Re: Trojan Armor bankrupts inventor
Personally I reckon he should have just put the suit on and robbed a bank. After a swat team failed to stop him he might get orders :)

Pfff.  He should have sold it to Osama bin Ladin - after all, he's a millionaire and it'd trap him by making him too heavy for his donkey.

  
Re: Trojan Armor bankrupts inventor
He should've checked to see if there'd be a legitimate buyer BEFORE he sold himself making it. Then he wouldn't be SNAFU, he might actually be rich..duh

Re: Trojan Armor bankrupts inventor
I hope the guy who buys it on ebay is using an alias so he can rob a bank with it and then would-be investors can facepalm.

Re: Trojan Armor bankrupts inventor
I want that suit for my Halloween costume...and for a potential World War III eruption. --- Oh, and btw, if you check the eBay listing, it says that it does not come with the ballistic armor, so therefore, firing a shotgun at the version sold at eBay would not be a wise idea.

 
Re: Trojan Armor bankrupts inventor
that suit is so badass

i would think that if it could really do what he claims it could do he would have plenty of orders

edit: note that he has a reserve price on the item, and its not met yet at 35.1k

i don't feel sorry for him... nowadays, you get media attention, and you have an item listed on ebay, you're going to make a fortune off of it.  $35,000 and still 3 days left to go

Notice the reserve is not met. So the bid means nothing - he could easily have friends bid it up in an attempt to make more money.

Re: Trojan Armor bankrupts inventor
oh i noticed the reserve, but i read he wanted to make "at least 15,000" on it.  yet he set the reserve wayyyy higher.

that's why i don't feel sorry for him
