Amazon Selling Segways

from the be-the-first-on-your-block dept

Amazon is taking bids for Segway HTs -- 3 on the block with (oddly enough) the first one currently going for $75K, and the third one (labelled as such) currently going for $100K. Proceeds will go to charity.

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.

–The Techdirt Team

    Seems a bit extreme

    What I don't understand is that this auction is going to go on for another month. The price is going to get higher and higher. It's amazing how quickly it's been bid up. At this rate it's going to hit millions of dollars easily... and who the hell would pay millions of dollars for something that will be available for $3,000 in less than a year?

    Given the 1st bid of $1.00 was:
    Starting Bid $1.00 02/19/2002 00:01:00 PST

    For that to be news last week, you must have the ability to travel in time. Please let us know stock prices and sports scores when you come back from your next trick, K?
