Over the next 11 days, Nick Lachey will be blogging about his trip around the country on The Everybody Wins Tour, just for OK!. Stay tuned in to his blogs for all Nick’s news from the road as he surprises winners from his new site, Winnit.com.
Hey guys!
Welcome to my new blog! For the next 11 days I am going to be heading all over the country during The Everybody Wins Tour, surprising winners from my new website, Winnit.com, and also volunteering at local food banks to help raise awareness for a really great organization called Feeding America.
I’m traveling all over the U.S. in a big yellow tour bus, so I hope that if you see us on the road you’ll beep, wave and say hi!
Me and the Winnit.com bus hit the road!
We just kicked off the tour in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio with a trip to the Freestore Foodbank where I spent some time alongside volunteers and met some really incredible fans. We’re on the bus now heading to Pittsburgh, Penn. to surprise a Winnit winner with the iPod Shuffle that she won on the site.
Visiting the Freestore Foodbank in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Let me tell you a little bit about what Winnit.com is in case you don’t know: My partners and I came up with this incredible idea for a reverse auction website where instead of bidding the highest amount, the goal is to be the first (and only!) member to bid a price as close to zero as possible without choosing a price that someone else has already bid. The site hosts some really great auctions where we feature products like iPods, Louis Vuitton bags, Nintendo Wii and even a Porsche Cayman! Just last week users won an iPod Nano for $0.10, a Samsung 50” plasma TV for $1.61 and a Louis Vuitton Speedy for $2.07. It’s a really exciting new concept and I hope you’ll check it out here: http://www.winnit.com.
To celebrate the launch of Winnit we decided to hit the road and visit some of our fantastic members that have been winning all sorts of great products in our auctions. I was thrilled that Feeding America was able to join us in putting together this tour because I have been involved with the organization for three years now and I greatly respect the work that they do. Take a look at the Feeding America website at http://feedingamerica.org.
We’re about to stop for lunch, so I have to get going, but I hope you’ll check back here to read more about my cross-country adventure and see some of my own pictures and maybe even some video!

Catch Nick’s next blog for OK! on Wednesday, Oct. 7!
Just hanging out on The Everybody Wins bus!
My thing is that I just want to make sure everything is on the up and up. i am o.k. with losing but, this is a new site, and i get skeptical when the same people always win. wish their was some sort of audit or an auditing company involved…then i’d feel better. i really like the concept, but i am not sure the trust has been earned yet.
oh ,theyve never told that to me but ive never asked about it, i dont have a spouse, just a b/f and we never bid on the same items, i said im one of their best costumers, which am, because yes i win but i spend llots and keep loading more and more money, and because i bid so much other ppl have to bid more to win too, if i didn’t bid on an auctino it’d go for a lot less, like in the beginning of this site, i used to be able to win a ps3 for a lot less because there weren’t only like 2 big bidders, then there were more and more so we alll have to spend more to try to win. its because of theyre big players that so many ppl lose so much money to them, if we weren’t on the site the auctions would go for so much less, idk if they’d make enough to cover the cost of some of the items they put on there.
i understand your concern, i was a little concerned with the slow shipping, i thought it was some kind of scam in the beginning because it took forever to get stuff. but you dont need to be mean to other bidders, thats all i was saying. i was getting ganged up on by a few ppl and it was really unfair, thats all.
the whole in tandem thing doesn’t make sense to me to be honest, say the wife bids from 01-50 and then the hubby bids from 51-100 on an auction, why wouldn’t one of them just bid 100? what if one of the persons computer freezes, thats happened to me, or bid doesn’t go thru and someone wins what the other person didn’t bid,then they’re just out 50bux, whereas if theres an error and only one person was bidding and they’re bids didn’t go thru at least they didn’t lose anything…
idk, but yeah no my b/f doesn’t even go on there anymore, he just wanted to win stuff that he actually wanted — and xbox, a ps3, a camera and headphones for himself a louis vuitton bag for me for my bday and a mixer for his mama for xmas. and he got that stuff so he hasn’t been on in weeks. I go on there to make money because i have the time and its a lot of fun for me, its fun to stratigize– bidding, the suspense of waiting for that damn page to refresh and see if it says “Congrats to k8d7″ lol — and then who doesn’t love getting stuff in the mail right?
im a nice person, just a normal girl, and no one likes to be picked on and thats what it felt like on facebook for awhile, and it wasn’t just you it was 4 or 5 ppl getting mad and taking it out on me because i win a lot, but i dont make ppl bid, thats their choice and thats not a reason to be rude to someone, i wouldn’t be mean to someone because they beat me on winnit ya know? oh well it doesn’t matter anymore. i asked winnit to remove those things about me because i wanted it to stop, and it seems to have discouraged ppl from being so negative, which is good.
but yeah they didn’t earn my trust until
A. i won and
B. fedex delivered my item
k8…dragonjay here. when you get a sec, would you email me at dragon.jay@hotmail.com ?not too worried about being bothered w/ emails from here…not too many people posting, and I just created this one so it’s a throw away email.
fake ,trust me, i won a ps3 and they wont ship the item after 40-50days
Recomandation? ebay,amazon etc etc, at least you know what you pay…
I don’t understand why everyone is giving K8D7 a hard time, I just started on the site and she wins a lot, but good for her! She’s bids smart. Good for you!
I think this is a scam, how is it that in a couple seconds the bid jumped from $2 to K8D7 winning with over $4. K8D7 is so part of the Winnit site. Good if the money goes to the charity, but it’s crap that it gives us false hope. Waste of money!
The culmination of the perfect trip; enter Nick Lachey and Jacquelyn Dunphy. Jacquie was the recipient of MyWorkButterfly.com’s October auction to benefit Vh1 Save The Music Foundation. As such, we whisked Jacquie to LA, checked her into the W in Westwood, sent her to be outfitted by Club Monaco and off to Mastro’s restaurant for an evening like no other. Truth be told, this was an auction like no other. Our hearts became heavy when we heard that Jacquie’s sister, Jill, paid $10,600 so that she could meet this Hollywood heartthrob. This gift was purchased for Jacquie with the hopes that her spirits would be lifted after the sudden loss of her husband just a few years ago. Jill’s intention was to give Jacquie something to look forward to, a moment to get dressed up and to perhaps begin a new. This is a love story indeed. Not between Nick Lachey and Jacquie per se, but of the love between two sisters. The Nick Lachey auction far exceeded our expectations in raising money for a good cause. With Nick’s help, we were able to create a new, happy, life experience for Jacquie (Did we mention that Mario Lopez was dining next to Nick and Jacquie at Mastros? Only in LA).
Butterfly at its best.
Congratulations to Jacquie and a HUGE thanks to her angel of a sister Jill and to Nick Lachey, the man of the evening who was a perfect gentleman and an ideal first date.
I agree with jemm. This is definitely a waste of money, and there is something fishy going on. The same people win everything. I’m deleting my account.
hey k8d7 we should hook up some time. what do you think
