eBay auctions $2.6 million dollar lunch

Terapeak is the reigning king of averages, and we love to scour eBay for quirky items. A million-dollar lunch isn’t the craziest listing ever – that prestigious honor is saved for things like a UFO detector or a ghost in a jar – but it’s definitely ridiculous.

 

The meal includes more than just a free appetizer; billionaire investor Warren Buffet will dine with the winner – who wishes to remain anonymous. The proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Glide Foundation – which provides social services to the homeless in San Francisco.

 

Robert Chatwani – director of global citizenship for eBay – confirmed this as the largest single auction for charity that’s been held on eBay.

 

It’s not difficult to imagine why people are dying to get face time with Buffet – he’s the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and one of the world’s most successful investors. Previous lunch dates with the mogul have gone for $1.68 and $2.11 million dollars.

 

One has to wonder about the etiquette for tipping on a lunch tab like this. Even staying conservative at 10% means you’re looking at the value of a small house – we doubt the waiter will be donating that kind of gratuity.

I love Terapeak - what a great little tool. I've had it less than 2 weeks and it's already paid for my annual subscription.

Terapeak gives me the tools I need to maximize my sales & I was able to qualify for eBay's Top Rated Seller in my first 3 months of selling!

My sell-through rate is consistently over 55% and a large part of that success is due to Terapeak!

A day without Terapeak is a missed opportunity to make a profit...

With Terapeak research I don't have to guess when sourcing new product. I know what sells, when it sells and for how much it sells.

Terapeak helped me evaluate subniches and I was able to avoid costly mistakes of buying glass that looked great on paper until I found it sold slowly and priced too low to make a profit.

As an eBay Trading Assistant & Educational Specialist I couldn't be without this tool - I always recommend TERAPEAK to my students & when selling for others.

I can't imagine my business without my Terapeak membership. I sell for others so I rarely sell the same item twice. Terapeak helps me daily.

Terapeaks rocks! My sub-category is basically all Fixed-Price and Terapeak is the ONLY way to quickly find out what designs are selling the best!

I used Terapeak to evaluate my competitors' marketing and found strategies that worked and was surprised how many sellers lose money due to poor pricing and marketing.
