[REMOVED!] You wanted to buy Beta keys - here's an official charity auction!

I'm not going to lie, I'd pay $100 for a single beta key, and the fact that it's going to charity really says a lot about you developers. Kudos.

I would really pay a decent amount to for a key just show me where to sign!

where do I bid?

The more I think about this, the more I think of how great an idea this is.

Gaming has a really negative rep in the press as of late with the shootings and whatnot. If you were to auction of beta keys and donate it to a charity it would generate a lot of great press not only for the gaming industry but for GGG, it would also serve as a great free advertisement and help get the name out there amongst the masses.

Chris, I have faith you will find a way to make this happen! I think you guys could just post it as a say office memorabilia but also post that the winning bidder gets the beta key(s) as well.

My suggestion is a kind of "blind" auction.

Create an auction E-Mail account. Now every one interested in bidding sends his bid to this mail account.

Set a deadline for biddings.

After the deadline give the keys to the highest bidder.

Spend the $$$.

Profit!

where can we bid?

Man, how long did THAT last? 20 seconds? eBay were pretty quick to jump on that auction.

Whats currently the highest bid, I have some spending cash and credit cards. I would like to know where I would stand in all of this.

If you're going to hold a charity auction, please donate to a charity that does 3rd world work.

www.charitywater.org is a good example of a charity we should be donating to.

Donating to solve first world problems is nowhere near as important as these third world problems.

$32 (USD) although that was merely in the first few minutes of a 3-day auction.
