Enjoyed the show today and started to develop a crush on Tony Danza.

He really has gotten better with age and when he started singing it just made him more attractive.

Bonnie is just a pleasure to watch.

I want to make a comment about all these angry people about the give and get. I think they are grinches and what part of giving to charity should you get something??? I think people have forgot what this holiday is about and need to remember that there is alot of people who aren't going to get even a hot meal let alone a present. I think it is horrible how this holiday has gone so crazy and it isn't about families anymore or being together it is who can get the most. Anway you keep up the great work and the great charity work and God Bless you and your family this holiday.

uggghhh so you've heard it before I know.... but geeze Bonnie I was REALLLYYY excited about the coffee machine and I got locked out at 11 and 3..........oh sorry I was busy wiping the tears off the keyboard...........It was sad but you are such a gosh darn nice gal I could never be upset with you. I'm YOUR BIGGEST FAN! ok so I'm a bit of a dramaniac anywhoo I'll keep watching ( but I am telling your mother) just kidding girl don't cry.

WOW! A coffee machine for $10 donation. Must be a JOKE. Yup it is, I thought I had 1 and got errored out through paypal. I've been out of work since June and can't afford good Christmas gifts. I thought this would be a great Christmas gift. Is Bonnie an evil Grinch? You need a more secure check out so items aren't "stolen". And 1 item per person? I was able to check purchase history link and some selfish people are getting 2 or even 3. Yea this is a Joke & Bonnie is an Evil Grinch

Bonnie,
I hope you get Ebay to truly limit the "give and get" to one item by prefilling the quantity box. In the meantime, take their generous donation for more than the $10, send them only one, and then give the extras directly to the cancer facility to do as they see fit. Thanks.

I see why people are complaining about the gift and give......you should have walked through the purchase on the show- however, although the items sell out- I am trying to give and all I get is a no items found page!

I was lucky enough to win one of the Elmo's yesterday.

Was I ever disappointed to find out that Canadians are not included in the 'Give and Get'.

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know the auction for today's give and get prize was over in less than 5 minutes. So, it's not really fair at all. By the time you sign in to ebay, its over.

I just tried for the Coffee Maker at 3:00, I was on ebay, was able to click on the auction, put it in my cart, buy it, go to paypal, go through to paypal and enter my password, and then right before I was to finish the transaction, I received a message that there weren't enough products..I've been on ebay for over 10 years...This has NEVER happened to me before, if the items weren't available,I should NOT have been able to click BUY IT NOW , AND go through the entire process of going through paypal..I'm rather upset because I typed in my password...If I didn't know anybetter, I would think this was a scam...Of course, it is the Bonnie Hunt show on National Television, but I'm sorry, something is not right! I should NOT have been able to go through all of the steps if the items were gone...I did all of this within 1 minute...I did not procrastinate...I have a FAST laptop...there was simply no reason for this...I don't like this contest...just my opinion. I know that you don't have any control over this Contest Bonnie, but you really should have someone look into this.

Enjoyed the show. Hope Bonnie is feeling better. Sounds like you have to be Ebay savvy to attempt the Give and Get....like the show just the same.

I was like many others, at paypal with the coffee maker but by the time I hit confirm, I got a message that item was no longer available. The system should not let you over to paypal to pay for the item and then remove the item from you. VERY CRANKY!!!!!!!!!

Hello to the folks trying for the Give & Get. There were only 35 available at the 3:00 slot..I assume similiar amounts at the other times. Let's say 100 products or so available all day. If you want a chance to bid on one, sign into your ebay account early, and sign into your paypal account early. Then right at the stated time, "buy it now." This is not an UNlimited supply.

For the huge number of viewers, it is no surprise they are gone in 30 seconds.

PS--Bonnie Rox!!!

