World’s Most Expensive Chair Looks Like an Uncomfortable Metal Jelly Bean

This “lounger” composed of aluminum and fiberglass is to set go for between $1.6 million and $2.4 million at auction next month at Christie’s in London. While The Sun’s headline proclaims the chair to be a “million pounds of comfort,” the key word in the “fluid aluminum form” envisioned by its designer, Marc Newson, is…

Harrods Hires Cobra, Not COBRA, to Protect Schmancy Shoes

Surely the London Harrods didn’t intend to hire a simple snake to stand guard over $120,000 ruby- sapphire- and diamond-encrusted designer sandals. Clearly, it was a miscommunication: We think they meant COBRA, not A cobra. Lasers and "a fearful cry" are much better deterrents than a teensy snake bite. [AP]

Basis Audio’s $150,000 Turntable

What is it with uber-premium turntables? Is there really a demand for $50,000+ record players? Basis Audio certainly seems to think so; they make the “Work of Art” turntable. And at $150,000, the Work of Art is definitely one of the most expensive consumer audio devices out there. It boasts features such as Resonance Annihilation,…

Ears-On with JBL’s $300,000 Home Cinema Set-Up with 9.6 Surround Sound (Verdict: OMFGIWANTONE)

We had the pleasure of listening to the new JBL’s Project Everest Everest DD66000 speakers plus a few other important-sounding things, but, frankly, they had us at “$40,000 per speaker.” Where were we? In JBL’s rather impressive home cinema that cost $300,000 to build —including 6TB of storage for DVDs, their lowest end setup. And…

Hello Kitty Swarovski Maneki Neto Doll is Yours for $66,000

Swarovski whores with $66,000 to spare might be interested in this Maneki Neko doll from Hello Kitty. It parked its cat butt at a Tokyo department store recently in order to show off around 800 one-off Kitty products. Ironically enough, Maneki Neko is a symbol of wealth, which leads me to rewrite Jane Austen. “A…

Topcon GR3 GPS Receiver: The Mr T of Navigation?

The Topcon GR3 looks more like a heavy-duty flashlight than a GPS receiver. It looks like the kind of tool that Bruce Willis would use in one of the Die Hard movies to bop the bad guy over the head—or Ashton Kutcher if he’s being a cheeky beggar. Really a tool for surveyors who need…

Audiovox’s Jensen GPS System Tips the Scales at $800

Just when we thought pricing on GPS systems was going down, out comes Audiovox with their new Jensen NVXM1000 navigator. The XM-ready unit comes in at a whopping $800 and features an 8GB drive, a 4-inch screen, and an external SD slot. Unfortunately, there’s no Bluetooth, which at $800 is a slight miss. The navigator…
