That’s right, a 7-year-old child from London stumbled upon an eBay listing for an EX RAF 4 Harrier Jump Jet priced at $113,000 (Buy-It-Now) and just couldn’t pass on the deal — and really, who doesn’t want one? Unfortunately, he expected his parents to pay for it. Swiftly after the purchase, the “boy’s dad called up Jet Art Aviation Limited, the company who had placed the jet on eBay, and explained the situation.” Click here for more pictures.
