Good Act (Now)

Biddingforgood.com

Do you suffer from late-night binging? Itchy palms? Credit card fatigue?

If you answered  “yes” to any of the above, you may be a victim of OAA: Online Auction Addiction. And you’re not alone. Millions of Americans spend countless nights at their computers doling out too much money for other people’s crap.

But now, for an unlimited time, you can change your addictive habits by clicking on Biddingforgood.com, the Cambridge-based site where nearly 100 nonprofits auction off thousands of items — Madonna’s children’s books, Uggs designed by Matthew McConaughey, and lunch with local gal Ellen Pompeo. Proceeds go directly to the charities, and you can search by cause or item.

Paula from Framingham writes: “I can bid on holiday gifts and clean up the environment all at once!”

Act now and you’ll also receive warm fuzzy feelings — absolutely free.

Warning: Daily consumption may potentially make you a better person.
