How much could missing a letter out cost you? In the case of this unfortunate it was $503,000!

First link is his initial listing, the second is the guy who bought it and re-listed it. Ouch!

whoops!

just went and looked at all of the guy who bought then sold its items (collectordan) and he collects lots of old war stuff and cigar etc. He also had previously bought one of the bottle in worse condition for over $2000.

I carried on looking down and to my shame i found he has also bought a set of brand new BMW Z4 wheels LoL

DAMN!!!!!

lifechanging sum of money from a £150ish bargain, he clearly knew what he was buying and the seller clearly didnt realise what he was selling, otherwise he'd have put a reserve on!

lol. the bidding history was interesting too

Lucky fella if it was for real.

Seems odd the winning bidder has a history of buying 10-15 dollar items (all vinyl records by the looks of it) and suddenly has half a million dollars to play with. Looks quite fishy

I agree, I think it's a fake. If you paid that amount of money would you not want some feedback

Either way, the history on that bottle of grog is amazing.

That must be pretty potent by now lol :P

Unlucky initial seller lol :D

i hadnt looked at the selling history, but there's a hell of a lot of cases of hacked eBay accounts lately!
