There's novelty in owning the first of *anything*. It's significant, particularly if the Segway manages to take off. It holds its place in history.
To bid $10,000+ for one random Segway is silly and unrealistic.
If you could bid to own the very first Ford Model-T to roll off the assembly line, I bet you would.
How would you feel about ponying up $100,000 for a 1987 Ford Tempo?
Point taken? The allure just isn't the same.
