What kinds of baskets can I auction off?
Q. My school has a yearly silent auction during our choir dinner. I need to raise about 500 dollars to have enough money for our trip to New Orleans. What would be some good ideas for things to auction off?
Asked by jedkitten - Sun Aug 24 12:12:33 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Our band has families donate baskets to the auctions and many are very creative . . . Junk Food, Gardening, Pet Basket, Handy Man, Kitchen, etc. People use different containers to hold items that are purchased inexpensively. Example use a bucket, put in car wash soap, drying towels, scented rear view mirror, tire gauge, etc. If you are doing for an elementary school you can have each class donate a basket (assign different themes) and each student can bring in an item for the class basket. Have fun!

Would you ever auction off your virginity?
Q. There is a story in US magazine about a 22-year old who is auctioning off her virginity. Apparently the bid is up to $250,000. And she says she plans to use the money to go to school. Is this something you would ever consider doing?

Is it okay for a person to auction off their virginity if it is illegal for prostitution?
Q. If it's illegal for prostitution, what makes this any different?
Asked by jamncat11 - Tue Sep 16 20:48:17 2008 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. It depends on the specifics of the arrangement. I suspect what's being auctioned is a right to the virginity, which is not necessarily prostitution. It doesn't take a legal eagle to thread that needle.
