  • pwill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11It's only been on for about a hour so far, already 112 bids, and $100,000
    • curtissthompson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I'm rarely ever even browse through eBay, but was wondering from someone who knows...what eBay's policy is toward bid fraud...and how that all works and plays in to the bidding process?
    • jus1haz2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31US $99,999,999.00
      I wonder if the ebay accounts are legit? I bet they are just hacked accounts bidding extremly high
    • Software2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+47Not hacked. It's just some morons who think they're funny by ruining a charity fundraiser.
    • rootneg2, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1$100million? seriously, the Mona Lisa was cheaper than that...

      http://history1900s.about.com/od/famouscrimesscandals/a/monalisa_3.htm
      ( does anybody know what half a million lire is in dollars? I know it's less...)

      I hope for charity's (and humor's) sake that this auction isn't pulled and these people actually pony up the cash; it's probably just some stupid kid though.... *sigh*
    • kyoung989, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7The bidding is pretty funny until you think about it. They're pranking a CHARITY. Show a little class, members of the Colbert Nation. Not everything in life is a brick wall waiting to be graffitied.
    • mv10, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ReturnUserEmail&requested=psolem&redirect=0&ReturnUserEmail=&iid=290040269306

      He (psolem) is the person responsible from ruining the auction for the kids..
      Send him messages telling him how much of a jackass he is.
    • jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The ***** responsible for bidding up the auction to this overinflated price last bought a $14.99 cell phone.

      http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300032886409

      Lets just say he's a fraud.
    • TheBarge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah the crazy thing is that some of the accounts super-bidding have decent reps. I don't get why some asshat with a decent rep would be fake bidding on this. They deserve account bans.

      By the way, I wouldn't blame just psolem. Check out goowijand, or yoshirpg, or any of those guys. I could be wrong, but the history just shows people who seem to be upping their own bids at ridiculous amounts of money.
    • bbatsell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2But if you bid over $15,000, you have to provide a credit card and eBay has to verify it by charging to it, and since bidding is a contract, he can't get out of it, since eBay has his credit card number and name — what the hell was he trying to do?
    • PathDaemon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4People need to realize that the internet is real...
    • themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's going to become the most expensive item on e-bay.
    • Quiwi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Better be careful, seller has 0 feedback XD
  • bushbush, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5For a second I thought it might be a good idea but it's already at $500,000.
    • daza, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1grimman.. that would just be something awful!
  • tyywebb, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1$1,000,100 YEAH COLBERT
  • JasonHoekstra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2341 minutes later and it's up to $1m US. At the end of the nine day auction, this portrait will yield enough to save ALL of the children.
    • Software2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20No, the eBay fees + the PayPal fees will eat most of that up.
    • grimman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Until, of course, eBay/Paypal steps in and locks his account.
  • Anotious, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4lol over 2 million
  • doomonu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I had the first bid. I love it. Holy ***** it's up to 10 mill
  • doomonu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Wow....$77,777,877.77. They really will be able to save ALL the children. They might even be able to pay off the national debt with what's left over.
  • Anotious, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2holy *****

    • baxtermadux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11jesus man, chill out with all that crap. nobody here wants to see your nonsense
    • Quiwi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Parent post is a list of bids up to 80mil (long list is looong)

      unhide if you dare XD
  • Chort, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17For $80 Million it better pleasure me sexually as well.
  • Anotious, on 10/12/2007, -64/+4Ladies and gents we have officaly hit 1 billion dollars...
    Current bid: US $100,000,100.00
  • zaibatsu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Better not let Steve Wynn close to it. He already took out that 140 million dollar Picasso with his elbow.
  • vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22lol. At first I was sad to hear the painting will be gone, till I read what will replace it: This painting "will be replaced with a new portrait, which depicts Stephen standing by his fireplace, in front of a previous portrait, in front of a previous portrait."

    man. the bidding is ridiculous. $99,999,999.00 I thought ebay had a system to outlaw such shinanigans. (excuse my ebay ignorance. i've never used it)
    • nogami, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I thought they had a system installed where you could post an item that would require a credit-card deposit (say $20) in order to bid (so fraudulent bids lost the deposit)...

      ...Or it just wasn't used...

