WIGI Celebrity Ebay Auction

The WIGI Celebrity Ebay Auction is a collection of over a hundred video games and items of game-related merchandise -- much of it signed by industry leaders -- being auctioned off to raise funds for Women in Games International.

Is there a video gamer on your holiday shopping list? Of course there is! And if there's one thing gamers love more than games themselves, it's awesome game-related merchandise. That's why Women in Games International is happy to announce our 2008 celebrity auction, a collection of over 100 items generously donated by leaders in the video game industry -- including Bungie, Microsoft Game Studios, Electronic Arts, and many more.

Items up for auction include everything from signed blockbuster games to game design books to hard-to-find vintage paraphernalia. You can check out our website for a full list of items. Here are a few we think will really pique your interest:

- Halo 3 high-quality black messenger bag with Halo figurine, books, and posters
- Signed special edition Xbox 360 copy of Frontlines with signed Kaos shirt
- Signed Gears of War messenger bag, Gears of War bottle opener, and An Inside Look at Gears of War 2 book

To find WIGI items, just go to eBay.com and search for "2008 WIGI Auction." Bidding for the auction begins Saturday, 11/22, in conjunction with the Philadelphia event VGXPO. All proceeds go to support Women in Games International, a non-profit organization that has been working over the last four years to further the inclusion and advancement of women in the game industry. We appreciate your support and hope you can find something in our auction for the gamer on your list!
