Mason and I wanted to thank everyone who bidded on my FIRST acoustic guitar and to the winner for bidding 00 (one thousands dollars…yes…that right) to go towards helping doctors find a cure for this terrible disease called Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JM). My friend Mason, as well as many other kids, needs your help. Our Hope and Prayer is to CURE JM so other children will not have to experience what Mason lives with everyday. Mason, you are our HERO. www.curejmconcert.myevent.com

Related BlogsHow to Win Swoopo AuctionsWednesday, July 28th, 2010There are several “pay to bid” auction sites out there these days. What is the best way to score the items on those sites? Here’s a link describing the sort of auction going on at these sites and why it’s a loser for everyone involved but the company running the auction: en.wikipedia.org Also notice that the structure of wins/losses on these auctions are similar to that of a lottery, bingo, or a poker tournament: one person wins and everyone else loses. So why is the payoff so much less for the winner than in a lottery or bingo? Because the company is keeping all the extra money. The odds to win are no better than a lottery but the payoff is WAY less! The risk/reward here is so poor on these auctions you should think twice before participating. Related Blogs
