Want a rare piece of video gaming history? We hope you're a quick-draw bidder. Legendary game developer Sid Meier is holding a charity auction (http://www.ebay.com/itm/131501334746) for a Super NES developer kit (which is hard to find by itself) used during his MicroProse days (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/10/retroism-microprose/). Yes, there's a real chance that you could be using a system that helped build an early console version of Civilization (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/23/civilization-beyond-earth-review-buy-in-alpha-centauri/). Don't think that you can just take on some credit card debt to get that nostalgia kick, though. Meier is only selling the kit to trustworthy eBay users with verified PayPal accounts, and bidding starts at $5,999 -- it's worthwhile if you want to help St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (http://www.stjude.org/stjude/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=7b22b46b476a7410VgnVCM10000029 0115acRCRD), but you're paying for a lot more than someone's second-hand console.
