Video: Official Nintendo DS Auction Update
In case you missed it, the autographed Nintendo DS I listed on eBay sold for a massive $4,050. All of the proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross to aid efforts in Japan.
I wanted to take a second and thank everyone for helping promote the auction, and to share a bit of information about the buyer. Check out the video below for more details, or find a choice quote from the winner below!
"I am just so happy to have won this amazing auction to help with earthquake and tsunami relief in Japan and raise awareness in such a fun way," said auction winner Joe McHale. "I have a lot of friends in Japan who are like my family and I just wanted them to know that America cares about them and we hope things get better soon. Please donate what you can, the American Red Cross is a wonderful charitable organization and can really help around the world."
