HP TouchPad Craziness Continues: TouchPad Drawing on eBay Nearing In On $100,000

Tweet

In a world where HP decided to stop selling a tablet that few were buying in the first place to only have it become super popular we should go in understanding that craziness will soon follow. Of course, the super popular part came as a result of the TouchPad being sold for $99.

That alone sucked quite a few people in, myself included, though in the end my purchase turned out to not end up going through. But actual TouchPad tablets aside, how about a drawing of the tablet going for nearly $100,000. Yup, it looks like one enterprising individual has decided to try their luck and cash in on the craze.

The auction is on eBay and currently has 74 bids with 6 days and 9 hours left before it ends. The auction is sitting at $95,100.00 and it is for a simple drawing. In fact, according to the artist person who posted this, it is an “awful drawing of an HP TouchPad.”

You are bidding on an awful drawing of an HP Touchpad. I’m posting this because I see idiots bidding $300 on $99 tablets, and $850 on a $99 tablet running Android–so I figured maybe someone would be dumb enough to bid on my drawing. Hell, if this sells for over $800, I’ll draw you another one with Android on it AT NO EXTRA COST!

Sure, I’ll admit it: I want a Touchpad, but I’m not spending over $150 on one. Yeah, I hang out on Slick Deal’s 1500+ page forum AS A GUEST looking to snag a deal–go ahead, hate me. But only AFTER bidding on this.

This was drawn on a regular sized sheet of white paper. The drawing is in BLUE pen!–my (and likely your) favorite color. This weighs less than an actual touchpad, is flexible, and is 1/1–you can sleep well at night knowing that you’re different than the thousands of others who got a “real” touchpad. It can also be viewed as a drawing of a 16 or 32 gb one.

And finally, this touchpad drawing is of the rare WHITE one.

And worry not, just in case you bid and win, the drawing will be shipped in a padded envelope. All said and done, this is nothing more than some entertainment for your Friday afternoon. At that, we suspect a few things can happen here — eBay will eventually pull the auction or the winning bidder will never pay — because seriously, who wants to buy a drawing for $100,000 from a self-described broke college student.
