This guy might never have to work again. can you believe it $100,000.00

Wish my name was Mike Rowe and I had a web site.
 
This it not right...who would want to spend that much on something so silly? Was it signed by Bill Gates, himself....I'm sorry I just can't see the value in this.

Bidding is at $10,000,000 US

Ok this is a joke, no one would spend this much on this, kinda funny.
 
So what does ebay do when it gets out of hand and it really is an item that someone wants to buy?

Can he go ahead and try and sell it again if this one defaults?

Now that's a really interesting thought...but what could be in there that they don't want public? And what's keeping Mike Rowe from publishing stuff from the copy he's keeping?

f*** the memories. take a picture of you holding the book and sell the other one. 400,000 grand. buy yourself a car, and some other stuff and put the rest in the stock markey and this guy will be set before he gets out of high school. thats what he should of asked for, instead of a lousy xbox he should have asked for stock options.

Well, it's down to 202k now. The 10 mil had to have been a joke.

I am surprised that M$ would not require nondisclosure of the terms of the agreement. Pretty standard in cases like this.

Not that I am a fan of M$, I hope the kid gets nothing in the end. And I hope that M$ gives nothing to thieves like this.

The kid had my support initially. I even sent a note to M$. I have since followed up with an apology . since for this kid it was always about the money. Despite what he has said.

If it weren't about the money he could have put a "fair" Buy It Now price. I guess the saving grace is that the kid is in canada. i never have to worry about him running for US office.

Wow, that was a ride :D

Now all bids have to be pre approved....

Oh well, he'll be lucky to get that 10k now...
