DLC Kickstarter Pin available during Desert Bus for Hope

I donated my DLC Pin to Desert Bus for Hope this year. Here is a direct link to the prize page for it :
http://desertbus.org/giveaway/259
It's still in its original packaging, and in excellent condition. Hopefully it will go to a good home!
EDIT : Timeframe is now narrowed down to 10:00AM PST, Nov 19th - 10:00PM PST, Nov 19th.
EDIT2 : Pin is being given away via a donation drive between 5:00PM and 7:00PM PST Nov 19th. All donations of $10.10 during that time will count as one entry in the drawing at the end.
EDIT3 : Giveaway is over. Desert bus username Tahosa won. Donation drive raised $3545.10 for Child's Play!
I do not know exactly how they'll be determining the winner of the pin, as it's listed in the giveaways section of their prizes, so it probably won't be a direct auction. In past years I've seen giveaway items given out in raffle style donation drives where you donate a certain dollar amount per entry into a raffle at the end. They also sometimes instead set up contests or other ways to get an item. It's up to the drivers / prize people for the shift, I think.
All of that is up to the wonderful Desert Bus folks to figure out.
I just wanted to let you guys know that there will be one available. I'll try and update this post with more information if/when I find out more, but the link above will probably be updated before this post is.
Also, for folks who aren't sure what Desert Bus is, it's essentially a week-ish (depending upon the donations they get) marathon to benefit Child's Play. Here's a link to their about page where they do a better job than I ever could explaining it : http://desertbus.org/about/

Maybe, but at least it'll be for a good cause. Think of the children!
Yes yes, quite.

Feel free to send me a trade request!
From previous DB runs, the giveaways are done as a raffle where they pick an amount ( for example, $2.45, the number of backers who got a DLC) and for each multiple of that amount you get one entry. So $24.50 buys you 10 "raffle tickets" during that window (typically 30 minutes) and they use an RNG to pick the winner.

For example:
Some Thingy is up as a Giveaway. They announce it on the stream that Thingy is the Giveaway for the next xyz minutes. People who donate in increments of $5 (for example, it can be anything) will have chances to win the thing. Every $5 donation in that time period is like a raffle ticket for the giveaway for the Thingy. At the end, they randomly pick one of those "tickets" via a random digital method, and then that person gets Thingy.
You have to have a donor account set up on desertbus.org in order to do this, so get that set up now.
EDIT: I've tried signing up but I'm not getting the email. Maybe their servers are just getting slammed right now?

As far as I can tell, the pin in this lot is donated directly by penny arcade, so this isn't the pin I donated. Still absolutely of interest to folks in this thread, though, for sure.
Edited to add : Yeah, what Beker said above! (That'll teach me to triple check the time before hitting submit.)

I would imagine either there is a support email or if you jumped in the chat they could help you figure that out.

The one donated by our lovely jo-muhgargle I believe will be a raffle.
WHAT
Honestly, I suspected more than that.

Edit: It was for a great cause, otherwise I would not have gone nearly that high. I felt it should get above $5k
That was a great auction!! (:
That was amazing, friend. Thank you so much for your support.
I felt it was necessary
