A 7 year old buys a fighter jet on eBay

A young Englishman from London bought a fighter jet valued at 113,000 dollars on eBay. Aged 7 years, the young London who surfed on the auction site has become the proud owner of a Harrier fighter aircraft dating from 1973 and valued at 113,000 dollars (83,000 euros). The former unit of the Royal Air Force was not certified for flight and therefore could just serve as decorative objects. Having accidentally pressed "Buy Now", the error was quickly corrected by the father of the child. Jet Aviation Art Society which had submitted the bid was understanding and therefore annulled the sale. Following this unexpected publicity stunt, the auction soared during the delivery of online sales. "Ultimately, this child of 7 years has made us a great favor. Put the fighter up for sale again generated much more interest than expected, "said a spokesperson of Jet Aviation Art.
