Future History Artifacts

Marty McFly's hoverboard from Back To The Future II and yeah, it's up for sale on eBay for a whopping starting price of $30,000:

It is in used but outstanding condition, and is very rare in that it is entirely complete and intact. Given the wood build and use of metal components, it looks and feels like a "real" prop. This piece has the complete fully functional and rear ballbearing-mounted footpad that rotates 360 degrees, as well as the bottom "magnet plates". Of the two styles of stickers used for the effects, this prop has the "photoboard"-style sticker affixed. In addition, there is other textured styling and hand painting. This Hoverboard also features the hole in the top, representing where the handlebars were that "Marty" pulled off after borrowing the "toy" from the little girl in the film.

I would've eagerly sold my soul to the devil himself to get my hands on that thing when that movie first came out. I can remember having dreams about owning a hoverboard. That may be one of the coolest "future gadgets" in movie history.

It single-handedly made #2 my favorite of the 3.

I must have this. James, can I borrow $30,000?

Interesting that you three had such a strong reaction to this post; very generational.
