Auction Missile Crisis

I'm just a sucker for eBay stories.

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A British man trying to sell a deactivated
Soviet-era missile on eBay was forced to delete it after Web site staff
contacted him for breaching company rules.

But eBay told Richard Moore, from Cambridgeshire, to remove the missile
because he broke eBay regulations by listing it alongside its vehicle launcher,
which should have appeared as a separate item -- and not because it was a
weapon.

The online auctioneer bans the sale of any ammunition, replica guns or
firearms on its sites.

Selling demilitarized missiles however is acceptable, an eBay spokesman
said.

This version of the story has pictures.
