Those people's assets should be seized and used for dying children in developing countries.

How else did they get it? Someone earned it.

But I am disgusted that they would spend their money so abhorantly.

Honestly- they must have inherited it. Becuase if they had the brains to make that money they'd probably have the brains to realise that having it a few days early is a real waste.

PS. Did you know that the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the poorest 48 nations (i.e. a quarter of the world’s countries) is less than the wealth of the world’s three richest people combined?

That isn't real. People are screwing around with false bids. The transactions won't be completed.

Look at the bid retraction history. Three people have already cancelled their 100 million dollar bids. They're just desperate victims of marketing like all the rest who lined up outside of stores.

I don't believe this will be payed, 100.000.000 USD is simply too much money.

very true. even best buy (a stupid US store) opens 3 hours early for PS3.

if this was even anywhat real, ebay would revoke this sale to keep them from bankruptcy if the item was lost or anything about it.

what if they lost it in shipping??? 100 mil down the toilet.

it is a real auction. any bid with a bidder who has (not a registered user) next to their name made a fake bid and had their account deleted. actual biding stopped at around $5000

It's not so much working with computers as it is tricking them into doing what you want them to do.

I'd rather spend that ammount of money on upgrading some aspect of my computer. That's about $1200 here. I could get quite a few things for that. That, or one graphics card xD.
Ignore the extra d, please.
