‘Clever’ Kid Bids £200,000 For Wii
Do you get excited by Wii? Not as much as five-year-old Archie Lovett in the UK it seems, who got onto his Grandfather’s eBay account, and promptly bid nearly £200,000 a secondhand console – more than 1,000 times above its retail price.
Gramps didn’t know anything about until he had an email from the seller asking for £197,654, who doubtless thought he had found a right mug. Oh how he must have cried as he let them back out of the deal.
What worries me is that both his mother and an eBay spokeswoman described the boy as ‘clever’. Which isn’t quite the word I’d use. Especially since he already has a Wii.
