I've just been ripped off £30,100. How do I feel? I don't really know...

Why can some people be so immature to bid an extraordinarily large amount of money for something on Ebay? I am of course talking about the Banana. It was going well at £4.55 for a while, then some idiot decided to ruin the whole thing and bid £30 grand for it. I'm not sure exactly what happened then, but it's generally agreed that this high amount of money triggered something in Ebay's system which got them to check what was being sold, and when they found out that it was a banana they decided to pull the auction.
They told me that they do not allow 'joke auctions' or 'items that are not for sale'.

I beg your pardon Mr Ebay, but this item was not a joke, and it was for sale. When the auction was to end tomorrow lunchtime, I would ask the person who won to send me the money, then I would send them the banana. Of course, I wouldn't mind too much if they didn't cough up, but that shouldn't make much of a difference really, should it?

I have replied to Ebay telling them this (well, some of it anyway), and I am awaiting a reply. I do not see why I should suffer the loss of £4.55 (or £30 grand) just because of some prat who doesn't know a bargain when he sees one.

Anyway... I would like to give my appreciation to Tom who informed the Inquirer of this item, and of course Mike Magee for actually putting it on his infamous IT news website. Jamie's attempts of advertising this weren't really worth it, but I guess I'll let him off. His heart was in the right place, even if his attempts were a bit crap.

As for the person who bidded £30,100 for this - I'd like to see you put your money where your mouth is... either that or say that if you really want a banana that bad, all you have to do is go to your local supermarket. There's plenty of bananas there, and cheaper too.

That is all

lol
think about the fees ebay would have collected on this auction.