Your show was great, it's too bad that you always seem to be rushed. I wanted to comment on the give and get project. I think it is a wonderful thing that you are doing. I have been out of work for most of the year and ran out of unemployment and not eligible for emergency benefits, so when I seen this yesterday, I thought this would be a great way to get my girls something for Christmas, while doing something good for a great cause. I missed out on the Elmo doll, they were gone too fast. I decided to try to get the coffee maker for my mom, because she helps us out a lot. I signed in and by 3:01pm eastern standard time they were gone, no way. I do understand that you are only able to have so many, but I feel like there are a lot of greedy people making a profit out of something good. My suggestion to you would be to limit the quantity too one per eBay user. This may or may not alleviate the problem of them selling out within one minute. Just to be fair I would like to still donate the $10.00 to the charity and how can I do this? Thank you for your time, and may God bless you and your show,
Tina

Hi Bonnie: First, I love your show - never miss it. I think you are a natural talk show host.

I am wondering if your Gift n' Give is available to Canadians?? Maybe it is and I am doing something wrong. I really wanted to purchase the Nescafe Dolce Gusto (never seen one before and love it) however, at exactly 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. I logged in (actually got there before they were all gone) and the ebay site accepted my purchase, I confirmed my purchase and when the screen went to the invoice it said the shipping calculator was not available for my address and asked that I enter a shipping cost which I did however, it would not accept this. I am an ebayer and have bought and sold numerous times but have not had this happen before so I am assuming that this site is not available to Canadians?? which is too bad because we love you and wish we were included. Thanks for your show it was great. Brenda

Today's show was Great! My comment is for the host of The Amazing Race. Please ask him what people are suppose to do that want to be on the race, but don't have a partner? I think it would be cool to put two people together who don't know each other, but will do anything to win!!!
I think it would add an element to the show. I LOVE THE RACE AND WATCH IT EVERY YEAR!!Thank you and have a wonderful holiday.

Bonnie,
I really enjoy your show. The give and get idea is good but EBAY certainly made a boo boo in my opinion. I put the coffee machine into my cart went to checkout (as a guest) and put in all of my information hit submit and EBAY gave me an error page. This sent me back to the information page, I tried again and received an error page again all the time showing I had the machine in my cart. By this time it was 3 mins. after and I could not get the machine. Although I had it in my cart it was taken away from me. Not much in the Christmasy spirit really more Grinchy! :(

Hi Bonnie, I love your show.I went on the Give To Get It site and I had the coffee maker but when I went to finalize the purchase it said there was nothing in the cart. I believe like someone else has written that someone is buying all of them up. I think it should be only one per person so that everyone has a chance. Thanks for being so entertaining and for being the special person that you are.

Hey Bonnie, Great show and pretty kid friendly while we are playing to have in the background for a change from PBS!
I must say I am a little confused by this give and get. I purchased it and hit confirm and them it said there was an error? I had it and it was ripped from my fingers:( haha. Just thought it would be great since I am expecting my 4th child and will really need the caffeine after this pregnancy since my last is only 10 months. I will try again at 6 and I will get all excited to win and hopefully not get disappointed again! Keep the show funny and tell your camera guy who bent down today to see the tree that he is pretty funny. Good connection between you two!

Hey Bonnie,

I am very upset. I just was told that I was able to purchase today's Nescafe appliance and yet after paying via PayPal I was told there was an error and when I was taken back to the page it said no more items available.
That is totally wrong.
It was clear that I had the time and that it was purchased???
What the heck is going on anyhow. Maybe Ebay was not the best way to do this Give and Get charity.
I am very disappointed right now. I waited by this PC from 2:30 until 3:00 and was so happy I actually was able to be a part of this and then I got slammed.
Sincerely, June in Vermont.
P.S. Maybe because Vermont isn't as popular as the others, but we should still count for God's sake!!!!

This Give and Get isn't giving or getting! I also made it all the way through to finishing at Paypal and there were 60 left. By the time I hit the button to complete my order it said there was a problem, then sent me back to 54 left and by the time that completed it said the item was sold out. This isn't right! Once you opt to Buy it Now, NO ONE else should be able to purchase that item out from under you! Something isn't right with AuctionCause, because a BIN means you get the item! And of course we want to and are trying to pay right away! PLease fix the problem!
