Penny auction site, Beezid.com, announced today that the site's iTribute Apple Products Event launched last Friday, October 7th in memory of Steve Jobs, raised $5,000 for cancer research. The event ran for 6 hours and showcased Apple products only, where members enjoyed savings of 99% off their MSRPs, due to a 1% price freeze.

“I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” - Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs was co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. Jobs was co-founder and previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of the Walt Disney Company in 2006, following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney.
Apple products have been a BIG part of my life for decades. My family's very first computer was an Apple, and it was my Dad's pride-and-joy. I have several Apple products in my own home now, including numerous iPods and an iPhone 4.
For many, playing penny auctions has given them the opportunity to own Apple products they could not otherwise afford. Apple products -iPads, iPhones, iPod Touch/Nano/Shuffles, iMacs and Apple TV - are probably the most desired auction items across the industry.
Indeed, Steve Jobs has touched millions of lives, both personally and with the jobs, products, and inventions he produced. While the world has lost a visionary, his legacy lives on in our hearts and lives.
From the Press Release:
While Steve Jobs left his mark behind with iPhones, iPads and MacBooks, he also left a reminder that approximately 7.6 million people around the world die from cancer each year. Based on revenue generated from Bid Pack sales during this period, the company has raised $5,000 for the worthwhile cause.
"I am honored to be donating to cancer research after the iTribute event for Steve Jobs," said Beezid CEO, Max Bohbot. "What Mr. Jobs was able to accomplish in his life and his time at Apple is remarkable, he reshaped a culture and guided the world into a new generation of technology. He defined a visionary and his accomplishments will never be forgotten."
