eBay member Prattesgirl has a feedback score of 29, and 100% positive feedback. Apparently those are the qualities, along with $131,700, that allowed her to buy the last Sky Commuter prototype test aircraft in existence yesterday after 82 nail-biting bids. If $131,000 seems a little pricey for this retro-futuristic airborne wonder, consider this: it cost Boeing $6 million in research and development costs back in the '80s before the project was discontinued, and Prattesgirl gets all of the research, as well as all rights, to the project as well as the vehicle itself for her money.
