The pics of the board are in the auction. It's not my auction. I just found it, and thought it was great. I checked for the board before posting here. I didn't want to get eaten alive.
If you list something on eBay with the proceeds going to charity, you have to go through eBay's GivingWorks division.
The only way to get around that is to follow a very specific, exhaustive process by which you document that you are giving the money to a registered non-profit. It involves having a photo/scan of a signed letter on the letterhead of the non-profit in question, and other information.
Hmmm, I wondered about that...... guess I will deal with that when the time comes, never sold anything on there for charity. Be pretty lame, and IMO stupid of them to pull it.
It isn't just me, I am the seller a friend of mine Ryder donated this item and is spearheading the fundraiser. I am merely helping, I appreciate the kind words though.

It is a shame but it is for the protection of others, Too many charity cases turned out to be outright lies taking advantage of others generousity.
I cant believe how high the value of this game has gotten. man I remember selling my cart and manual for around $1500 a piece about 5 years ago, wish I had held onto them now..

Wish the seller luck and rooting for this to cover some of the bills.
Good luck with the sale playa

My guess is your patrician brain can't comprehend the acts of us lowly plebeians.
AND..You are the one with SE my friend (I don't have one)

Also we talked with them on the phone before we listed this and told them we were selling items for charity and not once did they mention that.
Oh, good. Well, in any case I certainly hope it doesn't get pulled.

This is so weird, no fishy story, fuzzy pictures, or immediate red flags!
I've laughed at this like three times now. Jocularity!
