I also had trouble going on to donate $10 for the coffee maker. It kept telling me there were no items in EBay under Bonnie Give and Get.
Hope you can resolve this, because it's a great idea. I hope some people aren't taking advantage of it.
LOVE YOUR SHOW! I tape it everyday and watch it once I get home, get my jammies on and my feet up!

OH People leave Bonnie alone, give and get yourself our of your house and quit trying to score a deal under the guise of giving back to a charity. If your so gung ho about giving back then log online and donate to a charity and get the satisfaction of giving without receiving.

Also I think there are too many whiners and complainers in the world and I hate to see Bonnie feel obligated to apologize for change things to please those who complain. Do your show how u want and don't apologize for it. Baby Jesus can stay right where he was snug in his little manger.

Thank God for your family, your health, and your life, quit complaining people.

Bonnie's Good Heart to give something to her viewers and benefit her charity is being HIJACKED by computer scripts. The reality is that very few of the average viewers are going to be able to get this.

Ebay had a Holiday contest where you could buy items worth a lot of money for 1 buck..and that has been hijacked by computer scripts, too.

Keep trying...but just understand that your chances are very slim.

Hi Bonnie,

First of all, let me tell you how much our family just loves your show. Especially my children, ages Breighlyn 11 & Brenhan 13. The wholesomeness and family oriented content makes your show the one my children always want to watch. Keep up the great work!

Now, that being said, I have to agree with the lady who emailed you (but I am not angry) re: the give and get promotion. It is a great idea, but in actuality, it is very frustrating. I clicked on Buy-it-now as soon as today's auction came up at 3 pm PST, BUT before I could confirm my bid, within a second (high-speed internet), they were all sold out!!!! By 3:01 p.m. PST they were all completely gone. I think this is a great promotion, for a great cause, but it saddens me to think of how many other people felt as dissapointed as I did when it all disappeared within seconds. Just for thought.......

**~~Happy Holidays to you and all of your staff and the best of the New Year to everyone~~**

Your adoring family of fans,

The Wylie's
Scott, Erin, Brenhan & Breighlyn

How frustrating to think we can help your organization and then not! At 3pm Pacific time I was ready hit buy it and now and was sent to EBay and then they said my password was not correct. Then they locked me out. We already have an Ebay account and have for about 8 years. Very dissapointing I did not win this item and help your organization.
Please help. Very frustrated.
I still love your show even if this wonderful site is not working.

DITTO DITTO DITTO, B!tc4 & whine!!!

Same story as above... I logged in to ebay and paypal, hit Buy It Now at 6:00:02, and when I went to the next page it gave me an error and then said sold out!

Very disappointed, but I'll keep watching anyway. You're show is great and I love that you keep it so REAL.

Been trying since 11 am PST and every time I go to the give & gift, then linked to ebay, signed-in, says there are 0 items!!!!
All day long! What's goin' on!?!?!?
Well I guess I'll just try again tomorrow since it's after 3pm PST... =/

Hey Bonnie what's up with the "Give and Get" program. No matter how closely I log on to the next release of the gift, it's sold out.

I love your show and had a good laugh about "Baby Jesus" in placed in the Nativity Scene on Christms morning. We had five kids on 7 years and the "fight was on" to see who got to put "Baby Jesus" in the manager!

P.S. I was raised in the Harlem & Irving area of Chicago and can truly relate of your stories about going home. Your Mother is my Mother!!

HELP..you have a problem with whats going on in ebay ,,,not working...my daughter and i both tried in different cities ...gone tooooo fast.some one has something going on not fair.

I was super excited when I got to the part where it showed me a picture of the coveted coffee machine instead of saying 0 items left!
Imagine my dismay when the four minutes it took me to set up an ebay account was four minutes too long. Man! I really wanted to get this so I could have a cool Christmas gift for my mom.
Knowing that other fans in the HuntNation had a similar experience was semi-consoling.
Bottom line, I'm happy that all the money (regardless of how many are offered, or that that one guy bought FIVE grr) goes to an awesome cause.
Way to use your powers for good Bonnie!
PS: I didnt know baby Jesus wasn't supposed to be in the manger either! I went to Catholic School! yikes!

cant believe the give and get...Its such a good cause and Its so great that the items are selling, but unfortnately I tried to get todays Item at 3 and 6. I was on the sight both times a minute early and clicked refresh a bunch of times, and all it said was 0 Items for sale!!! what?!?! Ive read your comments and Its sad If people are buying more than one, yet great that the money is being sent...but for anyone buying more than one, your very selfish..the holiday season is for giving!!!!! also BONNIE I LOVE YOU!!!!!! Im so excited to have a show that isnt so set on the normal hollywood talk show production. Its real, and real funny and it makes me so happy everyday! Ive gotten about 7 family members to whatch, and 5 friends hooked on the show, so you've got the 20 somethings lovin ya!!!

