What a bummer
From Shankly to Brendan we follow our team, Rome to Istanbul we've all lived the dream. Our journey is long, our goal stays the same, to keep for our children the famous red name.

I bet the bloke who bought it for $304 is pissing himself.
Has anyone thought to PM the first seller to inform him of his mistake?

Interesting tale of capitalism at its finest! :D  Tempting as it is to chalk it up to a spelling error, it seems to me that the second fella got so much more because he took the care to market it properly.  For instance, the first guy says "accompanied by a hand written note" (by whom?  Him? :D ) while the second guy actually transcribes the note.  I might just use this example in my class to teach students the value of going that extra step in their research and writing! :nod

Yes, it looks like he didn't realise what he was actually selling or at least the true value of it, or it could just be one of the best cases of opportunism ever. Either way all credit to the second guy.
