Synopsis* (possible spoiler alert)


Growing up, Evan Treborn and his friends, Lenny Kagan and Kayleigh Miller, and Kayleigh's brother Tommy, suffered many severe psychological traumas that frequently caused Evan to experience amnesia. These traumas include being forced to take part in child pornography by Kayleigh and Tommy's father, George Miller; being nearly strangled to death by his institutionalized father, Jason Treborn, who is then killed in front of him by guards; accidentally killing a mother and her infant daughter while playing with dynamite with his friends; and seeing his dog, Crockett, burned alive by Tommy.

Some time later, while entertaining a girl in his college dorm room, Evan discovers that when he reads from his adolescent journals, he can time travel and redo parts of his past. His time-traveling episodes account for the frequent blackouts he experienced as a child since those are the moments that his adult self occupied his consciousness. After a traumatized Kayleigh kills herself, he travels back in time and convinces George to never touch her. He comes back to a reality where he and Kayleigh are a happy couple living in college. However, in this reality, George took out his frustrations in Tommy, who grew to be even more unhinged. Tommy eventually attacks Evan, who kills him in a fit of rage and goes to prison for it. There, he manages to travel back to when Tommy was going to kill his dog and stops him from doing so, but Lenny, who is bullied by Tommy and has become mentally unstable after the dynamite accident, kills the boy. Evan wakes up in a reality where Lenny has been institutionalized and Kayleigh has become a drug-addicted prostitute. He now travels back and stops the woman and her daughter from being killed with the dynamite, but is himself caught up in the explosion. In the new reality, Lenny and Kayleigh are a happy couple and Tommy has become religious, but Evan is a double amputee and his mother developed lung cancer after becoming a
chain-smoker due to Evan's condition. To save his mother and himself from such a fate, Evan goes back to before the explosion to try and get rid of the dynamite, but accidentally kills Kayleigh in the process.

Evan wakes up in a mental hospital and finds that, in this reality, the journals do not exist and his brain has suffered irreversible damage (the assimilation of dozens of years' worth of new memories from the alternative timelines causes him progressively worsening brain lesions). At one point, Evan has a conversation with a doctor who reveals that his father had the same abilities before losing the photographs (in the new reality) that allowed him to time jump, causing everyone to believe him to be crazy (he tried to kill Evan when he realized his son inherited his curse). Evan ultimately reaches the conclusion that he and his friends will never have good futures as long as he keeps altering the past.

After escaping the hospital staff and barricading himself in an office, Evan travels back one final time, via the use of an old home-movie, to the day he first met Kayleigh as a child. He intentionally upsets her so that she and Tommy will choose to live with their mother in a different
neighbourhood, instead of with their father when they divorce. As a result, they are not subjected to a destructive upbringing, do not grow up with Evan, Lenny is never bullied, and all go on to have happy, successful lives. Evan awakens in a college dorm room, where Lenny is his roommate. As a test, he asks where Kayleigh is, to which Lenny responds "Who's Kayleigh?" Satisfied that his friends' futures are secure, Evan burns his journals and videos to avoid altering the timeline ever again.

Eight years later in New York City, Evan exits an office building and passes Kayleigh on the street. Despite a brief look towards each other, they both keep walking

.


Payment


Please pay for your purchase within 7 days, or the sale will be cancelled and the item automatically relisted. As a courtesy, a generic payment reminder will be sent after 
4 days.


Feedback Policy


I sell tangible goods - NOT feedback. For this reason, I do not leave feedback for buyers, and never have done. I use the automated feedback system which eBay provides sellers. It is triggered to leave a positive rating and a random comment (from a list of 10 saved comments) upon receipt of positive feedback from the buyer - or in simpler terms, at the conclusion of the transaction. 

If you're expecting feedback prior to the conclusion of the transaction, or if you expect personalised rather than generic comments, please be prepared for disappointment. 
Any/all message requests for feedback will either receive a generic reply, or be ignored completely.

So the bottom line is; don't expect feedback, don't be a feedback beggar, and your feedback score will automatically increase by one after you complete the transaction. If you disagree with my feedback policy, please find an alternate seller.


Terms of Sale (the fine print)


Unfortunatelya certain undesirable element has made the inclusion of these terms a necessity. They are as follows;

  1. By bidding, buying or making an offer, you agree that you have read the listing in its entirety - including these terms. You acknowledge understanding all content, and confirm complete agreement with same.

  2. All of my listings have preferences set to automatically decline unrealistic offers. I'm not in the habit of giving things away, so please keep it real.

