Can you put a price on experience?

The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights is currently auctioning off several items, including an internship at The Huffington Post.  Donated by Arianna Huffington, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Post, the internship is for 2-3 months.  At this time, the highest bid is $13,000.

Although Ms. Huffington's donation is extremely generous and clearly benefiting a good cause, it makes me wonder: can you put a price on experience?  I always thought that experience was priceless but in light of this current auction, it seems I was mistaken.
