October 17, 201213 yr http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110961869740?ssPageName=STRK:MESCX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1554.l2649 The bid is currently at £90,500.00 :stunned: (and THANK GOD for that zoom thingy :dead: )
October 17, 201213 yr Clearly tons of fake bidding going on. This is why they should pre-approve bidders credit cards before they let them bid on something like many other charity auctions on ebay..as some people think this is a game. This not only hurts genuine bidders chances to get something they really want - but also makes charity lose money at the end due to faux auction winners who don't pay.
October 17, 201213 yr So many bids by different people within half an hour. I think there´s something wrong. And I don't believe that someone's gonna pay so much even though it's for charity. On the other hand... there are so many crazy fangirlies in here...

They are sort of homemade and I love them, and am proud to be asked to donate them to this wonderful cause," the singer said prior to the auction.
