Cool Google Glass

I recently was invite to join the Google Glass explorer program, but do not want to spend the money on it and willing to sell my invite for 200 dollars. If any one is interested send me a pm and we can make an arrangement.

The glasses themselves go for 1500 so its 1700 total. Two hundred to me 1500 to Google.

sure the explorer program is where you agree to enroll in google glass beta testing. As an explorer you are given a set of Google Glasses and are given access to Google glass SDK so you can begin to develop apps for its android based OS.

From Wiki

"Glass Explorer program

The Glass Explorer program is an early adopter program available for developers and consumers to test Google Glass, and gauge how people will want to use it. Entry into the Explorer program was made available to the general public on February 20, 2013, and ended on February 27, 2013. The program's promotional material stated that "bold, creative individuals" who wanted to test the device were being sought out. Applicants were required to post a message—of 50 words or less—on Google+ or Twitter with the hashtag "#ifihadglass" featured. Successful applicants were required to attend a Google Glass event in either New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles to pick up the developer version for US$1,500.[1]

The Explorer Edition receives data through Wi-Fi, or it can tether via Bluetooth to share data connection. The Glass does not have built-in GPS or SMS messaging, but can access these services through Bluetooth connection to Android devices. The Glass also supports Bluetooth headset profiles for use in making & receiving voice calls.[41]

Users issue voice commands by first saying "ok glass", followed by the command, or they can scroll through the options using a finger along the side of the device. The Explorer Edition also features an interchangeable sunglasses accessory that twists on or off. Monthly updates to the Glass are planned after the program starts.[42]

On April 16, 2013, Google announced that production was complete for the initial Glass Explorer Edition units and the corporation would begin shipping.[43] On the same day, Google also released a web-based setup page for Glass,[44] as well as the MyGlass companion app.[45] Developers were also given first access to the Mirror API for Glass.[46]

Following the XE7 update to the Glass Explorer Edition in early July 2013, evidence of music and video players, in addition to the device's volume control, was noted.[47] As of 27 August 2013, 10,000 people were selected as part of a contest to test the early version of the device.[48]"

Yea because I went out of my way to publish my own wiki article to make an extra 200 bucks.

Its called a system of supply and demand. I have supply and if the demand cannot be met by existing supply why should the supplier not be able to make a few bucks capitalizing on his initial investment of time and research.

If I'm not mistaken this is how most economics work throughout the world. Supplier spends money to produce a good. Marks up that product and resells it to demanding markets.

Sorry to shed light on such a controversial subject. Mods please close my thread if I'm insulting in anyway.

I too would like to chip in. Can we get a pool started?


Can you watch porn on these things? Might be a good selling point for a lot of explorers.

Maybe I used the wrong phrasing. You must not like people having expensive things most of the rest of the world would like to have.

Strange statement. But in any regard, judging by this thread, not a lot of people want the silly Google glasses.
