|
|
Jack Neal briefly became the proud owner of a pink convertible car after he managed to buy it for 9,000 pounds ($17,000) on the Internet despite being only 3 years old.
Jack's mother told the BBC that she had left her password for the eBay auction site in her computer, and her son used the "Buy It Now" option to complete the purchase.
"Jack's a whiz on the PC and just pressed all the right buttons," Rachel Neal said.
The seller of the second-hand car, a dealer from Worcestershire, central England, was amused by the bid and agreed not to force the sale through.
"Luckily, he saw the funny side and said he would readvertise," Neal said.
