272. Lot of Various convention program guides and catalogs (comes with sampler comics and posters)
298. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope - Millennium Falcon gyroscope kids meal toy from 1996 theatrical rereleases

That's 19 items - all of these are EASILY worth AT LEAST $1-$2, if not $5-$10 or more.

Also, there are far too many items which are bid at less that it will cost to ship the item. Remember, for U.S. bidders - you don't pay shipping. The idea behind this is that you will kick in the extra shipping monies that you would normally have to pay on eBay or other places so that the $ will go to the charity instead. The reason that some donors and some of us mods are covering shipping is so that you'll chip in more for the items. If you don't do this, I doubt shipping will be free in future auctions.

When bidding, ask yourself how much you would pay to have the item shipped to you and bid accordingly. A box of magazines or comics or a lot of 3 or more games for $5 or less is ridiculous. This is about giving to charity, not bargain hunting. We are nearing the end of the auction, so please start getting these numbers up!

Well, money is tight for me right now and since I am covering shipping on the eight items I donated I have had to be more frugal with bids. So for those of you with deep pockets bid it up.

I would bid on more items, but money is scarce and christmas buying is my priority... If it comes down to the wire I might bid on a couple of the ones currently untouched....

I hate to ask because I know it is time consuming, but would it be possible to post which items remain unclaimed on Friday?

I actually think it is more important to bid on the underbid items than on the ones with no bids....

04. Sega 16-Bit Starter Kit - $25 jp1
Sega CD Model 2 system (boxed, no AC adapter ), Genesis Model 2 (loose, w/ RF adapter, AC adapter), 2 3-button controllers, Sonic the Hedgehog (boxed, no manual), Desert Strike (boxed, no manual), Sonic 2 cart (loose), Target Earth cart (loose), Road Rash CD (disc only) and bonus spindle of loose Sega CD backups

this right here is definitely worth more than $25. i really don't think i need to explain this any more than that. just look at this pile of stuff:



the backups included are going to be a surprise but rest assured they are all very important, very good sega cd titles. duh.

This has already been upped but yes it is certainly worth more than what it sits at currently.

Well I just got some money from the goverment so I can bump up some of my bids (though not by a terribly large ammount). I kinda hope someone outbids be on some of these as Im poor as hell and shouldnt be spending at all. But dammit, Id feel like a jerk if I didnt at least donate something.
