I thought about slugging it out but since I won it last year it seemed wrong to try and outbid you.

Next year, I'm going to play for keeps, though.

The Uncharted cover is a great collectors piece, I hope you'll enjoy it. (Especially since I waited 4 hours in line to get one). But it was also really nice to hear that the Nintendo Posters are going to be making a child smile.

    Warcraft 3 + Frozen Throne expansion pack PC
    Vanquish PS3
    Unreal Tournament 2004 PC
    Shiny Pokemon
    Rayman Raving Rabbids Wii/PAL
    PS2 - Xenosaga Episode 1: Der Wille zur Macht (Greatest hits edition, no instruction manual)
    PS1 Game - Granstream Saga (J)
    Playstation 1 lot - Siphon Filter 1-3 (discs only)
    Onimusha Warlords Platinum PS2/PAL

And stuff that I ended up paying to keep:

All said and done it costs me about 88 dollars give or take.

Thanks for telling everyone that I'm a horrible person for not sending you the physical copy from last year! :lol:

Again, my apologies times 100000X. I have no good excuse. I'd not be mad if you wanted to give me a scarlet -1 in the feedback thread. :oops:

Thank you to Dave, GameGavel, and everyone who made this possible. Thank you for your hard work and I thought the podcast was a great idea as well.

I won the following:
Nightmare Before Christmas Guide
Riven/Kong/Jade Empire/Star Ocean Guides - cheap to ship since it's mine
Comic Book Lot #2

Grand whopping total of $8.50!

Hey All,

I wanted to thank you all for utilizing GameGavel for the auction. I wanted to ask you all that bid in the final moments to confirm how the dynamic bidding worked. It was the first time we had used that feature and it was set to add 1 minute after a final bid. Some of you are saying it only added 15 seconds, is that true? If so I will try and get to the bottom of why it wasn't using our designated 1 minute.

Also, we had an issue in the bid tracking area. It was supposed to show you what you were bidding on and if you were watching, winning, bidding, out bid, etc. Not a major issue but I didn't notice this until the end of these auctions. I think this was a bug carried over from our server upgrade which took place right before the charity auctions began.

We are working on fixing that as I type. You should all be getting an invoice from Dave H or you can locate one of the items you won in your bid tracker and you should be able to check out. If you won multiple items it will show you a total list of the items you won and total due. Once Dave sends you an invoice, there should be a Paypal button imbedded within the invoice. If the button isn't shown, you can ask Dave the correct Paypal address and pay directly through Paypal.

Thanks for letting everyone jump on GameGavel Mike. Just wanted to also add that I still see that gletch certificate error pop up now and again.

You are a hardcore Saturn fan. I thought I won more, but it looks like all I managed to come away with was a "Tales of Legendia" book, the Mario Galaxy Commemorative Coin, and my own weaksauce Sagat. KHAAAAAAAAN!

Whee, sending the keyboard to Canada is going to be fun. I'm not even sure how I'm packing it yet.
