A gang of likely lads are battling it out on Trade Me for the latest Sky City charity auction.
The entertainment company is auctioning off a Valentine’s Day treat for a romantic pair to bid their way to the top of the tower. All proceeds will go to one of their official charities – the Leukaemia and Blood Foundation.
Last year one couple got to spend the night at the top of the tower, this year the offer is for a dinner for two on Valentine’s Day in the recently opened private dining room at the top of the Sky Tower, The Glass Room.
