Anyone care to share some of the stupid things they have seen on ebay?

I found this one quite funny : FLUX capacitor!!

And i couldn't help but to ask him a random question, wonder if he responds cheesey

Hi there. May I ask the specs of this flux capacitor - how many gauss/joules of energy does it store as well as its own parasitic inductance, which would inherently limit its peak discharge flux density, hindering increasingly further treks back in time. Could you also give me a quick summary into the quantum electrodynamic processes which govern its operation and its stability whilst in a quantum electrodynamic E field of intensities exceeding 100kEVm^-1?
Despite the seemingly forbidden operation of the flux capacitor by Gaussian and Maxwellian equations, could you please attach a comprehensive proof as you how you have bypassed such restrictions to produce a working(?) masterpiece? Please also outline how the quantised space-time fluctuations as predicted by the Heinsburg uncertainty principle are overcome.
Pictures of its operation would also greatly be appreciated.

IF you can answer all these questions,
I will happily bid on your item

Eagerly awaiting your reply,

Wilson

There always seems to be one or two stupid people on ebay making desperate attempts to make cash...

Yeah, I've started a collection of time machine/teleportation related pages from ebay that at some point I plan to feature on my site. They're hilarious!

I got a reply XD

we are all travelling through time right now! without having the answers to complex problems, sometimes the answer you are really searching for is irrelevant to everything else the world has shown you.


I think i saw a rubiks cube, on which a guy had written a lot of numbers/symbols, and attached a 3 page story to it....and was trying to sell his "priceless memorabilia" for $100US XD

Obviously, this guy is posting this listing as a joke and not as a serious attempt to make cash. So I ask you, who is more stupid? The guy
whose obvious intention is make a joke out of a ridiculous listing or the person who actually believes that same guy is actually trying
to make a few bucks from this listing. He was purposely looking for some responses to his joke, and you fell for it.

I think asking for parasitic inductance specs of this thing is also a joke...
