It's simple ... Ben accidentally supplied an incorrect link to an Ebay auction, with the intent of instilling a bit of humor (which seems to have failed with some) ... and he then sent a corrected link which worked fine. In case you missed the point of his post, with great worry over the horrors and injustice of a bad link, here it is the good one:
http://ebay.com/
...and if that doesn't work for some reason, try Ebay item #3695408313.

Agreed. Worthless link. What kind of forum not only won't allow one to view a page without registering but will also spam you with popups? Why not just describe what it is and post a link to a photo (hint: URL ends in .jpg) and save us all the bother?
