Dreamcast Zip Drive prototype on eBay

I’ve seen some obscure collectibles in my time, but nothing beats this in terms of rarity, uselessness, or an obscene price of entry. Pictured is the only known prototype in existence of an Iomega Zip Drive for the Sega Dreamcast. It would have been quite useful for storing save games, had there ever been games released that supported the device, however as it stands, this device has all the functionality of a paperweight.

The icing on a truly absurd cake? The starting bid for the auction is USD $10,000. NB: Your significant other does NOT think this is a good investment.
