Bands - auction yourselves for a private gig?

Check this cool idea: Bands should auction off themselves on NZMusic.com to play a private gig. On eBay, at present, there's a solid US indie rock band Local H so far getting US$9170 to play a private gig, with 5 days left to bid. Bidding started at $500 on 3-4 days ago and fans are pooling their cash to get the gig...

Can i get a raise on 2 vodkas and mad jacks anyone? let say $500 eh?

excuuuuuooooouuuuse me TLBT is already booked at my place for a big pot of home made soup. Quad said so

We'd play any where in the southern hemisphere for $500 big ones!! Name the time and place and we'll be there.
Offer excludes residents in Gore

PS: I like a light sprinkling of grated cheese in my tomato soup.

would any kiwi bands actually do this? i think it would be awesome. i'd definately bid on a few that i like, although i dont think i'd win anything with my $8.

//would any kiwi bands actually do this?

You seem to have missed the posts above.
TLBTs offer is not a joke.
For $8 you can sit in on a band practice (ear plugs supplied).
Get bidding you mugs.

i thought you were kidding.
hmm, $8 to sit in on a band practice (plus free earplugs! woo!) sounds like a purdy good deal. i suppose airfare to the south island would be the buyers responsibility?
