Okay--when was the last time anyone here was at a bachelor/single lady auction? What am I doing either right or wrong to have never seen one?
Sorry ita, can't help you, never been to one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was at one in high school! It was not super glamorous like on the tv, although it was fun.

never been to one, I think of them as things that only happen on soap operas.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I've seen the one in Groundhog Day about... let's see, seen the movie probably thirty times, with what, three or four iterations per viewing? But outside of that, I got nothin'. Never even heard of one happening in real life.
I had to stop and think a second about whether it had ever happened at Faire, but, no. With that particular group of awesomely strange people, the potential for a bachelor auction going severely Wrong is just too great.

I've only seen Bachelor Auctions in fanfic. Then again, I haven't been to a lot of auctions period. The only one that comes to mind in the past 10 years or so would be the silent auction to benefit a local rape crisis center, and I can't imagine a bachelor auction being appropriate for that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In case you were wondering....

Because books.
Bachelor auctions happen a lot in romance, too.
