Strap-On Aircraft To Be Sold On eBay

from the the-marketplace-of-the-next-generation dept

Amazon may be the only place you can buy a Segway scooter, but eBay may be one upping them by offering the SoloTrek XFV personal aircraft for sale on the site by the end of this week. They're only selling one, and SoloTrek expects it to go for over $1 million. I still haven't seen much information as to how well the SoloTrek works. I'm also curious what this means for the company that, just a few weeks ago, was supposedly going out of business due to a lack of money, missed milestones and (warning for those of you wanting to spend millions of dollars on this thing) a test-flight "accident".