I guess I'm not the only one this happened too. I was logged in and ready to go at 2:59, tried multiple times to buy the Nescafe coffee maker, but unfortunately it said that there were 0 items left. I hope this is an error, because I thought for sure I'd get one... I really love/want the red one!!

HELPPPPP!! Give & Get Promotion.

My wife asked me to go on line for this event today. I went online all three times, and kept refreshing the page every second, until the item became available at 11pm, 3pm, and 6pm. The first two times I got through to the final stages of getting my pay pal info in, and then it came back both times and said the item was no longer available, and that someone else got it while they were verifying my information (even though I obviously was one of the first ones to click on the item).

The last time was unbelievable!!! I waited and waited refreshing the page every second and again was able to see the item and clicked it and said buiy now. One page later it said it was no longer availble!!

I view myself as pretty computer literate, but apparently to succeed in this promotion you have to be some sort of Ebay Expert, knowing all of the tricks to immediately get it paid for, and skipping processes.

A very disappointing experience for a worthy cause!!!

Dave & Margaret from Indy!!

I TOO HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE COFFEE MAKER, AND AM UNSUCESSFUL IN GETTING TO BUY ONE.
I THINK PART OF THE PROBLEM MAYBE WHEN YOU CLICK
ON THE ICON ON TUESDAY IT SAYS ELMO ALIVE.

I WANT ONE, IF YOU GET THE PROMBLEM FIXED.

Below you will find proof that I copied all that it would allow me to. But I still have it saved on my desktop, showing the auction ending in 12 sec. It is TOTALLY WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was already checked out at Paypal and it did not even confirm my bid in an email as is NORMAL procedure in EBAY!!!!!!!!!

Hey Bonnie -

Absolutely love your show!!!! Hope you feel better. Have you tried some Elderberry Zinc lozenges? They really work on a cold and they taste good too (unlike some zinc lozenges - yuck)?

Anyway, I too tried to win the Nescafe Dolce Gusto item today. I actually got into click on purchase the item and when I clicked to confirm my purchase it came up as transaction canceled - item has ended. Within the 2 seconds of confirming my purchase the item ended? That is way weird and especially since I was logged in and right on the exact hour to start purchasing. I even logged in early to keep refreshing the page until the item popped up on the site. Oh well, I guess taking 2 seconds to make a purchase is way to slow....

Well, nevertheless, love your show, the set, the band, your guests! Have a happy holiday season!

Hi -
Your "Get & Give" is a great idea; but seems impossible to obtain! Very frustrating...., but I do realize it is all about the fundraising, and from that POV it is working for you. Nonetheless, frustrating from this POV.
Merry Christmas and good luck with your fundraising.

very disappointed in the auction. As it states at 600pm est a new batch of coffee makers will be ready for auction. Well news for you, as I logged on as I did throughout the day 1100am and 300pm and 600pm the page constistely states 0 items for bonnie hunt give and get. I believe this is phony advertisement. This not only reflects your webiste but on bonnie hunt also. what a fluke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie,
How frustrating to think we can help your organization and then not! At 3pm east coast I was ready was sent to EBay and then they said my password was not correct . So I went in to your site to set up a new password, it was excepted. Ready at 6pm clicked on, sent me to EBay and entered the new password and the same thing, wrong password. Was I suppose to use my password with your show? or have a special account with EBay? Please help. Very frustrated.
I still love your show even if this wonderful site is not working. Hope you continue to feel better.
Love,
Cathy

I don't even know what to say Bonnie, except that I was heart broken when I did not get an Elmo for my granddaughter, but having the coffemaker sold out by 6:01 is rediculous. It makes me feel as if it does not matter how early I sit in front of my computer and dash to my keys I'll never be able to buy and item. It feels so unfair.
