bhutsell Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Okay folks, I'm putting up my spare MVP 2005 and my lone MVP 2004 on eBay. Here's the catch...60% of the purchase price of '05 and 100% of the purchase price of '04 will be coming right back to this site via a Paypal donation. SO CRANK UP THE BIDS! EDIT - Okay, don't ignore the $100 buy it now on the '05 game (if it is still there). Live.com IS doing their 25% cashback still on eBay BIN's. Here are the links, don't think they'll be up on eBay for a bit: MVP 2005 MVP 2004 If the bids on '05 start getting ridiculously high, I'll probably start ratcheting up the donation percentage. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 bhutsell, thank you very much for doing this, it's a great idea. I'm surprised no-one has done it before. Thanks again. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhutsell Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yeah, I had originally bought the second copy of '05 with the intent on selling here to someone at a decent price, but I just had a bad feeling that it would've ended up flipped on eBay for profit. Then I started using it at home so I wouldn't have to be pulling my main disc from work and taking it home every night. Had less time at home than I'd hoped, so it really wasn't getting used. Then the website issues arose, and it seemed like a no brainer. I found the copy of '04 the other day in a box of crap. I'm pretty sure I sold the first copy at a garage sale for a few bucks. Didn't realize there was such demand on eBay for that year, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Had an idea while browsing the auction - I wonder what's to stop a member of MVPMods buying it, 60% of purchase price goes to the site, then that person sells it and does the same thing, selling ti another member via eBay, 60% of purchase price goes to MVPMods. etc. Permanent donations! Maybe that just my criminal minded brain always trying to figure out how to make money from anything possible. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhutsell Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yeah, I wish it worked like that. But the dontations are coming out of my paypal, not from eBay, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhutsell Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 I apologize for the bump, but just wanted this to cycle on the front page once more before the auctions ended. About 3 hours left on each as of 8AM Central. '05 is going well, '04 has some watchers but is still at $9.99, if anyone is interested on getting it cheap.

Trues Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 No prob man, in fact, it's also listed on the front page of this site along with all of the other live auctions for MVP 03-05 for PC. Thanks again for doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhutsell Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 So, '05 went for ($66 - $2.21 fee)*60% = $38.27 '04 went for ($20.50 - $0.89 fee - $5.45 ship) = $14.16 Total of $52.43 to go to MVPMods. Well, $52.50. Thanks for the interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
