--Couldn't tell from the photos; is this a balancing 2-wheeler or
are there casters in addition to the drive wheels underneath?

I'd really like to bid (it's $0.80 right now), but I can't afford
the shipping.

You have to wonder if they'll also throw in the lavender panties (second
to the bottom picture).

I wonder if it comes with liability insurance or the panties.

Gordon McComb, famous author of several robotics related
publications, reveals that he has plenty of time to hone skills
not related to the technical field.

In a recent post to the comp.robotics.misc newsgroup, he
demonstrates an uncanny ability to spot womans underwear
in digital images on internet auction sites.

We can only speculate that this is a study he branched into
while researching machine vision, which involves manipulation
of digital image data and the attempt to recover meaningful
data from those images.

:-P

No, not safe... the panties aren't the remains of the guy, the shoes are...

struck...

It looks to me like it's on a Lazy Susan, with the wheels only there to
rotate it. This is a stationary device.
