Defender cab on eBay goes from $9.99 to $1,800!?!?
quarterback:
I was wathing this auction and thinking about picking this up (even though I don't need it). The opening bid was $9.99 I figured, if nobody wanted it, I might grab it. It looked pretty cool. The auction was to end today, so I went to see how it was doing and found out it had been pulled by the seller.

And now it's been relisted with a starting bid of $1,800!

Too bad I didn't make an offer for $20 or so when I had the chance :)

Somebody told the guy he had a proto and he got excited. Note that I have no idea if the claim about it being a proto is true or not.

According to this page here (complete with Williams' advertising pics) it looks like it is.

ah the good ol' "prototype" and "rare" craze... reminds of gamestop selling Contra III for 75$ because it was a "really good but very rare collectible" A game which I just picked up on ebay for 35$ for 3 of them ::)
The other thing thats funny is that its not going to sell. bids barely got to 150$ ont he closing day, I seriously doubt it would fetch all that much higher than that, even with sniping. Oh well, hope he has fun eating that relist cost :)
Crazy Cooter:
Even if it's a prototype (seems like it is) IMO, it's still not worth $1800. But people have spent more for less.
