But no worries, it was just because La-Z-Boy didn't want their name associated with the Frankenstein'esk creation.

La-Z-Boy Kills Motorized ‘La-Z-Boy’ Auction | Autopia | Wired.com

The eBay auction for that infamous motorized “La-Z-Boy” came to an end faster than a speeding recliner because of a catfight over the name La-Z-Boy. But never fear — the incredibly awesome machine is up for sale once again.

The company that makes chairs beloved by lazy boys everywhere took exception to police in Proctor, Minnesota, linking its good name to a glorified lawn mower confiscated from convicted drunk driver Dennis LeRoy Anderson. Police put the wild ride up for sale last week, but La-Z-Boy Corp. pulled the plug one day before the bidding — which had topped $43,700 — was to end. Police Chief Walter Wobig told us the listing came down at 11 a.m. Monday, about the same time he got a fax from La-Z-Boy.

“I talked to this guy Rand Tucker from La-Z-Boy who asked if we could take ‘La-Z-Boy’ out of the listing and out of the whole thing and to respect the La-Z-Boy trademark,” the chief told us this morning.

Highest bid was $43,700 before it was taken down. I gotta say though, it actually looks pretty decent!
