Pretty sure somebody already mentioned this, but selling google glass permits google to shut the glasses down.

Ya, doesn't happen. Already moved them on to a few different google accounts, no issues at all.

Taking offers for my second pair!

Second pair? How'd you get two pairs?

I had a pair and my business partner had a pair. He saw what I fetched for mine and asked me to sell his too.

OP says he's allowed to give them away as 'gifts' according to the TOS.

I've seen these go for 10grand easy... Now we see how much btc someone is willing to pay

Ya, at this point there are no BTC offers that I'd accept but someone did make an interesting cash offer, waiting to see how that pans out.

Wow 90,000$ is awfully expensive for a pair of glasses.
I think that was a mock listing...

It was actually just one of many that got bid up like that. I honestly don't know how they panned out for the sellers.

tons of people got them in the twitter contest with low follower counts and un-brilliant ideas.

I know several developers who got them last year at google IO, all you had to do was sign up for the Explorer program and agree to pay the fee, I think it was $1500...

There's not a heck of a lot you can do with Glass as yet; the novelty factor wears off fast... people stop wearing them after a week or two.

That is why they want developers to have them.

So they can turn software like this:

into real-time structural failure detection and lie-detection micro-expression capturing.

An active mind doesn't get bored.

My 2 year contract for my cellphone had to be renewed. I figured "cool, I know the new iPhone (the 5) just came out, I'll pay the extra for it."

I went to my local AT&T store AND Best Buy. I found out there was a wait list at both, and you had to wait 2-3 months (at both places) to get the phone. You had to WAIT to spend a significant amount of YOUR money.

So I said screw-it, walked back into Best Buy, bought the 4gs. It does everything I need and more.

My point with all this is...everyone wants the newest, coolest thing. I believe patience is the best policy. Later on (not even in near future) you will see lowered prices/a better version of the item (ex: LCD TV's), AND you'll have more time to weigh your decision.

I would love to buy these but I'm too afraid that google will block them  Sad

Been moved on to several different Google accounts already with no issues. Been used in different states with no issues. Doesn't seem like there will be any issues.

The only thing I'm not certain what would happen is if you used them outside of the USA. (but you could always use a proxy for that too)

Glass has also already been jailbroken so you could flash linux on to them and use them if Google ever did try to brick them.

Um why would anyone buy these for 90k when everyone can just buy them for $1500 in another couple months? Thats like charging $50,000 for an iphone 5s... whats with the price gougers  lately...


Probably because if someone listened to you thinking they could buy them in a couple of months they would be very upset with you in a couple of months.

That's my guess... since you can't buy them for 1,500 in a couple of months....

Also, have you even read the posts here... No one is trying to sell them for 90k. That was a snip from a news article from like a month ago. Pay attention if you want to troll...
I do belive that google said they plan on releaseing it to users at the end of 2013 early 2014. so that is only 6/7 months

Still before BFL ships their much anticipated products. lol Wink

That would be a good contest for one of the BTC prediction markets.  Google glass available for retail purchase or BFL actually shipping ASIC products on a mass scale, which happens first.

Does anyone know if the version out there is the one that they will release in 2014, or is it just a concept piece?

There will likely be some changes to the final retail version. This is however a fully functioning dev release. It works great.
