Radio Shack Selling Subway Cars on eBay

David Cantrell writes "The Radio Shack Corporation (formerly the Tandy Corporation) headquarters in Fort Worth, TX was one of the only companies in the world to have its own private subway system. Its main purpose in life was to move employees from their parked cars to the office building. About a year or so ago, Radio Shack decided the subway system was no longer needed and they shut it down permanently. Well, they are now selling the subway cars on eBay. For $5000US, you can get your very own Radio Shack Subway Car. Rails sold separately. Click for the eBay auction page."

    Are they going to insist I give them my phone number and try to sell me batteries with it?

    I am sorry to say that these so-called subway cars are fake. They are clean, with no graffiti. That is simply impossible.

    I like the nooses convienently placed above each seat, so if you have a sudden bout of realization that you work for Radio Shack, you can quickly put yourself out of your misery. That's a work-perk!

    However, the logistics involved in transporting a 40,000 lb subway car would probably make such a project impossible.

    I think your neighbours would probably make it even more impossible by killing you as soon as they found out what your intentions would to do to their property valuations

    Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth

    but 29,959 for the adapter, battery pack, and cleaning kit.

    It's their loss leader! Don't be fooled!

    Not to be a grammar nazi, but it was either the only or one of the few. It can't be in both states at once, unless subway cars are now in a state of quantum superposition, which, given their size, is doubtful.
