Welcome to the 2022 RacketBoy charity auction! This year our donation recipient is The Video Game History Foundation. They archive and restore video game material in all of its forms, as well as educate people.
Every cent of the money bid on the items here will be transferred as a lump-sum once the funds have been collected. Bidding will start at the price listed; Either a donor-agreed reserve price or the estimated shipping, rounded up to the nearest dollar. Each bid must be at least $1 more. Bids are made by posting in this thread. Please state the number of the item you wish to place a bid on, as well as the dollar amount you are bidding. For example, "#10 - $7" or "I bid $7 on item 10.". Funds are all US dollars. Please consider donating some unused game, media, electronic device or art; I will be accepting items here up until Sunday November 13th. The auction will run up until noon (11:59:59 AM Central Time) on Tuesday, November 15 2022. As in previous years, donors will be responsible for shipping costs, unless arrangements are made ahead of time. I've found that small items are easier to manage with shipping costs; Keep that in mind when donating. It would be appreciated if winners could transfer funds before December. Payment must be received before I will instruct donors to ship their items. Payments are accepted via PayPal @ rbcharity2022@gmail.com, although I can accept other payment methods if necessary. For PayPal payment, please make payment as "gift" to eliminate fees. As we have done in previous years, this auction will feature a rolling end for items actively being bid on. That is, if up to 10 minutes before the auction cut-off time someone up-bids an item, that item will remain active and available for bidding for 10 minutes after the bid was posted. This can be repeated so long as that item is up-bid again within 10 minutes of the last bid. -insert picture of rolling end explanation here-
Thanks again this year to Ziggy587 for the logo art!

Please note that the label is a little rough around the edges, but is overall in good shape (the camera always makes things looks much worse than it really is).
