Now you've seen it all

It happened offline too, so that you don't think that everything connected to the web is crazy, a few years ago some people actually stole a tank and drove it on the street as if they was some sort of toys. Well, the British don't want to fall short, so they thought about selling a deactivated Soviet FROG missile on EBay.

Richard Moore, from Cambridgeshire, was asked to remove his add because he broke the regulations. But it's not the fact that we're talking about a ROCKET LAUNCHER, it's just that the deactivated missile and the fully functional rocket launcher should have been sold separately. EBay doesn't allow selling any ammunition, replica guns or firearms on its sites. If missile and launcher were put together they become a complete 'weapon' said EBay.

So, if over the next few days you'll stumble upon an add that says "fully functional rocket launcher up for sale", don't be too surprised. It costs about 35,000$, look it under Zil 135 Free Range Over Ground (FROG) rocket launcher. If you're on the market for a missile too, you'll have to deal with your local terrorists, not eBay
