Rumor has it that Hans Franke may have mentioned these words:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3033449003&ca…
Well, to me this looks more like the usual EBay problem with ',' and '.'
Remember, in Europe, the floating point is a comma. So I assume that
guy was just entering 10,00 Dollar, which got converted to 10,000.00
I had this already twice happening and instead of entering 4 Euro 50,
(4,50) I suddenly had 4500 Euros as bid. This part of ebay is quite
faulty.
Prolly not in this case, Hans. Notice lower on the page, the guy wants $330
USD just for the *postal insurance* - who'd pay that for a $10 USD computer?
Who's got an extra 10+ kilobucks to start bidding on it to find the
reserve??? :-P ;-)
Prost,

What do you do when Life gives you lemons,
and you don't *like* lemonade?????????????
I had to laugh
at the seller's comment "...Must Sell. Low Reserve."
