Unless one of our members, "Zorba" is selling his segways this person seems to be using his photo's check out these two ebay offerings and then look at zorba's photo on segwaychat.

Poor Zorba... I emailed him too :) He's probably getting swamped with them. Sorry mate!

There are a little over six thousand Segway owners!
There are a little over six billion people in the world!
I'm one in a million! :)

These auctions are now over. Wonder if the merchandise will be shipped?

There are currently a slew of Segways for the gift buying season on eBay.

There's a slew of them alright, but hardly one that I'd trust, except nikinax's who's been "vouched for" by a segway chat regular.

Most of the rest claim to have been won in contests, and one is a certain scam! (It has the key characteristics repeatedly used by a known Segway scammer).

Item 3644469750 is interesting, it *could* be for real, he's published the serial number, the pic is not one I've seen before and the price is right. If he allowed personal pick up I'd go for it *if* I was in the USA!

I think personal pick up would be about the only way I'd go with an eBay Segway. There's just too many scams! I'll be begging someone here to do a pick up for me soon, I hope! One Segway is just one too few!

Cheers
