a few days ago a friend of mine told me about this amazing couch he had found on eBay .... he has been looking for big quality couch for years
as I am the alleged eBay expert I had to go over to his place to give an opinion
the couch listing is for a Ralph Lauren sofa and says it retails for around $20,000 ............ we checked out the RL website and yes that is correct and the photos in the listing look kosher to me
so he was prepared to go to $3000
now he is a school teacher and was in class when the listing was due to end so I was keeping and eye on it
at 45 minutes to go he was still the top bidder with $2675
I checked again at 32 and the listing had ended ........... ???????? ............ my mate was still the highest bidder
when he gets out of class he checks his ebay to find, yahoo!!!! he's won it ............. he calls me all excited and unaware that the item was pulled early
I tell him but he does not seem to understand or care because he has won it for less then $3000
now just to add to the saga the couch is in Melbourne and he is an hour north of Sydney
