These are in fact serious bids....not shill. A friend of mine is the one who sold this item and for some of you to say he's ripping the buyer off is ridiculous. Unless I misunderstood of course.. :lol:

How was anyone supposed to know that the item would reach that high? Certainly not the seller if that seller is legit. The buyer chose to pay that and he's not the only one seeing as how the next highest bidder is the one who put it that amount. The auction was not canceled and it was in fact fully completed from what I understand.

Has anyone thought that maybe this guy is a developer and wanted the actual item to perhaps build his own design around it? Taking one look at his feedback would suggest so. Perhaps a musician who wanted to take advantage of the productivity screen modes for better sound? Who knows.

I think the price was about right to be honest. Adjusting for current interest in the system of course.

Just my two pence.  :-D

It was completely legit as he received payment in full..don't doubt the dream!

As far as new units are concerned it's all talk / rumors / ideas at this point and as we all know we probably shouldn't hold our breath for new items. After all..the original softhut listing still says that there will be another run of the toastscans in August but that was what, 2 years ago now?

As far as a question of being worth it and if it's magically worth the amounts they go for I think it's up to the people that pay for it. It seems to me that at least 3 people feel it is judging by the current / recent toastscan auctions.

Better $900 on a toastscan than a hooker.

Oh and as a sidenote the toastscan auction had 67 watchers.

Maybe you're right. $910 is a bit overpriced and most certainly beyond my range. I bid $40. Ha!

Times are a changin' people. Get used to the high prices. I did! :crazy:
