There are only a few hours left to bid on this rare, autographed collectible! And it's all for charity.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=14912

Wouldn't you love to own this piece of gaming memorabilia?

Well, here's your chance: Bid on it now!

This awesome swag has sat on my bookshelf for three years, and I'll hate to see it go, but it's the best idea I could come up with to raise some money for Penny Arcade's fantastic charity, Child's Play. The item is registered through eBay's Giving Works service so that all proceeds will benefit Child's Play. That is to say, 100% of the final selling price will be donated directly to the charity. Please see the auction page for details on shipping costs and condition of the item. I would love for an NWR reader to win this amazing collectible, but it is bound to be a hotly contested item, so bid now and keep bidding!

Update: Here are other eBay auctions supporting Child's Play that you might be interested in:

Viewtiful Joe Skateboard

Ultima Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts

Two Tickets to Child's Play Dinner/Auction w/ Wil Wheaton

I'd bid on this myself, but I never was a big Pikmin fan for some reason. Everyone who is should bid, though!

Well Pikmin 2 is one of my all time favorite games, it's signed by Miyamoto, a man I've contemplated creating a religion around, and it's to benefit a charity I've always meant to donate to but never actually gotten around to. I don't know how I'd be able to come up with the money for this but I'm going to have to try.

Now THAT's how charity should be. I've seen other auctions that donate 10-20 percent to Child's Play. I'm a believer that if you're doing something for charity, you might as well give either a healthy chunk (35 percent minimum IMHO) or all of it. Don't make charity a profitable scheme.

Happy Bidding!

I am going to try my hardest to bid on this and make the price go up, just so Penny Arcade gets more money. Awesome Charity.

Jonnyboy117 · « **Reply #5 on:** November 30, 2007, 02:15:25 PM »

Well, I got the thing for free from Nintendo, so it makes no sense for me to profit from the auction by only donating part of the sale.

Caliban · « **Reply #6 on:** November 30, 2007, 03:12:25 PM »

That is quite a sacrifice you made.
If I was living in the USA I would certainly bid at least $100 for it.

IceCold · « **Reply #7 on:** November 30, 2007, 03:41:07 PM »

That's... so awesome.

Crimm · « **Reply #8 on:** November 30, 2007, 04:02:15 PM »

I'm so bidding on this...at the end
I'm a eBay sniper.

UncleBob · « **Reply #9 on:** November 30, 2007, 04:07:37 PM »

It's gonna go $150+.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #10 on:** November 30, 2007, 08:10:46 PM »

Pale is auto-out-bidding me

NWR staff are inflating the price with artificial bids, sho nuff.

Pale · « **Reply #12 on:** December 01, 2007, 01:21:00 AM »

Totally isn't artificial. Jonny didn't say he was doing this and I totally want it.

Jonnyboy117 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 01, 2007, 04:32:45 AM »

Protip: Pale is broke, so you will outbid him soon enough.

You know, I really like Child's Play and want to support it and all that but should we really be auctioning off our own Reviews Editor?

I bit twenty cents.

Wait, what's the shipping? I bid twenty cents minus whatever the shipping is.

Uh oh, looks like GoldenPhoenix is moving in on it at around the $90 level...

Almost there....

Jonnyboy117 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 02, 2007, 03:10:56 AM »

It has broken the $200 mark now. :-) And still five days to go!

UncleBob · « **Reply #19 on:** December 02, 2007, 03:25:07 AM »

Dang. Good donation!

I wonder...

TrueNerd · « **Reply #20 on:** December 03, 2007, 02:32:04 PM »

It warms my heart that you'd be willing to give up something like that for charity.

18 Days · « **Reply #21 on:** December 04, 2007, 07:54:13 PM »

So is anyone else going to bid on the Viewtiful Joe skateboard?
Because I'm winnign and I jsut realised I didn't have that much money in my PayPal

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 06, 2007, 08:26:48 AM »

Alright I am rather confused. I am trying to figure out PayPal. I have never used it before. If I somehow won the auction. How can I pay? Can I pay via a credit card form on PayPal? Or do I literally have to transfer funds from my bank account to PayPal? Cause that would be totally lame.

Hopefully I can get a quick answer, thank you!

Pale · « **Reply #23 on:** December 06, 2007, 11:51:27 AM »

You can use your credit card, assuming there are no weird security issues...

And by that i mean with PayPal, and not with you, because it can be somewhat finicky.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #24 on:** December 06, 2007, 11:58:04 AM »

Thanks Pale. I'll see if I am interested in doing this...
