Somebody sold an old bottle of beer for $304 but failed to spell the title correctly - omitting a second 'P' from the brewers name - Allsopps. The buyer of the item then went on to relist it with a correct title and a it more detail - it sold for $503,300!!!

The original seller must be GUTTED!!!

This proves the need to research your items properly...

I linked to the google cache of the page, thinking it would remain visble for longer. Added the original links now

Thankyou

Imagine how bad the original seller must have felt knowing he's lost out on that much. Doesn't bare thinking about.

The buyer didn't pay!!!!!!!!!!!

Rather tense feedback left between the buyer and seller of the $500k sale!

I guess a second chance offer will have been started, or at least the seller got their fees back from the NPB dispute. Anyone calculated what they would have been?
