I don’t care if he goes cheaply…

I think as with most auctions you’ll see a flurry of late bids. Potential bidders will wait to see what the market determines is an appropriate price for J before jumping in because it is a pretty unique item. I’m guessing final price will be around $2000 if it doesn’t get snapped up with “Buy it Now” feature beforehand.

A bit off topic, but I’m thinking that this auction certainly has the potential to raise the profile of corporate blogging as Jeremy has indicated as one of his goals, but I’d say that if it fails to get much interest and he goes for a bargain it might do damage to the perceived value of paid bloggers to corporations.

Personally I’d care if he does go cheaply, means more money for xmas gifts ;)

I’m winning :D

I’m sure it won’t be for long though. Other folks should be able to see the value in having a serial writter at their disposal for 3 months :)

Michael Specht notes that the “buy now” price of $5000.00 would make the cost per post (over the three month term) $38.00 – $76.00. However, if bids don’t start to roll in, and somebody sneaks in at the end with a $110.00 bid, the price per blog post drops to a whopping $0.84 – $1.71 per post. That’s cheap labor.

Somebody, please “buy him now!”
