    He should be forced to buy the car and pay for it out of his allowance and made to drive it non-stop until he hates cars forever;) J/K

    I was helping my 2 girls look on eBay for some collector Brats dolls ($50.00 each via Buy It Now) and had to go to the bathroom and didn't log out. Next day I had an invoice for $100.00 plus shipping. Luckily it was close to Christmas.

    I wonder how long it would take him to pay it off? I guess that depends on what the standard child labour wages are...

    Kids these days.
    We didn't have ebay when I was little. Waybe that's why I didn't have all the toys I wanted.

    I'm going to try this trick tomorow with my mother. I allways wanted a exotic car.

    Haha, that's hilarious. Did the "mom" get out of buying the car or was she obligated to purchase it?

    no, the seller apparently saw the humour in it and dropped the sale. Apparently he had a hacker of an infant as well, so he was empathetic

    You have to be extra careful with children.They cannot be under estimated these days.But when such mistakes happen, it is not the childs fault but the person who allowed the child to act unknowingly.
