Hasta la vista college fund: get your own homemade Terminator bot on eBay

No movie buff's home theater would be complete without this here handmade Terminator sculpture. It looms a menacing six and a half feet high and is made entirely from old car parts. The bids on eBay Europe are up to £3,000 (around $1,800), shipping not included (though we shudder to think how much that's going to set us back). Ominous glowing red eyes, Skynet, and human slaughtering movement are also not part of the deal. Too bad really, since we sorta had this hankering to build our own giant robot army.

[Update]
so we managed to type 1,000 pounds into our handy online converter, thus coming up with a completely incorrect converted price.  the proper price in dollars is about $5,400

your � to $ conversion is wrong. (god bless alt-156)

GBP 3000 = USD 5400. Which will be meaningless once our new undead zombie overlords bless us with their benevolent rule.

�3000 is closer to $5500

I've built a real T1 in my garage and I think I'm almost done because it killed my cat. I'll let you have it for free if you come get it but you might need to get it to follow you into an industrial press... God help me.. what have I created?

#1 like everyone else said, 3000 pounds is way more than $1800, and it's not 'up' to anything because that's the starting price--nobody has bid.

Good home security system?
