Harp instead is giving her stomach space to The Golden Palace Casino."The highest bidder at first was SunPoker.com but I decided after the auction ended not to go with them and decided to go with The Golden Palace Casino," Harp said. "I guess his feeling was that it was binding that you went with them the highest bidder," the reporter said. "No, even if I was selling T-shirts or anything else on eBay, as a seller, I have the right to decide who I want to sell to." Local 6 News reported that according to the auction site's rules, once bidding ends, a product must go to the highest bidder and that the auction is a binding contract."EBay did not have a response.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
