Fake Google Glass eBay Auction scores $15,900 before being pulled down

Some say that the Google Glass would cost $1,500. However, this price has soared up several rungs and has touched fever pitch in a fake auction on eBay. Early bidders who wanted the first glimpse, touch and experience of the revolutionary innovation were ready to shed $15,900 on eBay. That’s over ten times the original rate. eBay quickly took it down and slapped everyone back to sanity. Google went on to confirm the actual release date around the holiday season. A user by the name of ‘bla7kcat’ managed to reveal the absolute craze that the Google Glass has inspired.

What convinced people about this being an authentic release goes something like this, “I’ve been selected as an early adapter for Google’s upcoming release. you are buying a brand new unopened pair of Google’s Project Glass glasses. i will be personally attending and picking up my pair in either Los Angeles, or New York at Google’s Project Glass launch event, which will take place some time after February 27th”. The bidder teased his way into the minds of the folks through a description that was earnest and smartly crafted. “i am selling a pair of Google Glasses (Project Glass glasses). I’ve been selected as an early adapter for Google’s upcoming release. you are buying a brand new unopened pair of Google’s Project Glass glasses. i will be personally attending and picking up my pair in either Los Angeles, or New York at Google’s Project Glass launch event, which will take place some time after Feburary 27th. as for what colors will actually be available, will vary, if i am offered a choice, I will choose the color of your choice (see listing picture for variants). my cost to buy my glasses is $1,500 (USD), so obviously thats where ive started the auction at.
