OOEB: An exact replica of the Back To The Future Delorean
At first glance - this may seem like a foolish purchase. After all - who would want to own a stainless-steel sports car with a whole load of extra weight on the back of it… but for an avid eBayer, this could be your best friend.
Here’s the scenario. You spot an auction you absolutely must have - but the only problem is… it ends in 5 days. Sure, you could use auction sniper, or an alarm clock to remind you to bid - but a Laptop equipped with WiFi, a few banana peels, and a long straight-away could combine to get you to the exact moment in time to snipe the item. Once you place your bid, you can just go back in time and forget about the item.
Other than that, why would you ever want to time travel?
The eBay listing is certainly worth a look.
Oh - and to everybody searching for eBay / PayPal Codes for May / June… There aren’t any that I’ve been able to find. They don’t constantly have them out… they only have codes for certain months of the year. (After all, this is PayPal we are talking about!)

wher did it go?
Universal studios must not have liked it being too close to the original…
or it when off in time.

My favorite story about Deloreans was when my roommate’s brother saw one advertised in the newspaper and called up to ask if it had a flex copacitor. A kid answered the phone on the other end and relayed the question to his dad, who told him to just hang up the phone like that was a question he had been getting all day. That’s what you get for owning a delorean in the first place.
