A motorised chair that saw a man arrested last year when he drunkenly drove it into a parked car has been sold on eBay - for $10,099.99 (£6,000).
Walter Wobig, the Police Chief in Proctor, Minnesota, says international media attention helped fuel the bidding.
The chair was built by Dennis LeRoy Anderson - who pleaded guilty to driving the motorized chair with a blood-alcohol level nearly four times the legal limit.
The recliner is powered by a lawnmower engine. It comes equipped with a stereo, cup holders and lights.
Anderson says he expected the chair would fetch only $2,000 to $3,000.
Police sold the confiscated chair on eBay - but were initially forced to withdraw the listing after they had mistakenly referred to the chair as being a La-Z-Boy brand recliner.
The bidding on the first auction had reached $43,000 before they had to pull it after complaints from La-Z-Boy - making it a costly mistake for the force.
Wobig didn't immediately know the identify of the winning bidder, he said.
