Found this while browsing for a plastic model. They sell -anything- on there, don’t they? [http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=588454510](http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=588454510) ---

On an equally pointless note, the guy who designed it died yesterday [http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid\_1328000/1328132.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid_1328000/1328132.stm) ---

Not quite everything. You are not allowed to sell: pets, children, internal organs, or one’s services if you’re a hooker. People have tried selling everyone of them, though. ---

Nah… Forget it the seller doesn’t have enough feedback. I mean I would like to see at least one or two messages along the lines of… user: swordofislam - “Great Ebay Seller! AAA rated! Merchandise shipped in a timely fashion and delivered in perfect condition as described.- Kromsky heavy lifter attack helicopter works great for rough terrain sorties. Would buy from this seller again!” ---

According to their [website](http://www.tejavia.com/), they also sell fridges, chandeleirs and tunnelling electron microscopes. Nowm, if I can just find me a 9000ft runway, I’ll make a bid 😃 ---
