Last Sky Commuter For Sale On eBay

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the still-waiting dept.

DeltaV900 writes to alert us to an auction on eBay of the last Sky Commuter concept car. About 7 hours remain in the auction and the top bid at this writing is $55,100. The seller (with some help from posters in the auction forum) makes clear that the thing won't actually fly, and in fact never did. Other Sky Commuters may have hovered. This one traveled around to air shows and trade fairs.

      Why bother? He's clearly selling it as a parts car for people trying to repair their regular flying car.

    Yet another item from the bitter Jetson divorce.

    The other option is the one that I practice with my current ground car.. I keep my eye on the fuel gauge and fill up when it gets low.

    Seriously, can't we assume just a *little* bit of intelligence on behalf of the driver? Oh, wait, we're talking about Americans aren't we.

    No... an A-- is what you give when the package you receive from eBay only contains a bobcat.
