Cash for Peerages

I knew I had forgotten to write about this! For those not in the UK, there has been a right royal hoo-hah about the government 'selling' peerages (ie people would become Lord so-and-so of Never Land) to people who made large donations to various government projects (The New Academies of excellence etc)

Anyway, it struck me, why would anyone give huge sums of money to the Government in exchange for his, when you can buy them online for about 20 quid?

Lord Goatse of Dragoon (or something like that) will surely fill me in on this. As might Lord and Lady Chubb of Glensporan?

Im sure there must be a link to these online peerages somewhere?
