We will be raffling off a some huge bonus credit promo codes (I encourage you guys to work together in teams to bank the most from this huge promo code).

The highest bid will get a 60% promo code.
The 2nd highest bid will get a 55% promo code.
The 3rd highest bid will get a 50% promo code.

100% of what is raised from the promo code will go towards Kiva.org and stay in kiva.org

To bid, simply post in this thread (Reachable by Comm Menu, News & Info).  We will start the bidding in minimum 1 dollar increments with bidding ending Saturday 23:59:59(ish).

(If you are not familiar with kiva, imagine a charity where you loan small amounts of money to upstart small business owners in third world countries who don't have access to proper banking.  They get the money, invest it in their business, then pay you back, you then take the same money you got paid back and reloan it to someone else.  Rinse, repeat.  Its a  really cool program many of us at MR have been involved with since day one. Feel free to check it out at http://www.kiva.org/invitedby/MafiaReturns )

If you are not familiar with the promo codes, they work like this:

Lets say you get a 50% promo code and apply it to a $100 dollar purchase. If you purchase 100 credits, you will receive a bonus of 25 free credits (25%). Giving you a total of 125 credits. Plus another 50% of the 100 from the promo, for a grand total of 175

Example bid:

I bid $1

You are essentially buying the code.  If the winning bid is 50, that person pays 50 dollars and gets the 60% promo code to use on a credit purchase they can later (no expiration date).  The guy who bids 49, gets the 55% promo code, guy who bid 48 gets the 50% code.

The money used to purchase the codes does not go towards your credit purchase.

I take the money they used to buy the codes, and I keep recycling that into kiva over and over and over.

So far:

1st:  60% $200 Tony_Accardo (Wow!)

2nd: 55% $70 Perrin

3rd: 50% $50 Prozac
