Default Just when you thought you've seen it all...

Hey everyone...just saw this on ebay, I think it more of a joke than anything else...he does say the engine is not included though....

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ROCKET-PONY_W0QQ...1QQcmdZViewItem

Take a look before ebay pulls it!


Definately good for a laugh!

I've heard of a horse's arse before but this takes the cake...

I wonder... if the bid reaches $10 if the 'special surprise that comes with me' might be the $800 already built and poorly painted Saturn V model mentioned last week... LOL

Yall have a good one! OL JR

Maybe he means if the bidding reaches $10 he'll throw in a launch lug or some rail guides. At least that way you can watch the stable flight of the pony for at least six feet before it becomes the "Chase Everyone All Around The Field Little Pony".

Launch it?

I figured you just light it, and watch it dance around & such..

Add a Barbie doll for 'live rodeo action"

The "ejeciton" would be worth a laugh or two..

So *why* is he selling it on eBay Canada?

The opening line from Strange Brew: "It's the future, eh?"


Wondering how close the Rocket Pony guy *really* lives to me,

This is one of the reasons why I have never bought anything off of eBay.
