Just PM'ed ya!

PM'd you my stuff!

thanks all!

Things are shaping up quite nicely - I am pretty sure that we have now passed last year's # of items - and I expect more before the day is over!

Some people still owe promised pictures, too...

Ok, I think I am caught up so far. Here's a mid-day update for what we have so far - it may help you think about what you still want to donate:

~10 working or broken systems or system/game bundles

GAMES:
Intellivision/Colecovision/2600/5200 - 2 games
Odyssey2 - 4 games
NES - 2 games
SMS/7800 - 0 games
TG16/PCE/PCE-CD - 0 games
Genesis - 12 games
32X/Sega CD - 0 games
SNES - 4 games
N64 - 15 games
Saturn - 22 games
PS1 - 26 games
DC - 23 games
PS2 - 9 games
GCN - 4 games
XBX - 2 games
360- 1 game
PS3 - 3 games
Wii - 5 games
GB/GBC - 8 games + one big bundle
NGPC - 3 games
PSP/DS/other handhelds - 5 games
PC/MAC - ~20 games
"Other" Games - 4 games

ACCESSORIES:
~20 things

OTHER MEDIA:
DVDs - 45+ titles, including some cool season box sets
CDs - 1 CD
Print - at least 25 individual auction items, some of which are lots of 20-30+ comic books, magazines, etc.)

I must say, there's a very healthy representation of anime/manga and anime/manga-inspired stuff across the "other media" section!

OTHER STUFF:
-Several signed items
-About 20 other mostly-game related items including action figures, clothing, art, electronics, posters, etc.
-A few "intangible" items
-We have also had a few prizes donated, which will go out randomly to bidders at auction end - need to figure out how, still...
-Some software/hardware items that don't fit neatly into the categories above...


So we have a good set of things - more than last year at this point but I'd really like to see even more come in today - I am expecting it from several of you!

It's the Final Countdown.

I almost died when he first comes in with the kazoo!

[aaron]

just sent a list of 12 items/lots. pretty excited about this year's auction.

[Ziggy]

I missed out on last year's, almost did this year too. I just talked to my friend today (that I don't see too often) and he thinks he has a lot of stuff in his basement he could donate. It'll miss the deadline this year, but I told him to hold onto it for next year.

Last year we added lots of items after the auction start, but I'd rather not do that this year. That said, exceptions might be made for anything uber-rare, coveted, or unique that would fetch a substantial amount of money.

[Ziggy]

I doubt he has anything that's not super common. I just wish I could have asked him about it sooner to get the items in this year's auction. There's always next year!

I'll throw in that Atari 2600 game lot you and I talked about a while back. I'll pm you the exact list of games.
