Shmokin a pancake

So, I know selling things here is not ok, and I totally get that. Otherwise you'd have spambots and ebay jerks all over trying to sell you used copies of a game that you should buy new (support devs!) and all that.
However, I have a signed Legendary Helmet that I am looking to part with, although not quite willingly. I need money to help with school and some other stuff, and despite hunting for a job for about 5 months, I've not had much luck. I am looking to get my HS Diploma asap because I am trying to enlist in the Marine Corps. Between being a total Blam-up for my first couple of years and dealing with a lot of hardship that led to things like missing out on an entire semester of school and a quarter of running start, a forced move that screwed with me being able to trasnfer, etc, my graduation is significantly behind schedule. I need just over six credits, which means that without paying a lot of money, it'll be at least another year and a half before I can join the Corps. And by then it's likely the Corps will be very small and difficult to get into, as well as meaning I will have spent a year and a half not really learning anything when I could be training and serving my country as I've always wanted to.
I don't tell you this because I want you to feel sorry for me. A lot of this is my fault. I messed up and if it weren't for that I'd probably be able to overcome the stuff that wasn't my fault a lot easier. However, I do want you to understand this isn't for a quick buck. I am not looking to buy shiny chrome for my car (not that I have one) or a new PC or anything. I want to be a Marine, and because of a numebr of factors, that didn't happen like it was supposed to last september. I don't want yet another wasted year, and I want to serve my country, and the last thing I want is to sell this thing to some random individual who'll just sell it again for aquick buck. I love Bungie, I love this helmet, but it's the only thing I have of any real value, and even this thing isn't probably worth anything. So, is there a good way for me to let the community know about this? Perhaps another site that has a big Bungie Community preference? I'm not going to say where I'm putting this thing up for offers or anything like that, and will ignore any offers from the site, I'm just looking for advice on where would be a good place to put this up, because this thing deserves to stay with the community. In fact, I originally had plans to pass it on to a random community member or something to that effect when I enlisted as I didn't really want to leave things behind in storage or as a burden on any of my family or friends.
I apologize if this is even against the rules or spirit of the forum, and I'll accept it graciously if the topic is locked.

Ah, someone leaked. Now to find the leak and.... plug it.
With justice.

I use coup 5
Never Played halo 1 = Invalid opinion
Bloom isn't whats broken, its your idea of what good is and your opinion
Thats like saying uber nerf armor lock because like 20 percent of the community hates it. Oh wait..................

This is interesting...
Its a halo related item,
but i think for the sake of fair treatment no selling still stands....
... however there are no such forum rules over in the waypoint forums to my knowledge.

The reason I didn't go there is because I am thinking that the folks here are the best and most enthusiastic bungie fans around, but I'll look into at least seeing if that's something that would be more acceptable by their rules.

Xbox LIVE gamertag: Dat3lessNutella
Steam username: TopWargamer
To look up my Halo stats...search for the gamertag TopWargamer.
SAVED THREAD PAGES: 283
One does not simply get rid of TopWargamer so easily.
You know this to be true.
ALL HAIL GABEN

I'm not sure what their rules are for advertising, but you could always try Bungie.org, or Halo.xbox.com.

Also, i'm sure that spartain ken 15 will buy it from you. He loves collecting Bungie stuff.

Other than that, just message users. Keep the offer up on Ebay and whenever you message somebody about it, link them to the signed flaming helmet.

Also, even though you are not in the service yet, I applaud that you are taking up such a great task. Stay safe whenever you get deployed.

I feel that selling the helmet is not the only problem you are having.

Sorry, but this is not the site to sell stuff .

Really, you don't say? Notice how I was asking for advice on where a good place to sell, rather than trying to sell it here :)
I'll definitely look into bungie.org, I had forgotten about them.
