Rarified Turbine Engine Hits eBay for $7,500
A rare opportunity has emerged for someone to own a functional turbine jet engine, and it's listed on eBay for $7,500. The Boeing T50 Turbine Jet Engine With Control is mounted on its own wheeled test stand with a 24-volt starter battery already wired in.
The seller, chanel-81, claims the unit is fully functional rather than a static display piece and has attached photos showing the engine's control wiring, fuel plumbing, and a battery box built into the base.
Despite being used, the engine appears to be in working condition, with the seller noting that additional parts and accessories are available separately for anyone who reaches out directly. Local pickup is free within 60 miles of the seller's Georgia ZIP code, though returns aren't accepted.
The listing on eBay Motors carries some risk, but chanel-81 has a clean track record with 100 percent positive feedback across 86 transactions since joining eBay in 2019.
