Auction: Halo: Reach Hair Clippers

No, you read that listing correctly. PFJ co-committee member Sterling McGarvey has auctioned a set of Halo: Reach-branded hair clippers.

You are bidding on a set of Halo: Reach-branded hair clippers. These were sent to me as a promotional tool in spring 2010 to promote the Halo: Reach beta. While I kept the copy of Halo: ODST that accompanied the promotional set, I have no need for the clippers and thought they’d make a cool keepsake, especially since the case was labeled with my name. But now, I feel that they’re better suited in the home of a bigger Halo fan, and I’m happy to sell these to one of them for this urgent cause.

This auction ends on April 6 at 22:25:56 PDT, with all proceeds benefitting Global Giving.
