It'd be great if we could update a little more frequently today and tomorrow - for those of you who have helped with some updates previously, can you do a few in the next couple of days? Just make a post when you start to do the tallying so that no one is repeating your work.

Let me make a little plug for these:
299. “Guest Director” position for upcoming Racketboy podcast – you pick the topic, the interviewees, the music, etc. Your wish is our command.

300. The right to submit "10 Questions the Mods must Answer" for an upcoming Retrogaming with Racketboy roundtable.


Last year #299 went for $21 to jfe2, who requested that I interview both Keith Apicary and Nathan Barnatt. jfe2 picked the music, some of the questions, etc. It was one of the best shows of the last year, in my opinion :) Since the show is now entering its second year, I'd really like to see it fetch more in the auction this time. I've been able to bring on some quality guests, and unless you want me to interview someone like Miyamoto or Kojima, chances are I will be able to twist their arm. I'd even try for those giants, if you were to request them (although the language barrier may be an issue). So who would you pay to have answer your questions?

As for #300, this will require a lot of coordination - so make it worth the effort! The questions don't have to be about the site, games, or anything in particular. You can ask us something like "Can you please harmonize the melody from Doom on the 32X?" and we'd do our absolute best to oblige you.

One other plug, and that is for the Family Guy box sets (#225), which my brother donated. You are getting Seasons 1-7. The best I can figure by looking around on Amazon that should be at least worth $50. Considering he isn't even a member of the site, I think it was pretty cool for him to donate that set and many of the other DVDs in that section. I'd like him to know that the donation was worth it.

I think it's awesome that #162 is up to $42, but surely it's worth... $43?

My pencil math has us at $4,961.50 or $38.50 from our goal.

Also need to promote a few of key items.
65. That $1, while nice, doesn't even cover shipping. It should be going for $2.50 at least. These games are all tested and play well. Other than Driver missing back art, hello cover project, they are all complete as well.

185. This is a factory sealed game for the awesome game.com system. Included is Joust, Defender, Defender II, Robotron, and Sinistar, 5 great retro games for $2?

205. This cable goes from your Playstation/PS1 to a video camera so you can record your game playing achievements to share with your friends, post to youtube or just record for posterity. Did I mention this is also factory sealed?

269.35 great reader issues. You get some nice Marvel/DC stuff including She-Hulk and the 6 issue Connor Hawke (green arrows kid) mini and about 6 Alan Moore penned issues of Promethea and an issue of Cerebus and some Anime and independent stuff as well. Hours of reading.
