You are all generous, kind-hearted, amazing people. Oh, wait, did I mention handsome? You are all generous, kind-hearted, amazing, handsome people.
We started donations for the RetroforceGIVE! Mega Drive a few weeks ago (sponsored by RetroforceGO! Listen today!) and already you guys have donated some unbelievably incredible things. I hate to single anyone out (all your donations are equally noble), but one awesome community member actually sent in an original, sealed copy of Shining Force III for the Sega Saturn. For the retro knowledgeable, this is quite the rare find (and goes for upwards of $300 on eBay).
But the donation period is not over yet! The actual charity auction (of which all proceeds will go to Child’s Play) will start up soon and contributions are still being accepted to the below address until the end of this week (January 29th to be exact). If you still want to help sick children by giving away your retro videogame treasures you only have a few days left!
[Donations over -- address no longer valid]
If you missed the original post, you can click here for the details of what RetroforceGIVE! is all about (and to see the massive list of already donated items that will be up for bid). Thanks again to all the people that have already donated. You are so handsome you make my eyes hurt.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

You are amazing. Giving anything at all is great. :)
Chad: If you have any issues with JP games or questions email me at rabite890 at gmail.com
Totally fine. We won't be starting the auction proper until early February.
P.S. You rule. :)
We haven't decided yet. After everything comes in I am going to go through it all and make a decision if one mega auction or several smaller ones would be best.
I will keep you updated. :)
I fail at being retro, and you;re so sexy... ahmeh... good at retro game picks, you guys should be bale to help out?
Either way, consider my pants moistened for all this.
Keep up the good work. -Joel
