The chair was forfeited by the original owner and builder of the motorized chair and became the property of the Proctor Police Department.
Proctor put the chair up for auction on eBay last week with a starting price of $500. The chair quickly jumped to over $43,000 until the auction was killed by eBay because of false representation.
The first auction listing is shown above one day before eBay killed the sale. The description said it was a La-Z-Boy chair. Since it was not a La-Z-Boy brand chair, eBay had no alternative but to cancel the auction.
The town of Proctor then put the chair back on eBay. The new auction number is
The first auction number was: 150384476487. The new auction number is: 150385696050.
This time around the price of the chair is not climbing nearly as fast as it did last week. The graphic below shows the current auction two hours before close with the price at $10,099.99.
And forget shipping -- the winning bidder is required to pick up the chair in Proctor, Minnesota.
The chair (shown above along with Mr. Anderson) was powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine from a lawnmower. It has headlights, a stereo, cup holders, a nitrous oxide power boost system, drag racing style steering wheel, a parachute and other custom options, including different power levels.
