'You never will again in this accurate recreation of the DeLorean Time
Machine made famous in the Back to the Future movie series. This
recreation was painstakingly researched for nearly 5 years before
construction. Dozens of original photographs, details, and interviews

make sure no detail was left un-accounted for. All of the interior and
exterior Time Machine components were made to last, but at the same
time not damage the integrity of the original vehicle. (...) Motion
picture parts replicated through archival photos and extensive
research; working interior and exterior lighting system including the
"Flux Capacitor", "Time Circuits" and exterior "Flux Dispersion

Town Sold On eBay Finally Sold For
Real... But Not On eBay
Town Sold On eBay Finally Sold For
Real... But Not On eBay
05/21/2004 02:35 AMBack in 2002 there was a tremendous amount of hype when Bridgeville,
the small (mostly deserted) California town was
put up
for sale on eBay. It eventually sold in an auction for $1.8
million - and got a tremendous amount of press attention. The only
problem: the $1.8 million bid was a hoax. A whole year went by and
the owners of the "town" sheepishly admitted that
the
buyer (and his money) never showed up. Now, however, the town has
been sold again -
but not on eBay, and back down at its original asking
price of $700,000. Even with the failure of the actual sale to go
through, though, people still remember that you can "sell a town on
eBay," contributing to the
use of
eBay as a PR platform beyond just its ability to match buyers and
sellers.

09/20/2004 10:53 AMHave you ever wished you had started and owned Lindows instead of
Michael Robertson? After all, the upstart Linux distribution first
gained huge notoriety by pulling on the whiskers of the Microsoft
monopoly, then by losing a few rounds in court as Gates and company
went global court-shopping, but finally banking hundreds of millions
of dollars to settle the suit Microsoft had filed against it here in
the U.S. Well, whip out your credit card, because you can pick up
L-I-N-D-O-W-S right now on eBay for a starting bid of just a couple
hundred dollars. The original Lindows signage, that is.

04/30/2004 02:47 PMGoogle is now letting those who are already signed up for their Gmail
service invite two new people to the service, and as you might
imagine, this limited supply of a service in high demand has already
meant that
plenty of invites are showing up on eBay, and people are trying to
charge an awful lot for them. Honestly, anyone who buys this invite
has to be something of a sucker. With the invites getting easier and
easier to come by, any amount spent is probably too much.

Darth Vader's flagship for sale on eBay
Darth Vader's flagship for sale on eBay
04/21/2004 02:08 AMThis guy spent three years building an enourmous model of Star Wars
Super Star Destroyer -- Darth Vader's flagship. It's to the same scale
as the 4" figurines, making it a kind of jumbo skiffy dollhouse for
your Lucasfilm dollies. It's pretty amazing. Bidding stands at
£305 right now with four days left.
Taking almost 3 years to make, this is the one of a kind 4" scale
figure toy that I always wanted, and now I have built it. I just wish
I’d had one of these when I was a kid. And for kids this Star
Destroyer has been built. The ship is constructed almost entirely of
wood and all the parts are quite chunky with nothing small to break
off (unless abused). It is approximately 2 metres in length, 1.5
metres wide and 1 metre high, it is rather large but built solidly.
Caster wheels on the base allow for easy movement and the top section
can be removed for storage and easier transportation. Not for under
3s but great fun to play with from 6 – 60 year olds!
