Office set visit auction for a cause!

Kent Zbornak, co-executive producer of The Office, is auctioning off a set visit to The Office!

All proceeds go to the Office Fans Christmas Fund, benefiting The Office staff members that were laid off after the WGA strike began.

Details of the set visit from Kent:

As part of the Office Fans Christmas Fund, we would like to donate a guest tour of our production. The winner of this auction item and three guests will be given a V.I.P. tour of our shooting facility in Los Angeles and join the cast and crew for lunch. In addition, the winner will get to watch scenes being filmed for an actual episode.

I contacted Kent personally about this auction, and he assures me that it is legitimate.

Tallyheads, please let me know if you bid and win! I would love to feature your report and photos here at OT.

The auction ends December 14th.

   I can’t open myspace from work. How much is the office fund up to? They are surely going to get at least $10k with donations and the ebay prize.

   I would absolutely love to visit the set, (like everyone here)!
   Now I’m sad that my parents already paid $6,000 for my senior trip to Europe… I want to go to Los Angeles for my senior trip!
   LOL.

   Haha #30 — That’s exactly what I was thinking. I do not have that kinda money but will gladly donate myself to be one of the ‘three guests’. :D

   just to respond to people talking about the “money back guarantee”: eBay for some reason wouldn’t let me make the item without letting it display a money back guarantee thing. i’ve never done anything on eBay before, so i just kind of went with the flow. sorry for any confusion! and thanks for posting this!!

   And how I dream Christmas contained no gifts and college was free. When is this set trip going to take place anyway?

    With the bidding well over $4,000 by now, I won’t be attending. Yet, this is an excellent cause and I’m glad the auction appears to be a huge success, for the writers’ sake.

    Holy crap. It’s approaching $5,000 dollars. I wish I had a couple grand lying around. I would do anything to meet the awesome cast and crew behind the show.

    And yet again, being a poor college student screws me over.

    25. hannah  Mon. Dec. 10, 2007 | 3:56pm

    o my gosh! $4,250 is what it’s going for right now!!! :O wow….uk that would be verrrrrrry cool but i am not sure it’s worth THAT much.

    I would very much like to pool my money with other Office fans for this. It’s going to be expensive, but I might be able to swing it if I can split the cost with three other people. Let me know if you’re interested!

    Maybe the money back guarantee is if the strike ends and the desire/need for donations goes away. I can’t imagine whoever buys it, though, would be willing to give up their visit. That extra money could always be donated to Michael Scott’s race for the cure fun run rabies charity.

    I have never wanted to do anything in my life so badly! This would be the greatest thing ever but i have no money and I don’t know how I would ever be able to compete with these people :(

    Well, since the winner can invite 3 guests, for those of you who really want it, just find 3 other Tallyheads and all of you will only pay a fourth… Just a thought.

    This “item” has a 7-day money-back refund policy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that for a charity auction before.
