Interesting… I just ran across a list of the most expensive items purchased at Amazon.com during 2006. To be honest, the items on this list aren’t nearly as expensive as I would’ve expected…
Indeed, it seems that nobody is buying things like the $204, 000 IWC watch or the Antique Russian Floral Bouquet Paperweight even though they’re both in stock and the watch is being offered for a whopping $36, 000 off list price.
Returning to the list reference above, I’m not sure about you guys, but I’d much prefer my own personal set of bleachers to a 60 volume biographical collection. Sadly, the reviews aren’t great, and there’s a 3-5 week wait on the bleachers. Then again, this may be for the best given that shipping costs a bit over $1500.
What’s the most exotic thing that you’ve seen for sale at Amazon?
The landcruiser has been on my Amazon wish list for two years now. No one has bought it yet. I’m hoping that Santa is bringing it this year.
Amanda: Very interesting. I’ve always purchased my depleted uranium locally, but I guess this is a good alternative. 😉
Here’s an exotic item that’s a steal at $22.95!
Customers that were unhappy with this product also had problems with this one (not so much of a steal).
Many complained that the book did not fit on their shelves and the depleted uranium ore did not make their time machine work.
Edwin: Very nice! And there are only two left in stock, so you better hurry… 😉
I think the JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank
has to be one of the most exotic items I’ve seen on Amazon coming in at $20,000 but shipping is only $15!
That is crazy can you imagine spending 86,000 on a floral paper weight???
People who buy that have money to burn!
