ABDUL SNUBBED ON eBAY AUCTION
Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 12:26 am

Singer PAULA ABDUL’s foray into the world of eBay has ended without success after an auction to win a day with the AMERICAN IDOL judge received no bids.
Fox TV executives had hoped for a bidding war over the VIP package, which included two first-class tickets to Los Angeles, a £1,200 ($2,225) shopping spree, and a backstage meeting with the star. The auction was intended to raise money for multiple sclerosis charities, but the £14,000 ($26,000) asking price proved such a deterrent that the listing was removed from the site after four days. An eBay spokesperson says, "This sort of charity auction usually makes a mint. It’s kind of sad that nobody wanted to bid on Paula."

I guess she ain't worth $26,000. But instead of pulling the item off, maybe they could've re-listed a lower price? It's still for charity...

This would be hilarious if it wasn't so freakin' sad.

I'm with mooms, they should've lowered the asking price - it's not like they were doing it for profit.

Who decided to pull it? That's weird. Did they go by how many people were watching the bid? Anyone who has sold anything on ebay knows most bids come in at the very end. Weird. Maybe she wanted to back out?

Awww, that is so sad. Even though Paula has gone to seed, I used to really love her back in the 80s.
