FacebookInteresting… I just ran across a list of the most expensive items purchased at Amazon.com during 2006. To be honest, the items on this list aren’t nearly as expensive as I would’ve expected…
Indeed, it seems that nobody is buying things like the $204,000 IWC watch or the Antique Russian Floral Bouquet Paperweight even though they’re both in stock and the watch is being offered for a whopping $36,000 off list price.
Returning to the list reference above, I’m not sure about you guys, but I’d much prefer my own personal set of bleachers to a 60 volume biographical collection. Sadly, the reviews aren’t great, and there’s a 3-5 week wait on the bleachers. Then again, this may be for the best given that shipping costs a bit over $1500.
What’s the most exotic thing that you’ve seen for sale at Amazon?

Comment by Edwin — Dec 18th 2007 @ 1:27 amhas to be one of the most exotic items I’ve seen on Amazon coming in at $20,000 but shipping is only $15!
Edwin: Very nice! And there are only two left in stock, so you better hurry…
Here’s an exotic item that’s a steal at $22.95!
Customers that were unhappy with this product also had problems with this one (not so much of a steal).
Many complained that the book did not fit on their shelves and the depleted uranium ore did not make their time machine work.
Comment by Amanda — Dec 18th 2007 @ 10:46 amAmanda: Very interesting. I’ve always purchased my depleted uranium locally, but I guess this is a good alternative.
The landcruiser has been on my Amazon wish list for two years now. No one has bought it yet. I’m hoping that Santa is bringing it this year.
