Looking for an OLPC?
This guys is selling two unopened OLPC's for $1200. Is it just me, or does that seem just a bit crazy?

colby: What is the retail on them $200?
Posted Mar 20, 2008

todd: colby: not really. it's $200 + a $200 donation (buy one give one). and even then, they're not really for sale right now. you can only buy one when they're available. hence the jacked up auction prices.

colby: That's right, thanks todd. It is like the PLaysttion 3 and Nintendo wii craze

mksmith: The beauty of bidding fever. It's no wonder "buyer's remorse" is in the common lexicon. Maybe "I just pulled an Ebay" to indicate I did/bought/said something in the heat of the moment.

todd: heh. i like it. i'm going to try to start using it and see how it feels and whether i can make it catch on. :-)

jessica: lol How disappointing! Bad dog!

Chuck: In other news, the original two XOs are still available :-)
