$17,300! how much do you guys think it’ll go for?
April 19th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Im guessing it’ll reaching into 50000 or more you may say I’m crazy but I wouldnt be suprised if it hit 100000. It’s one of a kind for now it’s for charity, people have lots of money, and it’s went from 0.99$ to 17.300 in like half a day.

April 20th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
I just hope the top bidder ends up actually paying. Also, hopefully it doesn’t go too high, that’d be ridiculous.

Well, it’s at $24,000 right now. How high is too high, Ben?

Ben, I’ve got to say, you’re one clever person. I know I don’t have $24k (to give to charity, and I doubt you’ve got that kind of money laying around either. And yet, you’ve created something that will give a charity that much money (or more). Granted, it probably cost you $2k and countless hours. A labor of love, I’m sure.
April 21st, 2008 at 11:37 am
Hey, Ben. First off, I wish I had money like the current bidder has (which I hope he does since it’d be a shame to bid $23,600 and not have the cash to give it up), but, big credit to you for your originality and your heart to auction off one of your creations to a very worthy cause. Great gesture. God Bless.

A big thanks goes to Engadget for sponsoring this auction. Great job Engadget.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:31 am
What happened to all the $? It only went for 9K?
April 26th, 2008 at 10:35 am
What they should have done was have people donate money to the charity, and then after 10 days, the person who donated the most (individual person, not corporation) got the Laptop. That way no one would fail to pay.
April 28th, 2008 at 8:29 am
First, I’m glad that the laptop was able to fetch *some* money for a good cause. But, I’m still disappointed with humanity. Urgh! What is wrong with people?!?
April 28th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
How about next time doing a raffle system with somewhat pricey tickets? I’m sure you could raise a ton of money like that
April 29th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
OMG!!!!! IS THIS FOR REAL???!!!!!
THIS GUY IS A GOD!!!!
IS IT GOING TO COME OUT FOR RETAIL????!!!!
April 30th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
OK I cannot be silent, this project is absolutely f’in awesome. Kudos to you Ben, that shit is off the hook, beyond compare, and I really would nuke a country without a 2nd thought for such a device.
Keep it up man, it inspiring to us all :)

Ben, you need to get corporate backing on this one, this thing could be used in cars on those long trips and be plugged into the tv like a regular PS3. I think there are plenty of people who would pay $1500 for a production version.
May 13th, 2008 at 1:14 am
I would.
May 18th, 2008 at 12:06 am
IT’S OVER NINE THOUUSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 18th, 2008 at 5:39 am
I would pay much, much more than that. Seriously. I know you say you aren’t going to make any more of these, but you can name your price.
May 20th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
amazing piece of work would never be able to buy one of course but still amazing work!
your a legend for giving it to charity
amazing work!
May 28th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
