The seller withdrew the auction shortly before its close-time. News of the auction reached some New Zealand newspapers, which ran a story on it. Currently this auction holds the record for the highest number of questions asked and answered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) I also liked the (hoax) one about the dolphins that someone had caught and were keeping in their swimming pool. That got some national attention as I remember. Cheers Grant Edited March 15, 2009 by Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
