Default Is this really something people want for Christmas??

When I saw this one I couldn't believe it existed... maybe someone of you guys is selling those.

How popular is it? I think is one of the ugliest audio/geek things I have ever seen....

I like the look of it. Combining old with new.

Its not something I would ever use though, so I won't be adding it to my Christmas list.

My thoughts exactly. It is more of an art piece, the blending of old and new technology.

Not overpriced for the workmanship involved. Models are available in two different woods and 3 styles

People buy the craziest things on ebay.... I put up a test auction for 10 used pens for like 6 bucks and a couple days later someone bought it...

All i could ask myself was why would anyone buy this when you can buy 10 brand new ones for the same price or even less.

People buy all kinds of weird stuff - for feedback or resale.

Between US$250 & US$299, excluding postage. Have a brother dreaming he might get one as a present. Well might he dream.

Another overpriced pile of garbage. But nowadays this is the very type of products people tend to buy, just because it looks cool. And Instagram demands "cool" photos in your feed.

Looks more like a gimmick to me. Probably won't be on Ebay's hot items on the front page.
