Seven-year-old boy buys fighter jet on eBay

"Thanks to eBay, a seven-year-old London boy managed to purchase a real-life Harrier fighter jet. It was easy: All he had to do was click on a bright "buy it now" button on the auction site, send a payment of about $113,000, and he'd be ready to live out every young man's fantasy. There was just one problem: He didn't have the money — and his dad found out about his shopping spree."

 

An object lesson in not leaving your eBay account open when you have to leave the room and the kids are around!

 

PS: You have to love the eBay standard boilerplate for CONDITION:

 

Used: An item that has been previously used. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. This item may be a floor model or shop return that has been used. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.

And I about crapped when my kid (before he could read) was one click away from confirming the bid on a very pricy pair of M1943 pants when he just wanted to look at it better!
