What's worse is that I'm one of those people who would probably buy such an expensive party trick.

I'd rather get this even though it'll be a bunch of crazy people dancing before the music starts

Not that i know of, i have "asked" the question on Ebay, are they going to donate some if not all to charity.. no response as yet, i would imagine it's not as easy as saying yeah sure lets just give it all away.. either way, it's just amazing.

Seems some bids have been removed.. stoopid Ebayers

[Thermosman]

I think that both of the top bidders are trolls

[WnDTech.Tips]

there are quite a few with very little feedback.. personally, i would disregard any that have less than a set number of feedbacks.. and certainly disregard any newly created ebay accounts.

exactly why i think they are trolls or shill bidders

[Sprayingmango]

So the auction ends in 50m and it's up to $25,100. I sincerely hope that Linus will be donating this money instead of using it to pay for $5k iMacs and RED cameras...  

 

Seriously....this is just absurd.

hes not gonna pay up... hes just a troll

[WnDTech.Tips]

Linus should do a live stream to say what he is gonna do with the money.. and to show how silly people are.. oh and to congratulate the winner

[Thermosman]

@LinusTech Did the bidder actually pay up, or was he just a troll?

[Sprayingmango]

So what ever happened with this??

I Noticed it in one of his latest videos.. i think the "5 Gadgets to help you Wake-Up" video, Jibo had a cameo role in it, i guess it could be b-roll footage from the Jibo review itself.

 

but yeah we are all interested for some reason

[Freeman]

Soo, any updates, did it acutally sell for 25k?

[WnDTech.Tips]

Na they still have it.. in one video while they were at CES, @LinusTech said the bids were trolls.. so there we go.

I boght one, I like it. If you dont like the way it acts you can edit the code easy. Just have to void warenties

[Dredgy]

I'll be honest, after the first video, I thought "that's a pretty cool party trick" and after seeing the commentary from CES, where it looks like they're actively fixing problems and at a speedy rate, I really want one. I will wait for a couple of years and see where it gets.

It's definitely not worth $900 though.

Subjective. I've bought stupider stuff for $900. I will want to see functionality improvements and hopefully a cost reduction over time though.
