The Seattle Super Dog is not just any dog but one that was purchased
during the Seattle Seahawks NFC Championship game against the Carolina
Panthers towards the end of the 3rd quarter at QWEST Field during the
NFC CHAMPIONSHIP game. It quickly became THE hottest hot dog on eBay
with over 350,000 views.

Controversy swirled around the auction as the price for the dog grew
continually until it was discovered that there were many false bids. The
auction was then reset to include only bidders that could cut the
mustard.

GoldenPalace.com won with a bid of $1800 US and will soon be in
possession of the Super Dog which is now vacuum sealed and frozen for
freshness.

As it is the case with many of the purchases GoldenPalace.com has made
in the past, a portion of the proceeds from the sale will go to charity.
In this instance, the Grant Wistrom Foundation which works to positively
affect the lives of children, especially those afflicted with cancer.
The Foundation is recognized as a non-profit organization and funding
comes solely from annual fund raising events and corporate and public
contributions.

"We are happy to have the opportunity to contribute to this worthy
cause," said GoldenPalace.com CEO Richard Rowe. "The eBay webpage
received over 350,000 visitors so it's obvious that people are
interested in the Super Dog. This will be a welcome addition to our
collection of odd items."

GoldenPalace.com has made headlines worldwide by winning a variety of
unusual eBay auctions, several of which were for charity. Some of their
most notable eBay purchases have been the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese
Sandwich, Britney Spears Pregnancy Test, and William Shatner's Kidney
Stone. The casino has used these and other items to raise over
$1,000,000 for charities worldwide so far.
