Post Buy a PS2, get $90,000.
That got you clicking real fast didn't it . No, this is actually a news story... read it right quick:

Quote:
A British teenager who bought a Sony PlayStation 2 on eBay for £95 ($194) got more than he bargained for when he opened the package. Instead of a shiny, happy gaming console, there was a whole heap of euros - €65,400 ($90,000) to be precise—stacked neatly inside. A spokesman for eBay said that the parcel's contents were "somewhat unusual," but that they would help the police in any way they could.

When the parcel arrived, on March 20, the boy's parents contacted the Norfolk Constabulary, who are now holding the money under the Proceeds of Crime Act. If the owner does not come forward by September 22, then the family can apply to have the cash returned to them—unless the police apply to hold onto the money for a longer period. [BBC]
God, I would have hid that money so fast. I have no idea why he let his parents see that. I really hope he gets to keep the money, the police certainly don't need it.

Amazing . I wish I could give back most of the stuff I have purchased on eBay. $90,000 would be pretty hard to let go of though.

I would definatly have hid the money. I would have maybe tried to contact the seller, but if he didn't get me back it would be mine.

I'd have been scared of the seller, would think he/she/they would be out for blood after losing that much, probably not a good idea to try and contact them. .

...That's insane.

Hey bud, yeah, it has been awhile. I've been pretty good. Lots of schoolwork at the moment though, I barely have any time for anything at the moment. Congratulations on becoming part of the site squad.

What about yourself? How are things?
