Also noticed a couple of old EVA suits (and what might or might not be a
spare Soyuz joystick) last time I looked.
Sort of surprised these are still bubbling up on eBay.
Quite reasonably priced for a rocket engine, that... oh, wait,
"Dimensions:
Diameter is from 70 to 90 mm.
Height is 70 cm.
Weight is 7 kg."
It seems that what is being sold is not the whole engine that is
depicted in the first photo, but one small part of it, in particular
the part depicted in subsequent photos. I don't think it could be
literally the "afterburner", since I don't think rockets don't have
those; perhaps it's the combustion chamber liner for the preburner.
