ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A British man tried to sell a deactivated Soviet-era Zil missile on eBay, but was forced to delete the item. A spokesman from the online auctioneer said the man breached company rules not by offering a weapon, but because he listed it along with its vehicle launcher and not by itself.

The missile’s fully operational launcher is still on offer, at $35,660.

Richard Moore, from Cambridgeshire, described his Zil 135 Free Range Over Ground (FROG) rocket launcher as the “mother of all toys,” Reuters reported."
