I am not actually interested in auctions of celebrity items. i just don't know why some people get interested on buying their old clothes and some ridiculous items or stuff like their cut hair. i can't believe sometimes how ridiculous these auctions can be. even for good items like shoes and shirt, for their price i can buy a lot of things, more important things. so i don't see any point on buying no matter how a great i am of that celebrity. maybe there may be a celebrity in the future that can capture my fancy and make me buy some of his auctioned item no matter how pricey it can be. but as of now i still don't feel that want to buy from any celebrities.

Those are for people who are filthy rich and have the luxury to buy such things. People who barely make ends meet or earn a little more, buying items from celebrities is out of the question. Personally, even if I have the money, I don't think I will ever buy them. It may not be a waste for some, for me it is and there are much better things that I can spend my money on.

cheers!


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2746)   ranked 293 out of 7,427 in shopping  2 months ago

yeah those filthy rich are the ones that can afford it but there are few items from not so popular celebrities or those popular only in their country and not internationally. who come up with auction so that the proceeds will go to charities. those items are not that expensive as those auctions from international celebrities.

hi hotsummer,
I havent ever brought celebrity thing at auction becaause they are far too costly then they are worth and i dont have that much money nor inclination to do it.. so i never go to auctions ..anyways i dont know how much out of that goes to charity if any and how much goes to star... anyways i am not a great fan of any celebrity to buy things which they have used.


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2746)   ranked 293 out of 7,427 in shopping  2 months ago

yeah it is hard to know of how much goes to charity. i do feel that most auctions will say that a lot of goes to charity.

hi hotsummer!

Cut hair? lol...they auctioned that item?lolmmm..weird. But people that are really rich doesn't care about the price or value of these items. I also don't like to buy or even to have a glance of star's item that are for sale. But the best thing about it is, most of the proceeds of these auctioned items goes to charity. wub


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2746)   ranked 293 out of 7,427 in shopping  2 months ago

i just don't know if any one got interested with that cut hair as any one can fake it.

I would buy it only if it's so attractive & useful. I would give preference to my likes rather than thinking it's a celebrity item.
Happy Lottinghappy

for me its functionality is more important that its popularity.

It really depends on what the item is and how much it costs. Another thing too is if the celebrity is wanting to be left alone to live their lives in peace from the photographers and the like. Like, I loved Princess Diana but she wanted peace away from the photographers so I wouldn't buy things that was about her because to buy it was only fueling the press to take more and I didn't want that. Now that she's gone, I do buy some things on or about her but not much.


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2746)   ranked 293 out of 7,427 in shopping  2 months ago

i don't like to buy items from celebrities that are gone already. i want from those are still in existence.


myLot reputation of 95/100. CatsandDogs (5132)   ranked 352 out of 7,427 in shopping  2 months ago

By buying stuff that have alive celebrities is causing the photographers to act more and more recklessly to get that "One Good Shot" and causing so much problems for the person who's being photographed. I don't want to make these low lifes richer, I'd rather leave the celebrities to their lives.


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2746)   ranked 293 out of 7,427 in shopping  2 months ago

i don't like these papparazzi to be cent richer. i hope that they will cent without bothering the celebrity lives.

It depends.

Assuming I have the resources to buy since celebrity auctions are pretty much expensive, may be I will provided that the item is still useful for me or especially if the auction is intended for a cause. For usually, celebrities do these.

Maybe it actually depends on my mood, hahaha!


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2746)   ranked 293 out of 7,427 in shopping  2 months ago

yeah even if i have the money i will not buy it. i rather have the money used in good purpose.

I understand why some people buy that sort of items, I mean, if you are a big fan or have a collection of such sort of odd stuff (and are wealthy) why not?
I don't think I'd ever buy any such a thing, especially in an auction!


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2746)   ranked 293 out of 7,427 in shopping  2 months ago

i wonder if those are really filthy rich fan that buy them. i don't know any one who are into this thing. i wonder who are those people who turn up in this kind of events. i only know they are rich and that's all.

I think some people are just riped off with this. On Sites like ebay and stuff you can find britney spears used tissues, and the auction starts at $200. I think its stupid. Half the time they are probly being tricked, and it probably not britney spears. Although, if it was a cool piece of clothing from a celebrity i might buy it, but not if its got a ridiculas price, i mean whats the point. If you were it down the street no-one will know it was a celebrity. I may as well go and by one from a clothing shop.


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2746)   ranked 293 out of 7,427 in shopping  2 months ago

i don't think those celebrity items in auctions in ebay are for real. i think they have real place for auctions and not just on online site for real celebrity items.

Of course not, they are just same ordinary people and I don't want to buy used items,even if it's a celebrity's lol.

And look at the price, some people can be so silly to buy them despite the price and take pride because they have celebrity items and those celebrity or their sponsors making money out of it. If they have enough money and it's just a hobby then let them be, but if you're an ordinary person and wish to get those thousand dollars items just because it's used by celebrity, I think that is silly.

But is it any different if I am an ordinary person and I dream to own a painting of a dead once celebrated artist like Van Gogh. How I wish but if it's overpriced, then it changes my feeling about a thing. In a way people buy them because they can afford it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. hotsummer (2746)   ranked 293 out of 7,427 in shopping  2 months ago

i only wish to buy them if i can resell them in much higher price and i will be assured that many will be interested to buy that from me.
