Thumbs up Miracles do happen :)

One month ago, we bid on a Sony PRS 505 at Tradera, the swedish equivalent to ebay. We lost that auction. Why? My dad, who is pro when it comes to buying stuff on Tradera, decided to go and have a beer with his friends , and I didn't remember my login name ( bad of me, I know, but he had assured me that he would do the bidding).

I was so disappointed at him and at myself. But after awhile, I calmed down and started to look at other e-readers, because I figured the next auction would several months away. I was wrong. A couple of days ago he called me, and I admit I had a sense of deja vu.

He had found another Sony PRS 505 for sale at Tradera. Turns out it was the same e-reader, when my dad contacted the seller and asked why he sold it, the seller said that he had bought it "for fun." ( Who spends 230 euro on a e-reader, just for fun?! ) Anyway, this time, my dad was home, and I was logged in. And, yeah, we won the auction at 1825 SEK, which equals 182 euro. That's half the prize that Sony Center Stockholm sold it for!
