my dad just bidded for presumably 5 sony vaio laptops.

The description was Sony Vaio laptop £150 2.6ghz NEW YEAR STOCK
So we ordered 5 and the e-mail confirmed it

Underneath it was chatting about a book for £4.00 saying about these seizure gov't auctions

Have we done the right thing and will we actually get the laptops?

Cheers

I saw a bid for a link to a cheap (i.e £100) brand new Super PhoneTM, at about £110 once.

When in the shops it costs about £200.

You deserve money if you find people so stupid they actually think they can get Laptops for £4.

Yep, the person who set up the auction, the crafty git, can sit back and collect £100 from some idiot.

If only I had a credit card number...

No you can't sue for your stupidity.

You simply didn't read the auction properly.

Monkey.
