    I had it posted in the Free NBA 2013 thread but Haymitch suggested I make a new thread. If you're not interested that's cool, thanks for checking this out.

    I've had a really bad year. Divorce, lost my job, you name it. Through it all this site has been a place where I could come and smile. Even though I moved from Houston in '97 (to freaking SLC of all places) I've kept up with my Houston teams. The Rockets are my biggest love besides my daughter.

    I have a copy of Modern Warfare 3 and a copy of Battlefield 3 for PS3. They are both brand new in shrink wrap. I got them for gifts and will not be using them.

    Here's the deal, I was going to put them on eBay but was reminded of the sense of community we have here on Clutchfans. I will be willing to donate them, as it were, to the site. PM me this week until after the Rockets next game on Wednesday with bids. Each game is a separate auction. I will pay for shipping to the highest bidder and they, upon receipt of the game will donate the winning bid to the tip jar. Honor system applies. As a small safeguard, I will not consider November 2012 accounts for bids.

    This is the best site on the net. Thanks to Clutch and the the other mods for all the work you do to keep it going. Thanks for all the kind words to each other (and during an election year:eek:). This place really kept me going through a hard time.

    You should check in with Clutch so that he can verify things.

    How would you do this? I'm essentially giving the games away. I don't ask that tip jar money be put in until the person receives the game.

    Anyway, I've had bad luck emailing him in the past any ideas? Feedback forum?

    I included the second picture of Battlefield because it was hard to see the shrink wrap in the full size version. Thanks for looking. I already have one bid for Battlefield. Remember I'm going to end this after the game tonight. Long live Clutchfans!

    Bumping this one last time. Battlefield is sold. Come on, MW3 for a bargain! Don't make me let on ebay and make $50. Help the site.

    How do we know what the highest bid is?

    If you don't want to disclose it here, don't... :cool: this is a nice thing, man.

    I don't know about these First-person-shooter games, so I am not sure how good is the game or where in the line of the Call of Duty or Modern Warfare it was released. Nonetheless, I'll bid.

    Can someone tell me about this ^^ ?

    Ok, swoly, I have a bid of $10 for this game. Personally I think that's crap as the point of the auction is to earn money for the site. Happy bidding and best of health to your family.

    This is a great cause, I will like to match the winning bid for one of the games and donate it to the tip jar.

    Props to Swoly. Sent the money to me(which wasn't part of the deal). I just donated it to the Tip Jar. Look me up on the game. I don't play as much any more but my screen name is Roxnostalgia.
