Win a lunch with Warren Buffett!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...541417312&rd=1

A small price to get a chance for 7 people to get some money invested in their business :-) How much do you think it'll go for?

A mutually agreed upon date, time and place for the lunch, in either Omaha or New York, will be selected by Mr. Buffett and the winning bidder.

I don't think it's legit though, so far 99% of the auctions like that going for anything higher than $1,000 from people with less than 10 feedbacks that I see end up re-listing.

Maybe those 'less than 10 feedbacks' folks only bid on high-ticket auctions such as these and thus don't have money left over for tons more auctions (and thus get few feedbacks)!?

I've had lunch before with Warren Buffett (one on one as matter of fact), he's a very down to earth man.

Yeah he's doing a nice thing. Plus the winner gets to spend some time with the 2nd richest man in world. It's a +/+ situation.
