KW,
Wasn't Daryl Hunter going to OZ this week? I wonder if he is the celeb all the hoopla is about.
Quote from article: The blokes also say an international guest may visit them the weekend and hint that it could be somebody famous.

Well here it is then...for the non-linkers
SYDNEY, Australia - An offer of beer, sausages and a chat with four Aussie blokes has set off a bidding frenzy on the Australian eBay online auction site.
Their pitch is simple: an offer of no-questions-asked camaraderie.
"We'll be your best mates -- instantly!" they say. "You won't have to try and impress us. We don't even care who you are. And you'll get to experience the thrills and spills of hanging out with four good blokes in a relaxing, sun-filled environment."
Included in the winning bid is a bit of food, some drink and some conversation -- but not much else.
"We won't fly you here. Heck, we won't even pay for your bus fare," the message says. "What we WILL do is guarantee you some beers, some snags (sausages), some good conversation and a hell of a lot of laughs."
By Wednesday, there had been more than 100 bids for the weekend in Sydney, and with two days left, the price already had soared to nearly $79,900.
In a written response to questions, eBay.com.au said the listing was attracting some bids that weren't serious, which the seller was canceling.
The blokes also say an international guest may visit them during the weekend and hint that it could be somebody famous.
"Will it be a celebrity? Maybe," they say. "What about a sporting legend? It could be."
