Karl had his suit auction removed.

Karl from the Today show listed the suit he had worn for the past 12 months on ebay, it was removed due to the level of bid's ebay must have thought it a hoax.

It's back up

Karl is donating all funds to Women Against Domestic Violence.

Sometimes Karl annoys me but he has proved a point here - it has gone world wide.

Good charity he's chosen - good on him.

Same here Sandy there are day's when I need to turn him off but this is a wonderful charity and he's certainly lived up to his often vocal calls against domestic violence.

I'm not a fan of his either but he's done good on this matter.

I don't watch their morning show but I have noticed that the Murdoch press have been trying to cause some ill feeling between Karl & Lisa. Why I don't know

shame the listing was removed, it was for a good cause

it was removed because it was a newly created

account and it looked sus. plus it may not have been

approved for a charity listing. eBay put it back on very

quickly - after karl said on air he was going to take his

business elswhere

I notice that there are several retracted bids, especially the one for 17 k. How does this work, I thought that once you bid that was it.

I think you need a plausable excuse to be permitted to retract a bid and under certain circumstances.

For instance if I placed a bit on something for say $170.00 but accidently put $17,000

Sellers can cancel bids also if they think the bidder isn't genuine. The id who bid $17,500 was a newly created id.

Hear, Hear.

My only concerns about bidding for this treasure is all in the description.

Fragrant Suit.

Would probably cost $4,000 to have fumigated.

Go Karl.
