eBay Auction Closing!

There are certainly plenty of stories that are associated with eBay and I enjoy reading them. I highlight some of the more interesting ones to share with readers and also for my own collection. Some are classic.

There was this guy who was caught speeding and as the police patrol booked him, he said that he was speeding because he had to rush home as an eBay auction was closing soon and he had to place his bid.

Ah... he should have gotten himself a laptop or mobile device and bid on the road. Or quite simply, just use automatic bidding. However, I do understand that not everyone likes to use automatic bidding. Heck, I don't like it because I like to decide at the last minute if I should bid or not, pay that higher price or not.

The really cute thing about him is that his car, which had been impounded, was filled with Star Wars memorabilia. Probably the item that he wanted to bid on also was Star Wars related.

I feel bad, even though this is quite funny, that he had been arrested. You know, you read about lots of crime in USA and you wonder if the police do anything. Well, this isn't the kind of guy they should be after, don't you think so?
