Spend £95 Receive £44,000!

Believe it or not that is what happened to a 16 year old boy who thought he was getting a bargain when he bought a PS2 on E-bay for £95. When his PS2 arrived he opened the box to discover the PS2 minus the games that he was told would come with it but in their place was 65,400 euros (approx £44,000) His parents have passed the money on to police and so far no one has claimed it.

The police have been given until September by Magistrates to hold the money, and then the case will go to court where the family can legally claim the money back under the Police Property Act.

Ebay have commented on the incident "We know that eBay is a great place to pick up a bargain, although in this case, we agree that the contents of the parcel were somewhat unusual and we will assist with any inquiries the police may wish to make."

What a bargain, and how great would it be if nobody claims the money and the boy gets to keep it, I want to know who he bought the PS2 from and if the seller has any more for sale :)
