RetroforceGIVE! Mega Drive ends TONIGHT! photo

[Chad's far, far away in the land of dolphins at the moment so I thought I'd give it a bump! -Niero]

This Sunday evening (3/29) the RetroforceGIVE! Mega Drive charity auction is officially over. If you want a chance to win one of the five fabulous retro videogame packages, you better put in a bid before it’s too late!

Right now all five auctions are going pretty strong, so thank you very, very much for that. Seriously, you all have been amazing with this cause since the beginning and I can’t thank you enough. Less than 3s all around!

For more info on what the charity auction is all about you can click here. And here are the links to all five of the auctions, currently up for bidding:

All of the proceeds go to Child’s Play (a non-profit that provides children’s hospitals with videogames), so you get an automatic karma (and XP) bonus of +1000 for taking part.

Place a bid for the kids!

$1025 is not really as high as I thought it would be. That's less than $2.00 a game! Come on guys, get biddin'!

I'm sure there will be lots of bids right at the end though, people like to wait 'till the last minute when it comes to eBay auctions.

Everyone, sign into eBay and check for coupons! eBay gave me a one time use coupon code for 10% of video games!

I'm glad to see a fairly high price for the puppets so far. I also just noticed the NOT FOR RESALE on the Ghaleon puppet. Nice.

I'm kind of tempted to jump on the signed Alien Hominid and Symphony of the Night, but I think my parents would kill me if I spent over $100 on one eBay purchase.
Also, the 460+ game set should be going for much more. What gives internet? Also, why is Shining Force 3 going for so cheap?
