Each sponsor will recieve:
1) a thank you letter
2) regular credit card statements - until zero balance
3) a photo of us on exotic holiday

I'm going to try one for new shoes.
Would you like to see a young girl immenseley happy?
Sponder her to buy some new shoes and you will receive:
1/ a signed picture of said feet wearing shoes.
2/ a signed 'action' picture of the shoes being worn on a night out.
3/ you will actually receive the shoes once they are 'well worn'
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Bet that would attract a fair few nutters!
Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.0 -

Was there a tangible item or service being offered for sale? If not, that would be one possible reason."Now to trolling as a concept. ....

Didn't see it.

Heres the link to sky news - basically they were asking for money to pay for their wedding. In return you got a thank you letter, a photo and a 12 month update... something along those lines...

The photo which they showed on the eBay auction looked different, guess they looked younger? (taken at an earlier time)?0 -
Cheeky sods- we're a young engaged couple who can't afford a wedding too- guess what we are selling on ebay? REAL STUFF. Y'know working for what we need (like food), not getting what we want (like getting married)This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine:kisses2: Fiancee of the "lovely" DaveAshton :kisses2:I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine.0

Photo of the big day and card on anniversary would violate pre-sale listing policy as items not available within 30 days since they are not getting married until February 27, 2010.
