I'm attending a charity fundraiser/event this weekend. Here's the live auction items, which would be your favorite?

Posted by MDH Mar 1 '24, 07:28

Note: They will go for many thousands of dollars. I'm not bidding on these to be frank. A week in Italy last year went for $24k.

1) Screaming Eagle Cabernet 2020
2) Dinner for 10 at an ambassador's house
3) 2 Tickets, Dinners, Hotels in London for Taylor Swift Eras Tour
4) 3) 2 Tickets, Dinners, Hotels in Munich for Taylor Swift Eras Tour
5) 2BR condo in Greece for a week
6) 2 Tickets, Dinners, Hotels for the Women's Wimbledon final
7) Week in Spain at a vacation house that sleeps 12
8) Inn at Little Washington (3 star Michelin) for 6, with roundtrip transportation
9) F1 tickets, driver meet & greet, hotels, track transportation
10) Imperial Trilogy Scotch Whiskey package
11) Rental house for 8 in your choice of Vail, Deer Valley, etc.
12) Petrus Pomeral Grand Vin 2005
13) NYC hotels, restaurants, spa weekend

Should I report back with prices on any of these?

Responses:

The all-inclusiveness sound of 2 and 3 is appealing (though I'd probably skip the show). But I'd rather go to Greece so 5. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 08:17
Bachelor auction? -- nm - Mop🧹 Mar 1, 08:03
2, 8 and 10 would be high on my list. - Znufrii, promoted Mar 1, 07:56
Related: there's a lot of silent auction items (200+). I've always won at least 1, but there's too many to post ha -- nm - MDH Mar 1, 07:50
So process of elimination. Not 1, 12, 2, 11, 10, 7, 9....so I think 8. - JD Mar 1, 07:44
The F1 depending where. Deer Valley because we have friends and family in the West and could fill it. -- nm - Last Of My Kind Mar 1, 07:42
7 sounds fun -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 07:41
2, but only if they will share juicy stories -- nm - Baron the Wonder Horse Mar 1, 07:38
#3 (for the London part), or #5 -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 07:38
#2 sounds like an evening of potentially fascinating conversation. I'd also be interested on the price of #8 -- nm - crash davis 😺 Mar 1, 07:38 2
- I was looking at their example menu and the fact that's there's a $32 cheese supplement. Why $32? - JD Mar 1, 07:59
- I think last year #8 went for $11k -- nm - MDH Mar 1, 07:48
I'd do this because it's the most foreign to me: 9) F1 tickets, driver meet & greet, hotels, track transportation -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Mar 1, 07:31 1
- If the local is good, exactly. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 07:32
Where is 9 for? -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 07:31 4
- Your choice of Britain, Hungary, Netherlands, Italy, Austin, or Mexico City -- nm - MDH Mar 1, 07:48 2
  - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 08:07 1
    - we're doing MX city, right? -- nm* - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Mar 1, 08:11
- probably at a racetrack -- nm - decline Mar 1, 07:32
the prices will be ridiculous (I'd pick #5) -- nm - decline Mar 1, 07:30 2
- Depends where in Greece? -- nm - Last Of My Kind Mar 1, 07:40 1
  - Multiple cities, starting on the island of Ikaria and ending in Athens. -- nm - MDH Mar 1, 07:47
