I Want A Webvan Van
from the going-once...-going-twice... dept
Webvan is auctioning off lots of leftover equipment from their closed down Atlanta operations including over 200 Webvan delivery vans. How cool would it be to own one of those as a symbol of the dot com era? I wonder if they would let you keep the Webvan logo painted on it. Of course, at an expected sale price of $30,000 (which is still less than half of the price Webvan paid) it's still a bit out of my range. Anyway, it's unlikely the sale of such items will raise enough cash to keep Webvan alive much longer, so now is your chance to own a piece of dot com history. If you go to the auction, tell 'em Techdirt sent you.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
