All evidence points to the account belonging to a pawn shop called A to Z Pawnbrokers in San Francisco.

The Wall Street Journal reported last summer that Alphabet meant to "quietly [distribute] a new version of its Glass wearable computer aimed at businesses in industries such as health care, manufacturing and energy". As of writing, the current bid is $7,200 (£5,000), with 52 bids placed so far.

The images accompanying the eBay auction for a possible prototype of the yet-to-be-launched Google Glass Enterprise Edition eyewear are noticeably similar to the images in Google's FCC filing for the new Glass model in December 2015. Bidding started on March 18 at $299 and since then 50 bids have been placed, pushing the price $1,500 more than the original price of the Google Glass Explorer Edition past year. Similarities include a folding hinge as well as an outward-facing LED light, and a different charging interface.

Well, despite whatever the intended objective may have originally been, it seems someone has found their own use for the new-and-improved enterprise Glass: Scoring quick cash at a pawn shop. The prism display on this version is larger than the previous one as well.
