HAL 9000 on the Auction Block

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the if-you-have-to-much-money-just-give-it-to-me dept.

pompous windbag writes "The Cinerama 160 degree lens used to both play and film the viewpoint of the famous paranoid processor. He's now up for sale on eBay, for the starting bid of just $150,000(USD). This looks like the real deal, complete with letters of authenticity and some extra goodies like "...an original '2001' movie program, a copy of the original script, two issues of American Cinematographer Magazines on the production of '2001' published in 1968, and the movie '2010' published in 1985. Also included is videotape showing how HAL 9000 originated and was used by Stanley Kubrick.' "

    HAL9000: What are you doing, senloe?

    senloe: I'm selling you on ebay?

    HAL9000: Why are you doing that?

    senloe: I need money.

    HAL9000: I don't think I can allow you to sell me, senloe...

    Or maybe... HAL is putting himself up for sale! He could be lonely.
