i think everybody knows by now that 'save toby' is a gag page.  The day of the execution rotates to stay ahead by a few months, and the 'counter' showing the money paid is an image, not a counter.

and as for the others, most of them end with the high bidder refusing to pay (as in the runaway bride-toast image auction) or it turns out to be goldenpalace.com trying to get their name in the news.  :roll:
