Terminal Reality selling autographed monitor for charity photo

Right now, Terminal Reality, the group behind BloodRayne, is holding an eBay auction for one of its monitors, which is autographed by the staff. Now, what's so great about the monitor?

Terminal Reality Inc. is selling one CRT monitor autographed by every member of the development house.  The item pictured is an actual monitor our development team used in the creation of many of our games and characters - such as Vampire Vixen BloodRayne, the Demon from Demonik (as seen in the movie Grandma's Boy), The Rock as Alex Secks in Spyhunter, Charlize Theron as Aeon Flux from the game of the same name, Roadkill, 4x4 Evo, Fly, and many other titles.  Each person listed the titles they have worked on with their signature - including some projects we can't talk about yet (all listed as "Project X" of course).

If you read between the lines, you can clearly see that that they are selling magic. Well, by magic, I mean they'll donate the profits to whatever charity the winner wants. So, whether it be Child's Play or St. Jude, you'll be doing a good thing bidding on this. I realize that it's a CRT monitor that's seen heavy use, but as they defend in their description, it's a piece of gaming memorabilia.

Now, hopefully in the future, companies that do something like this will offer up something slightly more...desirable. Nonetheless, it's for a good cause, and so hopefully it'll make someone's life a little happier.

If I actually had money to bid on this, I'd rather just donate the money then have to take a useless, bulky monitor.

@dark_inchwork:
Obviously you're missing the point that ITS FOR CHARITY!!! the monitor is a symbol of their love for charity givings and such. So its not that the monitor is shitty or that nobody has ever heard of them before, or that the whole idea is fucking retarded. Its for CHARITY...

Like Necros said, if the fact it's for charity is the one driving factor in buying this, why not just donate the money yourself? Only a court jester could truly want this thing.

Terminal Reality: "We were recently informed that the year 2000 passed about 7 years ago, so we've decided to give our dev teams LCD monitors."

The gaming pedigree that signed that monitor is so lousy, I'm going to use my money to fund more causes of cancer.
