Former Lockheed Skunkworks Engineer Auctioning a Prototype "Spy Rock"

ilikenwf writes "For a cool $10,000,000.00, the prototype of a surveillance rock full of spy gadgets could be yours! More importantly, server backups from the gentleman's time at Lockheed are included, being the real valuable in this auction, as it contains schematics and such. The seller seems to think that the current xBee radio products are actually based on his work with Lockheed. The proceeds will go towards legal action the seller is apparently taking against his former employer." This may be the most unusual eBay product description I've ever encountered, and one of the most interesting, too.

    Does the rock also keep tigers away? Because if so, SOLD!

  2. Version 2.0 by scsirob · · Score: 4, Funny

    Something tells me that version 2.0 of these skunk-work projects will show up at your doorstep if you show serious interest in this offer.