      ...Or they wanted this to happen to give them more material for the show :P
  • Arkonnan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27$99,999,999.00? Too rich for my blood. I would have stopped at $80,000,000.00
  • GrimReeper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1They will be saving all the children and then some!! with all that money.
  • rtini, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's a good demonstration of how easy it is to mess with eBay auctions.
  • burntfire, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4There is NO way the winner will pay that. The last item they bought was a Nokia phone for $15. This, unfortunatly, will be taken down. Too bad.
    • ICSU, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Really? I thought he was going to pay that much ... WTF
  • everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18100 mil. yeah right. good going losers, this is for charity, not 'lets see who can bid the highest amount for ***** and giggles'

    he's gonna have to end up relisting it.
    • doant, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2what he had to live cheap so he could efort a 100.000.000 painting.
    • vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13unfortunately, i guess this is what happens after training the rabid colbert fans to play pranks on website voting and wikipedia. something serious doesn't get taken seriously.
    • ICSU, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I think this will bring more attention so the next serious auction will be even more popular.
  • babyjewels, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I'm sure the guy who's bid on a grand total of two pieces of electronics before this can pay that 99 million. (yes I'm a stalker) I wonder if colbert will roast the guy tomorrow.
  • vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i've never used ebay so perhaps someone can tell me: why do you see in the bidding list people who bid themselves up even though on one bids against them.

    for example, check out goowijand.

    http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=290040269306
    • vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1 typo. "even though on one bids against them. " = even though NO one....
    • talman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Someone set a higher bid limit and then another person tried to make a higher bid but was still lower then the bid limit.
    • deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4They're just jackasses who think they're funny or clever. It's pretty ***** up when people like that ruin a charity auction.
    • aOenEz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7So let's say my eBay handle is A, and another guy's is B.

      I set my max bid on an item as 5 dollars. The list will show that "A" has a max bix of 5 dollars. Now let's say "B" bids 10 dollars. The list will show that "A" bid 5 dollars and then "B" bid 6 dollars. Both of the names will be there.

      Like:

      A: $5
      B: $6

      But then let's say I come back and set my max bid to 100 dollars. If "B" tries to bid say 8 dollars or 10 dollars, it will just show up as if "A" bid it.

      Like:

      A: $5
      B: $6
      A: $7
      A: $8.50
      A: $10
      A: $11.50
      A: $13
      ...
      ...
      A: $100

      Then if "B" finally decides to top $100 his name will show up.

      And I know the explanation sucks, but I'm tired right now -- dead tired. Sorry. Hope you understood it, though.

    what a wuss
  • raabco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7What's amazing is that a seemingly legit bidder posted a $10mil bid.
  • rollingstone21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Honestly cant see it selling for over 2 million
  • Hydraulix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5He should have put it on craigslist.
  • deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3He should have done a live auction on the show.
  • rootneg2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7http://colbertondemand.com/videos/The_Colbert_Report/Colbert_Unveils_His_New_Portrait


    here's the video clip unveiling the new portrait for anyone interested
  • Pottersquash, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1its not unfallable to raise that kid of money (10 mil) it is for charity and this could become a priceless piece of pop cultures. Its just sad that ignorant fans would ruin it. This is why no one takes seriously the daily show/colbert nation sure you want a more capable government but when left you your own devices you cant let the oppurtuinty for a quick joke pass in favor of a more important goal like "Save the Children" be serious, you just made this thing a complete joke.
  • Azur2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I'm not sure it's ignorant FANS who've ruined it. Quite a lot of people dislike Colberts liberalism.
    • OsakaWilson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Which brings up the word 'backwash'.
    • GhengisKhan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2SC is a Libertarian.
    • OrlyonokEaglet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You mean he's only pretending to be a republican? Man I thought he was for real...
    • liquidrums, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He pretends to be an Independent, just how O'Reilly pretends to be one.
  • Battlecry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think Mr. Colbert should fire his webmaster. He left all the directories open on his site. Terrorist bears could easily sneak in at any time.
  • noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well, we know what that means when the auction is up to 100 million dollars... :|
  • Metman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I love the Daily Show as much as anyone (okay I am sure there are some freaks out there who are borderline obsessive), but I do not get the "star"-gazing culture. So what would be worth more in 50 years.. this or the Garcia Beanie Baby?

    *rumble*

    Think the collective IQ of the nation just dropped a few more points.

    • etruscan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3What's the Daily Show got to do with this?
    • WackyComputer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Metman,

      This is a charity auction for Save the Children. What the painting is worth is mute.
    • DerekJ212, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The point is moot, not mute.
  • didoubleg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I hope Stephen goes to his house and askes him for the money
  • p014k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1$30,000,100, wow!
  • cantimolto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just hit refresh and it dropped down to $600,300.00. Looks like the eBay officials are keeping a close eye on this one.
  • jonj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it seems like the top bidder isn't very legit. i believe the sports card guy could afford it, though.
  • stealthboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Why can't Digg have more stories about Colbert? And what about Jon Stewart? He's always overlooked here.
  • wildthing202200, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The auction has been fixed it's now at $13,300.
    • EpilepticMoose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Fixed even more... now at $5,200...
  • theRIAA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"portrait from outside the studio"

    lol
  • ckrickett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0if I had a few thousand I would buy it...
    a) for charity
    and
    b) for ***** and giggles

    but I don't have alot of money randomly around my house so guess I have to pass this "gem" up!
