trudi mariscal,

Your idea is not possible on Ebay. She obviously can only get so many free items from the manufacturer. They aren't going to last long. People with computer programs are going to be trying to get them.

The only way I can see to even the playing field is to turn off the pay immediately function. Also, the rules state a limit of one. So anyone who buys more than that needs to have the additional ones taken away from them.

I have high-speed access and was signed in to Ebay and at Bonny's site just waiting till 3:00 to click on the item. Clicked at 3:00 and again and again. No luck. It still said 0 available just like it did when I tried to get Elmo yesterday. That was sure a waste of time.

tried to buy the coffe maker and got this message??

Hi Bonnie,
I followed all of the links to your Give & Get but once I reached Ebay it said that there was nothing listed for "Bonnie's Give & Get". What am I doing wrong? I also follow your times for release but that didn't seem to make a diference. HELP!!!

Hi Bonnie,
My mom and I watch your show every day. We were saying how good it is to have a show on that makes you laugh every day.

I can see that I'm not the only one having problems with the give and get sight. I'm not sure what's happening with it. I too tried to get on and got the same things as everyone else so it seems that with so many of us having problems maybe there's a glitch somewhere.

I'm certainly not going to let it bother me though.
Your show is great. Have a great day and a blessed Christmas.

Lori

Hey Bonnie!

I adore you and think your show is so much fun. I heard you comment that you really don't know how to dress and I have also noticed that a lot of the people who are working on the show are not living up to their fashion potential. I would love to come out there and do a What Not To Wear-esque episode to help you guys along. I will make you the comfy casual fashion plate of daytime TV. Let me know!

I have fast access DSL and it does not make a difference.

Bonnie
I love your show! Its the first show that is fun and has wonderful humor. Your so funny and I thank you for making me laugh.

Hello

I watched the Dec. 9th show and I love the fact that Bonnie put the Menorah on her desk. Now she has Baby Jesus and the Menorah on her desk. I think she needs to add a crescent for the all the muslims out there. I happen to be one. I watch the show every single day. I love Bonnie and I thought that including all three major religions would be a great idea. We happen to be celebrating a holiday in December.
Thank you

Hi Bonnie,

I love your show. Never really enjoyed watching tv. Never really had time working and raising 5 kids. But now Unemployed along with the rest of America I have some time on my hands. Your show is the only show I really enjoy watching. Thank you for being you. Hope you get well soon. I use to drink tea, honey, apple cider vinegar, or lemon and eucalyptus oil. Hope all is well. Love your get and give idea. Its wonderful idea for the holidays especially in todays state of economy. Thank you Nicky

Hey Bonnie,

I think you are extremely hot. My girlfriend gets jealous when I say it, but hey, it is her fault for watching the show. You are a very attractive woman, and if I was ten years older (I'm 23) I would ask you out.

Bonnie, I was reading the comments (I posted a long one before). I thought I would help some out.

Unfortunately, if one does not have the high speed internet or fast computer, you do not have a chance at the Give and Get it prize. It seems that the limit is 50-60 each at 3 times a day. They all go within a minute. (I am a person who has dial up because I live on a farm and cannot get anything faster--the commercials lie, not everyone can have faster internet connections, I have a view of the southern sky, but it seems you have live within 10 miles of a satellite tower that transmits the internet, which I do not live within).

Anyway, if one logs on before or after that one minute window, one does not get to see the item. It states the seller does not have an item.

Bonnie, I do have a suggestion, it is possible to only offer the Give and Get item to people in their time zones and don't state that time? Say, if one lives in the East Coast, your show is at noon to 1:00 p.m.. Only east coast people have from 12:00 - 1:00 to go to Ebay and donate. Your show does it at 12:18 one day, the next day 12:43, etc. The Midwest shows airs at 11:00 - noon, the Get and Give goes at 11:13 one day, 11:53 the next day, etc. The only catch is that if you live in the East coast you can only donate during the east coast time, the midwest can only donate during their time, mountain time during their air time, etc.

Maybe this way, it's more open for everyone... this is just a suggestion. Seems like some people are upset. It just seems that everyone logged on at the hour and the items are gone within a min.

What do you think???

Good luck with your show. I do hope they keep you on. Seems lately if I like a show, the networks take it off. I loved watching the Ex List and all of a sudden they took it off. I love your show and I hope it doesn't go off. I want you to be the next Oprah!!

Many of you are probably unfamiliar with Ebay. You can see the purchases and the time here:

Watch for a pattern.
Some people did get more than 1. There are people who are going to be selling these things and are using computer programs. It is just a fact of life. Bonnie is trying to do a good thing. She needs to have them turn off the pay for it immediately function and see if that will help.

Hi, I went on the ebay give & get early and instantly clicked "buy it now" and got it, confirmed it, and won it only to find out after that I lost it. I've done ebay for a long time and I don't understand how this can happen. I am so very disappointed. I also check the "Bid History" and all the winners were from the West Coast. Something is not right. Why aren"t there any East Coast winners? I am from the east coast and feel that this should be rectified. Also how can you win something and then have it taken away? Please address this. I love your show Bonnie but am very disappointed and upset by this. Thank you

Hi Bonnie,
I wanted to let you know that I Love Your Show. I also wanted to comment about the item you are auctioning off today. Although, as if now I only have one more chance to win this and donate. It is very important to me to win this and be able to donate for this cause. I just lost my Mom on November 26,2008 and had her funeral last Tuesday,December 2,2008. She was dignosed with Liver-Lung Cancer on November 18,2008. She was taken to the hospital for a low pulse rate on November 12,2008 and then we got the news on November 18,2008. They said she had 3-6 months to live without chemo and I only had her home 5 days and God called her home. With her living with me since 2001 and I am the one who went to wake her up and she was gone, home alone was my worst fear. I was touched that you are collecting for Cancer Research, for all types of Cancer. We hear so much about needing money for alot of other cancer's but this was the first time I had heard Anyone Collecting For All Cancer Research. I Thank You. My Mom was young, only 61 and they had told her that she had cancer for over a year and she never knew it. I dont know how this happens but it did in her case. I know she is in a better place but at this time I find myself crying all the time with me being selfish wanting her here with me again. I take it day by day as all loved ones do when they lose someone but I want you to know that Your Show give's me a Smile for at least an hour of my day and I Thank You For That.
God Bless,

Hi, Bonnie...I just wanted to say that it is so refreshing to actually hear "Merry Christmas"!
I am so sick of "Happy Holidays"...and the fact that you try to get Baby Jesus out of his manger to put Him back in on Christmas is just the right thing to do...
From one Chicago Catholic Girl to another...thanks!

Don't worry about the c/o the Ebay thing. People are so damn greedy!!

Get well and love ya!!!!

This is the third time I tried to get todays gift The Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine. THERE AINT ANY! If you are offering them then it should be there. I went on at 3pm all the way to 3:50 pm and there are none. I watched your show and if there are none of the gifts then someone is fooling someone. $10.00 I would gladly give. Thanks for nothing. Janice A. Slott Please e-mail me with a reply.

Thank you!! I won!! But it took quick fingers and many many refreshes starting at 2:55.... With a 4 month old and a husband in the car business this will be a perfect gift for a family member since we can't afford much... This makes my Christmas! Thank you Bonnie!!
