As part of the TODAY Tag Sale, the TODAY anchors auctioned off some of their prized mementos. All of the money was collected through an eBay charity auction and went directly to the Salvation Army.  TODAY Tag Sale raised a total of $9,551.26 for charity.

I looked at each one of these and was amazed that they sold this stuff in "lots" instead of breaking it apart.  I would imagine that the stuff would have sold better had it been sold individually instead of together.  The other thing that got me was the titles and descriptions.  Instead of putting something like Today Show Ann Curry Olympic Torch Shoes and Pink Mariachi hat.. it's simply "Today Show Auction Ann Curry."  Nothing is mentioned about what is being sold..  Even the descriptions were pretty plain, and only ONE picture.  Maybe next time my favorite morning show could call me.. I'd be happy to make them some cash.

I really think they missed out on a huge market of people.  Not everyone watches the Today Show (can you believe that?).. so what about the collector of Cabbage Patch dolls or bobble heads or maybe even famously worn "used" shoes?  (ewww)  Did they find out about the auction? Probably not.  Which means they missed out on some cash for their charity the Salvation Army.

SOLD $3000.00

Ann Curry - A torch carried by Ann Curry at the Salt Lake City Olympic Games, 2002. Ann says: "I ran with this — there is actually videotape of me running and almost falling in a pothole, live on national television on the TODAY show … I think it now needs to go to someone who will donate for a good cause."

- Two pairs of heels, including one pair of red, well-worn Steve Madden shoes (size 8 1/2). Ann says: "These are kind of my 'signature' red shoes. They've actually stood up to the test of time."

- Pink mariachi hat. Ann says: "I haven't worn this a lot, but maybe somebody else can find a reason to have it — maybe for a party or a gag gift?"
