guess segway max price
 

i was just looking at the prices of the segway and as of right now the highest is 85,000 holy crap that is insane at this rate i think it could hit 100,000 what do you think

Sounds kinda high
 

My best guess is that since it is now showing up on TV (saw it on MSNBC) people who want to donate money to a great cause and be in the spot light are funding it at this point. What a perfect way to get attention and also essentially donate money to a great cause.

With 36 days remaining, I'll say a million dollars. It's already to 85k after a little over a day. Very cool.

Titanium segway goodness... I'll guess $200k

Guess........
 

I'll say 45 0,000 .....:D

(i wish i had a million dollars right now ;) )

but are they real bids
 

I have to wonder if those bids are real. Anyone can create an account and bid and no one checks until the bidding is over.

Who cares? It's a segway. So it has leather. How will that help you control it? You can sit on the leather and move at the same time now can you? But about the price, it'll reach 650K. See ya.

Really. Doesen't a golf cart do the same thing for one heck of a lot cheaper? You get to sit down too :D

But...
 

But Segways are sooooooo much fun to drive around ;)

You don't appriciate the segway until u ride it...plus driving a golf cart would make me feel like an old man...

Aren't all the parts on those titanium as well?

:goes back to reread the auction page:

That and you'll get your segway a year and a half before everyone else (at least).

Segways are completely useless. They aren't that fast and they require you to move your body. THey would be better if you could sit, but you have to stand. Anyways, Dean Kaman has lost all movement of his legs and I'm sure that you don't want that to happen to you? See Ya.

-Teedoff101:D

Actually.......
 

Actually u don't have to move your body much to drive it....like DJ said u have to drive one before you can really appreciate it....its so easier.....alot easier than sitting down....Also they are pretty fast...(again...u cant appreciate it until u ride it):D

Re: but are they real bids
 

Sign up for Amazon yourself and check up on the bidders email addresses. Though at this point theyre all yahoo/hotmail-ish email addresses, for a while the high bidder was from KPCB, and others were from high-tech companies.

Oh, and it just hit 100,000. ;)

Dude, it's not about buying a Segway, it's about donating money to the FIRST project.

my guess is $800,000.

it could reach that but only if someone was truly insane. Most likely the bid will reach some high price and then the person won't pay. See ya.

Dude, like it's been said before, I can see someone with a lot of money, or a company buying one. It's a great way to advertise or just donate to a good cause.

I understand, but it is still likely that a single person will make a high bid and will not pay. I wish that someone would pay the bid so F.I.R.S.T. could gain a lot of money and make the teams and competetions better than before. It is however most unlikely unless a mea coroporation pays for the segway and anyways it is not worth 800k for a segway. See Ya.

There are people out there, such as Ted Turner, who make more than they can easily spend. Why not spend it on osmething that looks somewhat cool and noone else can have?
I don't think I could spend $2 million a day easily.
$500K will be reached

I just looked at amazon.com and one of the Segways are up to $ 100,100 so I think that it will exceed $ 500,000 easily...later :)

my best guess is that it will be over $1,000,000.00

750,000

Not only do you get a Segway but you also get to go to Disney World during the Nationals and meet Dean Kamen.(Like that would cost much compared to up it is up to now.) I guess that it will reach about $600,000.

I wondered why the second one was so much higher than the #1 Segway, but its gone back and #1 is over $115,000 now...

I'm a pestimist, so I think 150k

Looks like your right Joe...
$117,000 for the first one. The price has quit with the jumping.
