Paula Abdul ignored on eBay: ‘Idol’ judge put herself on sale for charity, but no one placed bids.
Paula Abdul’s one experience with the auction Web site eBay turned out to be a bust. Fox TV executives were auctioning off a day with their popular “American Idol” judge, but sadly, the sale ended without anyone placing a bid.
Fox had set the opening price at $26,000, which apparently scared away interested parties.
"This sort of charity auction usually makes a mint. It's kind of sad that nobody wanted to bid on Paula," said an eBay spokesperson, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Hoping to raise money for multiple sclerosis charities, the proposed VIP package included two first-class tickets to Los Angeles, a $2,225 shopping spree, and a backstage meeting with the star.
After four days without a bid, the listing was removed.
