The young lady who owns runs the internet company tamba.co.uk is auctioning herself off as a wife for £250K!

Go check it out http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1677522500

I wouldnt be suprised if i saw 200 other internet company MD's from here on auction as a husband or wife in the near future :D

Out of interest would anyone put a bid in?

(im not affiliated with tamba, im just a newbie)

I thought she was joking about that...

*keeps his comment to himself*

Greg Moore

Not a bad looking girl....but i would have to say no to a bid.

It's true though. Most business men and women make sacrifices in order to achieve success. Things such as dating, starting a family, spending time with the kids...etc

Oh well...i wish her the best of luck.

Too bad i'm already hitched :D ;)

I would not pay no £3,000,100.00 for no wife. Thats $3,810,000+

err 6 million now.. get the feeling it's not much of a serious offer? :D

Greg Moore

thats what I thought but if its true I hope no one there was playing when they placed that bid.

ebay caught a hold of this, and now it has been deleted and I blame all of you I was really looking to getting me a wife. :(

This is what I got when I tried to use their humanclick to talk to them.

Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'tamba'
tamba: Hello may I help you?
you: How did the auction go?
you: I didn't get a chance to place my bid :)
you: hello

heehee When I saw that auction a few hours a go, I went to their human click thingie and asked if it was true - they said yes.

I proceeded to ask...

- Does she have low mileage?
- Any worn parts?
- Any previous owners?
- Does she give much bang for buck?

They closed the chat :)

I personally think it was a great publicity stunt - set the bid at £25,000 but the reserve at £999,000,000. I mean, her site looks ****e in honesty. Probably needs the extra sales.

Full service history?
Long MOT ;)


Edit: me notes 200 posts maybe catching up on my old wireplay.com post hey ww

heehee LC :D

--James

The bidding reached TEN MILLION !

If you failed to notice she's a brummie! Although you could marry her and then divorce her a year later and take half of her buisness. easily claim back your ten million and then maybe more.


Providing she doesnt make you sign a pre nuptial :) And i dont condone marrying for money either

I believe this to be the thread (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24074) that started the whole "marriage" thing. :D

She's kind of cute.

Damn! Why didn't I think of that about 3 years ago, before I my husband... I could've been rich! hehe

Oh well, sorry she didn't get a husband but the PR worked pretty well, eh?

Hey, now there's a thought...wonder how much I could get for my woman (http://capabara.com/ladyrow.html) :D

...and no, she doesnt mind me posting her pic so long as she doesnt know about it, so SHHHH!! ;)

Yeah, right:rolleyes:

If she's really yours, are you sure you want to sell her?:D

Sure I would. I would get the money, then she would break up with ya and come back to me.....in the end I have both my woman and your money...and you'd be too broke to sue me..LOL

and yes she really is mine :)

In my opinion, if she managed to get herself into so many news sources (even N-TV/CNN.de), you're for sure bidding (i hate to say this word) on a smart future wife. ;)

i'm not going to pay some chick any amount of money, simply b/c i can go out with a fine looking girl at my school for free.

ok, it's 1:22a.m... bedtime :)

I recognise that feeling ;) (both of them hehe :D )

Ms Hammond, who's MD of TAMBA Internet, added: "There have got to be similar people to me who work long hours and have sacrificed their personal life making a success of their professional life."

Work long hours and sacrifice personal life? Yah, definatly.
Making a success of my professional life? Hardly :(

And I definatly meet the requirement of having a smaller hosting company :rolleyes:

Being unmarried at age 24 isn't that big a deal. Just wait till you are unmarried at 31, now THAT is a big deal :D

Hmm, hang on. So I sacrificed my personal life, didn't even make a success of my professional life, am 31 and unmarried?

Sorry, gotta run. If I hurry maybe I can throw myself in front of the 9.30 southbound freight train.

Heh, I know exactly what you mean.

Sorry, gotta run. If I hurry maybe I can throw myself in front of the 9.30 southbound freight train.
:eek: :eek: :eek:
Easy there buddy...

You are still better than me.
Not only do I sacrifice personal life, I am sacrificing everything
including my whole families:bawling:

So, there!
Don't litter the railway track:D

hmmm wonder if i should auction myself off...

Let's see your pic and I'll tell you if you are going to waste your
listing fee on ebay or not:D

what so you can digitally undress me... hmm are you female :)

What/Who do you want me to be?

On the net, you could almost be what ever you want to be:D

hmm... ok that was a little scary... umm...

I'm 30 and unmarried. I have nieces and nephews that are married! Thanks for reminding me. :(

Of course they're trailer park trash, but I wouldn't mind being married by now.

All of us overworked single web hosters should get together and do an auction all together. Now that tamba has done it, it would seem like we were all silly copy cats if we did it one at a time.

But if we all did it together, hmm...

We could all meet in grenwich and take a group photo.

Of course I might just go ahead and order that russian bride, svetlana. :)

Does ebay support item grouping?

I think they have something called Dutch auction:D

when I first got on the internet (I was 16 - now I am 23) within a few weeks, I got an email from some Russian agency asking if I wanted to order a 'beautiful Russian bride' - send an SAE to XXXXXXX and get a catelog.

Weird

I discovered uses for my penis at age ten. :o

hmm.. perhaps this thread got a little off topic..

Woman 'shocked' at £10m internet auction bid

A 24-year-old internet entrepreneur who auctioned herself as a wife says she's shocked that bids reached £10 million.

Kay Hammond, from Birmingham, put a reserve price of £250,000 on the eBay auction.

But the internet auction site has now withdrawn her advert less than 24 hours after it appeared.

An eBay spokeswoman says: "It's a grey area, but there are certain things that aren't considered appropriate, like people selling their virginity or their soul."

Ms Hammond, who's managing director of TAMBA Internet told Ananova: "I'm not selling my body and I'm not selling sex - I'm selling the whole thing."

She adds: "I can't believe people are bidding for me. I'm thrilled - and shocked. It's so bizarre."

She's received around 600 emails since the ad appeared and is considering putting herself up for auction on other auction sites.

The eBay spokeswoman says the 11 bids aren't valid and that the auction has been "annulled".

I'm the biggest matchmaker / yenta of them all. At my peek I handled 17 successful introduction in 1 year that lead to weddings. I love weddings. there is nothing more joyful.

Mostly geek guys ended up with nice girls ( scale of 1 to 10 I'd say 7.5 for the girls ) so if your a guy in northern NJ, from the ages of 28 to 45 then I have some woman in my roledex that could be of interest to you.

Currently I'm working on doing an intro for a 30 ish 2 time rodhes (sp?) scholar. Brains, looks and built ( size 10 - 11 dress )
