Default Ebay: Frosted Flakes

I'm going to start with a small back story to set up this auction..

In February of 2010, Lauren and I will be going on a cruise with the Grand Am Owners Club (Grand Am Owners Club). The cruise leaves from California, and goes South to Mexico. After the cruise gets back, everyone will go their different ways. Lauren and I are going to Las Vegas with our friend Mehea. Our goal is to stay in nicest hotel room possible (for our budget).

While posting on the Grand Am Owners Club forum, I asked how much I could sell a half empty box of Frosted Flakes for on Ebay. Two other members said they would give me $10 if I could actually get a legitamet bidder. There were some rules set forth to ensure it was an actual bet. The rules are:

1.) I couldn't get family members to bid, or bid on it using a friend's account.
2.) It had to sell for over $1
2a.)If it sold for over $5 a third person would give me an additional $10
3.) No Free Shipping; shipping is $2.00.


So without further hesitation, here's the ebay link:
Frosted Flakes Cereal - eBay (item 190252213215 end time Sep-24-08 21:18:04 PDT)

It's now been bid up to $3.51 with 7 bids. Someone said they're going to bid $10 when they get home, but I'll wait until it's official.

Impressive, someone will pay $6.01 for a half of a box of Frosted Flakes. Not too mention your cooties.

What do you mean by "put up to"? I haven't directly TOLD anyone to vote. I've told people about the auction. All 17 votes have been by the free will of the people bidding.
