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."

You're welcome Cindy. Incredible what people sell on that site, isn't it? More incredible, he'll probably sell it and who knows what else has been sold through that site that hasn't had such scrutiny.
