Rainn Wilson’s auction for Haiti

On January 12, Haiti was devastated by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake. The Office’s Rainn Wilson is auctioning off some cool Office stuff to raise money for Haiti relief:

“Dear Tallyheads,  
I wanted to do some Haiti fundraising with tanster and so I’ve hauled out some invaluably precious Office items to auction. This will benefit the amazing charity I work with called Planting Peace. They will be working hard on providing aid after the earthquake. Thanks for your support of ‘The Office’ and for your generosity to the suffering people of Haiti.”

Open auctions

6. THE OFFICE Rainn Wilson Basketball Anime shirt

This “World Anime Expo Philadelphia 2002″ t-shirt was created for the classic and much loved Season 1 episode of THE OFFICE, Basketball. It is a size XL. Be the envy of your beet-eating anime-loving friends. The shirt will be autographed by Rainn!

Rainn says: “This shirt should be going into the Smithsonian, instead it can be worn on your torso. Priceless and one-of-a-kind for any real Office fan.”

   Oooh! I really wish I could afford it…I would pull a Dwight and say, “Six thousand…and one penny!” But, I’ll just have to dream…that’s a little out of a college student’s price range!

   Wow I wish I could afford this! $6000 is just way too much :(
   Too bad, I would absolutely LOVE to visit the set!

   Rainn – awesome that you’re doing this! Thank you!

    Awesome..but I kinda need 6-grand right now.

    How about you film an exclusive Office Episode and charge fans $15 to view it.

    I’d pay $15 to support Haiti and get an insider pass to my pals Michael & Dwight!

    Great idea….for those who HAVE money! You should do a raffle type idea. You’d raise just as much cause many people would do it for a buck or two and it would give the common man a chance.

    [from tanster: actually, we did look into doing this as a raffle first, but in the state of california, there were legal and logistical complications. good idea, though!]

    Wow! What a great auction item! Someone is going to be very lucky- and happy. This was a great idea Rainn. I hope you raise millions with your auctions!

    It says “Ni Hao” which means Hello in Chinese.

    Obviously the mittens and the mufflers go in the Dunder Muffin bag.

    muffins do sound better than mifflins! Obviously the people who made this had watched the pilot ;)

    I want a Dunder Muffin. Sounds yummy. Or perverse.

    i’m out of the loop… can someone explain the “dunder muffin” thing to me?

    [from tanster: i believe it was a typo in manufacturing. makes it more valuable. ;) ]

    Is this US only, or can I bid if I live in Sweden?

    [from tanster: i just checked with rainn, and free international shipping is included!]
