This website takes proceeds and donates them to charities.  Basically, it's a blind bid type of deal.  Whoever has the highest UNIQUE bid wins.  So if the highest bid amount is $8.00 but someone who bids $7.59 can win if bids of $7.60 and up have been made by more people.  I'm bidding on a Nintendo DS for less than $10 right now.  Even if you don't win, the money goes to charity.  </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://takethebackseat.blogspot.com/feeds/112024875498083696/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5454273&amp;postID=112024875498083696&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5454273/posts/default/112024875498083696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5454273/posts/default/112024875498083696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://takethebackseat.blogspot.com/2005/07/better-alternative-to-online-auctions.html' title='A better alternative to online auctions!'/><author><name>anthony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12944035065268803454</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454273.post-112017469714538969</id><published>2005-06-30T16:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-30T16:38:17.153-07:00</updated><title type='text'>how's san diego pauli? / hear the weather's great this time of year / how's san diego pauli?</title><summary type='text'>Man I love her.Everyone go to AJ's Myspace page.

Gustavo at St. Margaret Mary.  </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://takethebackseat.blogspot.com/feeds/111864684670200919/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5454273&amp;postID=111864684670200919&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5454273/posts/default/111864684670200919'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5454273/posts/default/111864684670200919'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://takethebackseat.blogspot.com/2005/06/ree-shell-her-name-rhymes-w-bell-so-le.html' title='ree-shell her name rhymes w/ bell / so le mo qui von tres bien ensem'/><author><name>anthony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12944035065268803454</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454273.post-111859854678438706</id><published>2005-06-12T10:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-12T10:49:06.790-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm back</title><summary type='text'>I've been shopping like the days of old looking for Ave Star outfits.
