Why do I have the feeling that Mr. K (formerly J3D1) will end up figuring out a way to get this thing somehow? :lol

I don't know... still a lot of money to bid for someone with a feedback of 1 and that's as a buyer. Plus he requires a deposit before even seeing it. I'm sure someone built this bike... but the auction doesn't really prove it's him.

If it is legit... I still see someone getting injured very quickly on this thing, unless they are very skilled at riding.

And now for the bad news... you can't post live auctions unless they are yours. Try removing the direct link.

Holy **** !!! :eek

This is so awesome it's not even funny. But it's local pick up only (like that's the only deal breaker :lol)

Having it shipped to France would be in the $2000 range anyway, and the reserve price won't be cheap given they ask for a non-refundable $5000 deposit.

That's how much I paid for my car, so there's no way I can spend that on a prop no matter how frickin' cool it is !

That and the last Keaton Batmobile that was auctionned last week would be my dream garage.

*sigh*

WB pulled the auction off. But it looks like the seller is now going to raffle it out. He's still deciding from the looks of it.

Well, after only 3 days and over 35,000 views on ebay, the "Batpod" replica was pulled by warner brothers until we remove "Batpod" from the description. Even though I am mad, it does show that they can't stop anyone from selling these, just from using the copyrighted names and such.

As of today, we have almost certainly have decided to raffle off the "Batpod" replica (I can say it here) and hope that a true fan of Batman wins this bike. [BigGrin]

We were thinking 20.00 tickets or 6 for 100.00 with a limit of 5000 tickets total

or 100.00 tickets with only 1000 tickets total. Thoughts?

Drawing would be held on July 31st 2010 at 12:00 pm at our shop.

We would love your input...

Selling this thing seems like an incredibly bad idea. The origional asking price for 100 grand was never going to sell, the most somebody offered was in the area of 30,000. Ontop of that, it comes with the drive chain missing (so you can't ride it) and if you could, it's not street legal. So all you can do is look it it or ride it around your yard. :lol The raffle.... good luck getting 999 people to toss away 100$.

I hate to be the party pooper but that's the way I see it. I seriously doubt enough people are going to be interested in this prop for the raffle to work at those high prices. It's cool but there are other, more reconizeable props from the movie that I would rather have even if I had the money.

Ok Guys, I am new to this site but I built the Batpod in question and I wanted to clear up a few issues. First off, the 5000.00 deposit was for the winner of the auction so I knew I was dealing with someone that would follow thru with the deal. Also, the 100k amount was too much money and I knew that, but it gets rid of the idiots making offers to buy for 100 bucks and so on. The chain being removed is a liability issue in that if some idiot kiled himself on the bike that I sold as a rideable bike instead of a non-rideable movie prop, I would ultimately be held responsible. No Thanks. (What would you do?)
The bike is now back on ebay,com and flurbie.com (5000 raffle tickets -20.00 each) (already sold 100 or so today) with pictures of Batman on the real Batpod removed so hopefully, no more problems there. Cheers!
