public attention the importance of the contribution. "

Shmuel Gerbi, Gerbi's father, told Israel Hayom ":"We put the bronze medal for sale and saw offers up to 15 thousand dollars, then suddenly we got up in the morning and saw that it jumped to 52 thousand. Yarden was shocked, she really wants to meet him. "
