I’ve gotta lego of my eBay logo

October 13, 2008

Four and a half years ago an AFOL (Adult Fans of LEGO) started work at eBay and painstakingly built the eBay logo out of LEGO. Ever since it has hung next to their desk at work in the San Jose eBay offices, to the admiration of fellow workers and visitors.

Now they’re leaving the company they’re looking for a new home for their sign, which is constructed of around 3000 individual LEGO baseplates, so of course it’s up for auction on eBay.

It would be a bit sad to break it down for someone “who just wants to buy a crapload of white plates”. The idea of an “eBay Marketing rep who wants a nice centerpiece for a convention booth” would be a fitting epitaph to one eBay employee’s love of the company.
