Note there are rarely any bachelor''ette'' auctions. However, there are occasional "basket auctions." In these, a woman will bring a basket to auction, and men will bid on the basket so they may have lunch with the ladies. An example of this is in a ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'' episode where Rory is "purchased" by her boyfriend's rival, and Lorelai forces Luke to buy her so she won't be bought by bachelors Miss Patty has found.

== Comic Books ==
* In [[Harley Quinn]]'s comic, Harley (who is, at the time, in an [[Anti-Hero]] mood) wins Bruce Wayne at a charity event, after getting into a fierce bidding war with another socialite. Naturally, this leads to bad guys crashing the event, Bruce ending up gassed and in a [[Bruce Wayne Held Hostage]] situation (where he has a bizarre dream with Harley as his lover ''and'' taking the role of Robin) and Harley pulling a [[Big Damn Heroes]] when he wakes up. (It's her book, after all.) At the end of the episode, Harley meets up with Batman (who wants to thank her for the help) and she kisses him, then claims Bruce is a better kisser!
 
== Fan FictionWorks ==
* A [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20080907074032/http://stargatefan.com/fictionabc/auction.htm FanFic] for ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' involved this trope, as a fundraiser for Pentagon 9/11 victims and their families. Someone who thinks they're hot stuff- check. Someone bid on by rich, horny old lady - check. Thought it's obvious the author is a big Daniel fan.
* ''My Night With You'', a ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' fanfic, did this. Here, the rich old lady was instead an hideously obese hippopotamus woman. Also uses the "purchased by love interest" point.
