[Spridgets] DWI chair is relisted

[corvallis at peoplepc.com]

eBay pulled it real good. I can find no mention of it. Seller's handle was
city_of_proctor.

"Police in Minnesota have had to start over again an online auction for a
motorized recliner used by a man who pleaded guilty to driving it drunk.

The Proctor police department had to repost the chair after eBay notified
them that it was not a La-Z-Boy brand as stated. It has been reposted as the
"DWI Chair," which restarted a three-day auction.

Police Chief Walter Wobig is worried that the city of 3,000 will lose a big
chunk of revenue, though. The first time, the department received bids
topping $43,000 after the chair's story circulated. But by midday Tuesday,
bids were up to just $2,550.

The recliner, powered by a lawnmower engine, comes equipped with a stereo,
cup holders and lights. Its former owner had pleaded guilty to operating it
while intoxicated."