  3. Sending ridiculously low counter offers (lowballing) will result in you being blocked immediately. If you seriously think I will entertain an offer of $2.50 for a $425.00 item, I suggest you seek help for your condition. Perhaps unassisted online shopping isn't an appropriate activity for you.

  4. While on the subject of blocking, if you wish to make an offer, please use the tools provided by eBay. If you try to circumvent the system by messaging me with an offer, you will be reported for trying to trade outside of eBay, and voilĂ ... you're blocked.

  5. Estimated delivery times are just that - an estimate. They are provided by eBay, and have nothing whatsoever to do with either the delivery service provider or the seller.

  6. Postage star ratings for all items are in relation to the seller's handling time. As in, how long it takes them to post the item after receiving your payment. You are rating the seller - NOT the delivery service provider. Sellers have no control over delivery times for Australia Post, Aramex, DHL, or any other chosen shipping company. If you wish to rate their service, please visit their respective website. Using the eBay feedback system to rate a seller's handling time, based on the level of service you were provided by a third party, is not only unfair, it's highly inappropriate.

  7. At the time of dispatch, you will receive an email advice with an attached photograph of the item as it went out the door. While items are dispatched at all hours of the day and night, in most cases they are generally not picked up until some time between 8am and 6pm on the following business day (usually around noon, but times vary).

  8. Different screen resolutions may alter colours on different devices.

  9. Any measurements given are done by hand, and therefore approximate. Please allow for a variation of anywhere up to 10 - 20mm

  10. My home is smoke free, but not pet free. While all care is taken, the possibility still remains of static electricity causing lint, thread, plastic or even a stray hair to cling to packaging items. If there's even the slightest chance you may find this offensive, please do not purchase this item.

  11. Upon entry of the UPC number, item specifics are auto-filled by the eBay system. These system generated product details overwrite manual entries, and may, or may not be accurate.

  12. The grading system used on my listings is provided by eBay. For console game discs, CDs and DVDs, it is as follows;


    Disc Condition

    Scratching/Marking

    Rating

    Brand New

    N/A

    N/A

    Like New

    Blemish Free

    Very Good

    Anywhere between Light and Medium

    Good

    Anywhere between Medium and High

    Acceptable

    Anywhere between High and Extreme



    All
     items are graded based on whichever category applies best to the item. As an example, an item listed as "Good" condition, doesn't mean it is in good condition. It means it is the grading (as the second lowest), which best applies to the item. If you disagree with the grading system implemented by eBay and used in this listing, please do not buy this item.

  13. When an item is described as used, that means it is used. All known defects, blemishes or imperfections are noted in the listing. If you are wanting a new item, please buy one. Do not buy a used item and expect something brand new to be delivered - especially for $3.00 with free postage.

  14. If something is described as having medium to high level scratching, expect it to have medium to high level scratching. Complaining that your item showed up scratched when that is exactly how it was described casts serious doubt on your character and/or intelligence. Once again, if you are after a blemish free item, please buy it new.

  15. Used CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs are checked for defects under warm light, cool light and natural light. They are then tested on a Laser BLU-BD4000 Blu-ray player, while console games are tested on the relevant gaming console. Due to varying levels of sensitivity between playback units, what works without fault on my test equipment may not work properly on your personal setup. I am not responsible for the quality or functionality of your hardware, and am in no way at fault if the disc doesn't function correctly in your system.
    Please Note: There is a known sensitivity issue with LG - DV582H DVD players.

  16. In the unlikely event of something going wrong, you agree to contact me first before taking any other action. You agree to assist me with any investigation by providing any/all requested information as soon as possible.

  17. All items above $15.00 in value, and all items larger than a letter will be shipped with tracking.

  18. To avoid damage in transit, all items are packaged in a professional manner for shipping. This is NOT negotiable. Any requests for modifications to packaging practices will be declined. Not only do I know what I'm doing, but I don't tell you how to do your job - so don't tell me how to do mine!

  19. Just because an item is listed as "free postage" does not mean that postage is free. It is not. It means that the postage cost is factored into the sale price, and borne by the seller. Any refunds provided will have the actual postage and packaging charges, along with all applicable fees deducted from the refund amount you are given.

  20. Never assume. If you find any missing or incomplete information in a listing, please ask for further details. I'm always only too happy to help out whenever I can, and would appreciate the opportunity to revise the listing.

  21. My hours of operation vary each day, but I am generally available during the following Sydney times;


    Day

    Hours

  23. Finally, if you don't agree with all of the above, please find another seller.
