Interesting eBay listing...raising money for charity...

#1 Post by happyhappyjoyjoy »

Just found this on ebay, I know you can find elastics and stuff on there, but this is a first I tihnk! He's getting his braces off May 5th and is auctioning off leaving them on! Looks like each day costs $10. It says all the money goes to the breast cancer foundation. Not a bad idea. But could you imagine if the winning bid was a LOT of days? WOW! I am not there yet, but I would imagine when its time for your braces to come off you want them off! I don't think I would do this. : /

What kind of guarantee is there that ALL of the proceeds would actually go to charity? Anyhow, sounds weird and fishy to me.

Uppers braced 4/6/07 & Lowers braced 4/20/07
ceramic brackets and rectangular arch wires

Poor guy- I just went to the link, and its over, and all he made was $10. Oh well, I guess it's $10 for breast cancer that they might not have got otherwise.

He didn't make a thing, I'm sure ebay made him pull the auction.

It hasn't been pulled and ended successfully. Who knows if he'll honor it though.
