I apologize if this sounds to promotional, but right now my company is running a charity auction for a trip for 2 to Necker Island - Virgin founder Richard Branson's private Caribbean Island. The twist? It's a "reverse" auction so the winner will likely win the trip for less than $50. The LOWEST, unmatched bid wins, not the highest.

It’s quite simple to enter and play. Just send a text message to 41414 with the word ISLAND. You’ll get a return message which asks you to place a bid. You get two bids free and thereafter bids cost 99 cents. All proceeds support Virgin Unite’s grassroots charity partners.

So, if you play 12 times, you spend $9.90 plus the cost for text messages, which is charged by your provider. I think $9.90 is a good investment if your return is a week for two on a private Caribbean Island – especially one that retails for more than $5,000 per night! Plus, you’re giving to a great cause.
