Ebay rocket launcher sale stopped

[Beemer]

Richard Moore, from Cambridgeshire, was told to remove the missile offer, because he broke eBay regulations. According to Reuters, it was not the fact that he was selling a missile which could have once been used to deliver a weapon of mass destruction that broke the rules.



wow! The funny thing is the actual reason they stopped the auction:

Ebay was miffed that he had chosen to sell the missile in the same auction as its fully functional rocket launcher. Ebay said that the missile should have appeared as a separate item. This is because the auctioneer bans the sale of any ammunition, replica guns or firearms on its sites. If missile and launcher were put together they become a complete 'weapon' said Ebay.

HAHAHAHAHA. Now that is hilarious. So he just needs to have a link on the launchers site saying "buy my 'Museum Rocket' here"

Looks like a SCUD tactical nuclear warhead launcher but I'm pretty sure it's the older one.

Heh, when I thought rocket launcher, I was thinking something out of Unreal Tournament, not the actual vehicle launcher hehehe.
