I can beat that (I'm actually rather ashamed of this). A while ago I listed a cheapo Littlewoods
cycling computer, wireless thing that they sell retail for 15 quid. I started it at a fiver, the
bidding went to £41 and change. I thought someone was playing silly buggers but sure enough the
cheque arrived in the post a few days later. I felt ever so guilty cashing it, taking a fellow
cyclists money in that way but... *shrug*
To make me feel even worse the thing had only cost me something like £2.50. Bought it online from
Littlewodds when they were doing a "15 pounds off your first internet order!" promotion. They had
forgotten to specify a minimum spend and so it only cost me the postage.
