How much will Brigitte Nielsen's fat sell for?

Voided

Someone must have convinced her to change her mind, because she hasn't mentioned the idea of an auction in almost a month. This market had no option for "no auction" so it will be voided. (I'm glad, because this market was disgusting!)

Background:

Yuk!

Brigitte Nielsen tries a comeback on German television in a documentary about plastic surgery - on herself. "Turning Old Into New", is the title of the show.

Yuk!

Some of the fat removed from Nielson by liposuction on her hips, thighs and love handles will reportedly be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Yuk!

Anyone interested?

For how much will this fat be sold?

This question should suspend at the end of the auction or whenever the selling amount is known, respectively - regardless when the sale actually takes place. Since it is not known right now, when and how the auction/sale will happen, the suspend date will be edited accordingly as soon more information is available.

Shouldn't there be an option "Fat will not be auctioned" - or would that be covered be $1000 or less?

Shouldn't there be an option for someone is punished by having to receive this?

Maybe the fat should be donated to the Anorexia Research Fund

Welcome to the FAT POOL.

It's illegal on Ebay. Where will it be sold? How fast will this gross question be voided? I'm betting anyway...Enjoy the Fat of the Land.

I think the bigger the jar the more it will fetch. Demented fersure.

@randburg: it's not known right now, how/where this auction will take place. I think it's likely it will be in context of the tv-show - but I dunno.

If no auction takes place before the fat decomposes, this question ought to be voided ;)

Thanks for the clarification #7, Kruijs.

Personally, I've got enough fat of my own, don't think I need to go buying someone else's right now!

Why is this being voided now? I asked a month ago about the "no auction" option...
posted 16 weeks ago
@matt - Sorry, I guess your original question was never officially answered (although the question author clarified correctly in comment #7 that the question would be voided if there was no auction)... in the future if you have a question about how a question will settle, hit the "Flag for review" button which sends an email directly to me.
