eBay offers Buffett for lunch
New York (NY) – Ever dreamed of having lunch with one of the world’s richest people ?

The lucky, and probably very wealthy, winner will able to invite six guests for a sumptuous meal at the Smith & Wollensky restaurant in New York.

Last year’s auction raised $620,000 dollars and the restaurant kicked in an additional $10,000. This works out to about $11 a second for a hour and a half lunch.
The bidding starts today at $25,000 and closes on Friday at 9 PM Central Daylight Time. Bidders must pre-qualify through eBay’s Kompolt service, which requires a short telephone interview.
