Mike Rochip Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 LONDON (Reuters) - Jack Neal briefly became the proud owner of a pink convertible car after he managed to buy it for 9,000 pounds ($17,000) on the Internet despite being only three years old. Jack's mother told the BBC she had left her password for the eBay auction site in her computer and her son used the "buy it now" option to complete the purchase. "Jack's a whiz on the PC and just pressed all the right buttons," Rachel Neal said. The seller of the second-hand car, a dealer from Worcestershire, central England, was amused by the bid and agreed not to force the sale through. "Luckily he saw the funny side and said he would re-advertise," Neal said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Sounds like bulls**t. Sounds like she was dumb and clicked wrong, or regretted herself, then blamed it on her kid. A 3 year old kid, doesn't even know what a password is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted September 27, 2006 Moderators Share Posted September 27, 2006 Sounds like bulls**t. It does! She's lucky the car wasn't owned by someone in the RIAA, because she'd be the owner of the car or sued into owning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 It does! She's lucky the car wasn't owned by someone in the RIAA, because she'd be the owner of the car or sued into owning it. And if she died, her children would be forced to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
