Boy bids nearly £200,000 for a Wii on eBay

We’ve all heard about numerous stories about how desperate some people are in obtaining their Wii consoles, but how about buying two? Archie Lovett, a young boy, logged onto his grandfather’s eBay account and bid close to £200,000 on a Wii console. However, the child already had a Wii of his own. Luckily, the seller was very understanding of the situation and did not put up a fuss. “We have seen the funny side of this, but I have told Archie he cannot do it again,” said his grandfather. “It does show how clever he is.”
The funny thing about this whole story is that wasn’t the first time young Archie took control over his family’s eBay accounts. Time to put some parental controls on all of the computers!
