Fake artillery won't be on e-bay long!

George makes an interesting point about ebay's operations, but with reference to the artillery, this is their stated policy about listing guns;

"Firearms: Firearms cannot be listed on eBay's core or storefront sites. Firearms include all "pre-ban," sporting, collectible, curio & relic (C&R), and antique firearms, regardless of their capability to fire a shot. Any item that is designed to propel a metal (or similar) projectile is covered by this ban, regardless of that item's present ability to fire."

So, functional or not, it shouldn't be on there. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the restriction should be there to start with, but they need to be consistent.
