sscotty727 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Just saw this funny story on yahoo news. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060926/od_nm/life_boy1_dc_1 Three-year-old buys pink convertible on Internet Tue Sep 26, 7:31 AM ET 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 whizz 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...
sendra45 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 It is a bit of a problem, I have set this machine up with passwords and profiles so that my little girl can do as she wishes when we log her on. I quite often watch shoes and boots in my sizes on ebay, it would be a real shame if she bought them without me Knowing...................................... Hang on, I think I have found a way to swell my collection of heels and get away with it! I will let you all know if it works. Nigel The angels have the phonebox.

Did the car come equipted with kiddie peddals or extra big blocks for the controls? Keep on stepping, Guy N. Heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
