Did you hear about this? EBay Charity Bid

It seems to be legit. It's not my thing, but maybe it would interest some of you (if nothing else it was nice to read a post from the NBC boards that wasn't a bunch of ...).

As many of you may know. NBC and 3 Ball Productions the Producers of the "Biggest Loser" shows did a Charity Auction to benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation, auctioning off props and wardrobe from Biggest Loser 2. Our goal was to raise $5,000 to help this great charity, but we came up a little short at $3,700. To push us over the top, we have a special deal for folks out there. This is a once in a lifetime offer…. well actually 5 times in a lifetime, as there will be 5 chances. We are auctioning off a chance to have your tape and application HAND DELIVERED to the HEAD CASTING DIRECTOR. …AND… EXECUTIVE PRODUCER of The Biggest Loser. How important is this? Well if you imagine the hundreds of thousands of applicants, it makes a HUGE difference. The day after the season finale over 47,000 applications were downloaded off the NBC site. Tens of thousands of people have waited out for hours just for a chance to be seen by one of the hundreds of casting people traveling the country… but this is a E ticket to the top of the pile. The 5 winners will have their videos and applications hand delivered to the casting department, and put into the hands of the two people who have the biggest impact on who makes the show. The Executive Producer and Head Casting Director. We will even snap a pic of your envelope being passed off. As a bonus… just so you don’t have to wait around wondering. You will get hand written feedback on your submission, letting you know if you are in or out, and what you could improve upon for future submissions. What is this worth… you tell us. The auction for the first slot starts on Super bowl Sunday. Go to Ebay and type in the words “Biggest Loser Casting”. Please check the Ebay feedback in case you have questions about this being authentic.

yes I heard

I checked it out. The seller does seem authentic but the bid was already at 202.00. You could outright buy it for 700.00ish. I want to be on the show but not that bad. I could use that money to join a fitness club.

That seems interesting, but maybe a little too good to be true. What recourse do you have if they don't deliver the goods?

I am with you all - I wouldn't do this myself. I would never pay for that to happen - if it is meant for me to be on the show they will pick me whether I had it hand delivered or not. Ya know? I'm like Michele...if I had this type of money then I would put it where I could use it all the time...like a gym membership or exercise equipment for home.

I agree, there really is no guarentee that your stuff would really get handed to them. I'm sure it's for real, but I personally wouldn't do it

Who would want to buy a family? I buy a lot of educational materials on e-bay for my class but I haven't needed to purchase a family lately. I did hear that one person was selling his neck fat. How bizarre is that!?!
