The famous DWI racing chair just sold for a respectable $10,099.99 on eBay -- but it's a far cry from the $43,000 bid that was placed on Monday ... when the La-Z-Boy corporation busted in and ruined everything.
The La-Z-Boy head honchos were pissed because the incredible machine was being sold under their trademarked name -- so the company killed the Proctor Minnesota Police Department's first attempt to sell the chair earlier this week.
The chair was re-listed the day after the cancellation without the La-Z-Boy named attached -- but the damage was done ... as the bidding frenzy fizzled out last night a whopping $32,900.01 below the original highest offer.
The proceeds of the sale were going to benefit Proctor taxpayers ... so sucks for them.

The dude who was arrested for drunk driving a motorized recliner says he wrecked his kick-ass ride because he was trying to pop a wheelie ... and the CHICK RIDING ON THE BACK OF THE La-Z-Boy threw off his balance!
We just got off the phone with 61-year-old Dennis LeRoy, who told us the only thing harder to do than pop a wheelie on a racing chair after slamming 8 beers is popping a wheelie on a racing chair with a chick on the back after slamming 8 beers.
The added weight must have thrown off LeRoy's already dicey equilibrium -- because the unfortunate passenger ended up getting tossed from the ride and LeRoy ended up slamming into a parked car ... which landed him in the slammer.
Don't forget, people ... tricks are for kids!

Bob Barker's been away from television for just a month, but it seems like an eternity. For those of you who have wandered aimlessly in abject forlornness, fear not, your pitiable life may have just gotten a bit brighter. You can buy Bob's chair on eBay if ... the price is right.
Mr. Barker has donated his on-set chair, emblazoned with W.G.M.C., which stands for "World's Greatest Master of Ceremonies," a nickname given to him by his staff of yore. And now it can be yours. Letter of authenticity included -- handwritten by Bob. That alone, is priceless.
100% of the proceeds from the sale will go to United Activists for Animal Rights.
