Some guy is Canada is selling a homemade jetpack via online classified ad for the low, low price of $500. Sure it'll kill you, but it's only $500!

Jet Pack -- Jumps You 10' in the Air


Handcrafted by myself Using Car and Airplane parts. I spent 15 years as a mechanic. Can Use for 2 High Jumps 10 feet in the air with a safe landing before overheating, takes about an hour to cool down after that.

weighs 53lbs, approx Camping backback in size , dull grey in color.

serious buyers only can test out on my property and of course watch me first for safety reasons and training.

Two ten-foot jumps and then you have to let the thing sit for an hour? No offense, but that sounds like some incredibly weak shit. Just sayin', you know what else costs $500, will jump you 10-feet in the air, and NOT require an hour between uses? Twelve pogo sticks.

Moo

2nd :D

4th?? This is how suicide bombers are marketing. By selling "jetpacks"

If it has to cool for an hour then what happens to your back in the mean time?? Melts off?

Instead of starting on the ground and jumping 10 feet in the air, could you jump safely off say... A 40 foot building?

It seems pretty awesome. I'd assume it's not quite finished (hence the cooling issues) But that can be fixed.

If i had 500 dollars and some Mechanical Engineering skill, I'd buy it.

My jet shoots about 10 feet and then needs an hour before it's ready to go again.

@8

Strap some leafblowers on your back and let us know.

pfft no shit, an hour to cool? You'll be dead by then after clearing the wall you've just jumped when it's time to leave

He mentions the cooling issue, but there's also the fireball issue.

i want one.

yeah, umm two ten-foot jumps?
what else will give you a minimum of two ten-foot jumps?

trampoline
super springy pogo stick
pole-vault pole
powerskips
jumping shoes
stilts
bottle rocket in the rectum
one set of SEARS jumper cables
a flea with the crabs
a crab with fleas
a flying trapeze

Ta-daa!

the only 10' jumping i want to do is to jump smoking girl, i dont think i could do it twice in under 3 hours though, my recharge sucks unless sucked on.

I'd still buy it.

I'd still be jumping 10' higher than you...

It wasn't a LED flash light , it was a lead FLeshlight, I like them heavy...

Not nearly as cool as the proton accelerator pack seen here.

actually, i can see two jumps being useful. one in and one out of somewhere fenced-in? or maybe from rooftop to rooftop?

During the time it takes to cool down, is it hot enough to use for cooking? This is more of a Jump Pack, I'd dig it if it got more repeat uses out of it. Can you Double Jump for a total of 20 feet? there are questions abound!

@20 Really? You'd bet your life on the Fisher Price jetpack?
Again, it's TEN FEET. How many other safe, lighter, cheaper, quieter options are there? No disrespect, the guy made something I couldn't make if he made it for me, but it needs a little work still to be practical.

I bet it shoots out confetti

Uh, it says they're $2500.....

That just makes it even worse!

@ 15

Dude, she's not reading this post. She HATES jet packs. Lost her virginity on one (long story short)......she never saw him again......alive.

Sorry everyone, SOLD!!!! I'm buying it!!

some guy is canada?

Just a heads up people, this is fake and the guy is trying to scam you in some way... He may ask for Western Union money or something... The item he's showing is a movie prop jetpack from Minority Report, he stole the image from here:

you can even still see the watermark on his listing photo...

@26 I love that my attitude gets under your skin enough for you to imposter my name. Seeing that you've done this twice now, can you at least put the same link I use in 'naas' so when someone that reads what you write as me might actually think I wrote it?

You have a better chance at looking like me when typing something as clever as "My name is naas and I'm gay lol" and let me tell ya that's sure going to bring me down

fashionable supra shoes

@29
Don't worry, buddy. I got this.

@26

Hi! I don't believe we've met. I'm Gordon and I like to flame people. I'm quite the "asshole" as I'm sure you are about to find. I also like pie and cookies. Both just happen to be euphemisms for pussy. Pussy. Funny. That's exactly what you are. Imposterisation is a technique only reserved for clearing out trolls. You have misused this powerful weapon.

You swine. You vulgar little maggot. Don't you know that you are pathetic? You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you.

You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you. You are a bloody nardless newbie twit protohominid chromosomally aberrant caricature of a coprophagic cloacal parasitic pond scum and I wish you would go away.

You're a putrescence mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.

You are a bleating fool, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.

I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?

If you aren't an idiot, you made a world-class effort at simulating one. Try to edit your writing of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.

You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.

You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.

And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?

You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.

On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.

I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.

The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

P.S.: You are hypocritical, greedy, violent, malevolent, vengeful, cowardly, deadly, mendacious, meretricious, loathsome, despicable, belligerent, opportunistic, barratrous, contemptible, criminal, fascistic, bigoted, racist, sexist, avaricious, tasteless, idiotic, brain-damaged, imbecilic, insane, arrogant, deceitful, demented, lame, self-righteous, Byzantine, conspiratorial, satanic, fraudulent, libelous, bilious, splenetic, spastic, ignorant, clueless, illegitimate, harmful, destructive, dumb, evasive, double-talking, devious, revisionist, narrow, manipulative, paternalistic, fundamentalist, dogmatic, idolatrous, unethical, cultic, diseased, suppressive, controlling, restrictive, malignant, deceptive, dim, crazy, weird, dystopic, stifling, uncaring, plantigrade, grim, unsympathetic, jargon-spouting, censorious, secretive, aggressive, mind-numbing, abrasive, poisonous, flagrant, self-destructive, abusive, socially-retarded, puerile, clueless, and generally Not Good.

wait only 5.00$?

Seriously, 1994 sent a fax over asking for people to stop typing in "1st" ad nauseam in forums. I can't even logically understand how or why this is STILL being done. Either the internet is truely just being discovered by a select few or a secret society of savants have agreed to pay homage to the days pre-dating 56k ad hocs and dwell every single forum in the whole web 3.1.2.9 uverse
