Segway auctions close with 6-figure bids
Three lucky consumers will be among the first to own a Segway Human Transporter, but they will pay a pretty price. Auctions for three of the devices closed on Amazon.com on Thursday night at $100,600, $104,100 and, after several last-minute bids, $160,000. Bruce Waldack, an Internet millionaire and the founder of Thruport Technologies, won one of the HTs with the final bid of $100,600. Waldack, who collects vintage computers, sold DigitalNation, a Web hosting firm he founded, to Verio for $100 million in 1999.
