There's a Russian fighter jet up for sale on eBay, but if you miss this one, that sellers got a couple more stashed away that he'll be glad to sell to you. Arsik1950 who has sold one item on eBay, listed the MiG 21F aircraft at just over $20,000, and the winning bid at the moment is $26,600. Not bad for an aeroplane, I hear you say, but this one doesn't fly any more. It's a one cabin “demilitarizated” fighter from the USSR that, in its heyday, could reach 1385mph.

Colorado snow bought on eBay arrives in Connecticut
This winter has brought record-high temperatures and only scattered flurries across southern New England, but snow finally hit this shoreline town on Saturday.
It didn't come from the sky.
Mary and Jim Walker, of Loveland, presented about 30 snowballs to the Hansen family of Milford on the city green, after family patriarch Chris Hansen bought them from the Walkers on eBay for $200.

Sundance cracks down on ticket reselling on Ebay
Desperate for tickets to see your favorite stars at their Sundance Film Festival premiere? EBay may be the answer — or not.
Sundance officials say they are scanning the online auction site and cracking down on ticket sales. Reselling tickets online is prohibited.
The festival gives locals a shot at purchasing tickets before they go on sale nationally. More than 2,460 Utah residents were selected at random for a chance to buy up to 20 tickets each at the locals-only sale last weekend.
Two tickets to the first screening of Waitress, staring Keri Russell, sold for $385 on Saturday afternoon. About half an hour later, a second pair of Waitress tickets went for $255.
Sundance officials warn that tickets resold online can be remotely deactivated before the film's showing.
"We've contacted those sellers and informed them of our policy and what actions we are taking," said Patrick Hubley, festival spokesman. "I wouldn't advise people to buy tickets off of eBay or any other site," except for the official Sundance site, he said.
