From our news:
It's likely that at some point during our lives, we look back at something and regret it highly. Of course, no one owns a De Lorean anymore, so we can't exactly go back in time to right our wrongs. Luckily, there is a great way to make yourself feel better about the past... look at the major mistakes of others. Such as one eBay seller.
Long story short, this one seller sold a very old bottle of liquor on eBay, not caring to actually proof-read the auction prior to posting. Thanks to that oversight, it sells for $300USD. Seems like a solid sale at first, however the buyer knew what the bottle was really worth. He re-listed the item on eBay a month later, and it ended just a few weeks ago at just over $500,000USD. It's an incredible item but an even more incredible profit.

This is a faint glimmer of hope for those aspiring to become internet brazillionaires. Some guy decides to sell a 200 year old bottle of ale but accidentally leaves out one “P” in the brand name. A lucky bargain hunter just happens to see the auction and –realizing the value of the bottle– spends a healthy $300 only to resell it for half a million a little later. Yeah, I’d be mad.
