520438 2007-01-30 04:56:00 So a charity gets to make some money by auctioning off a pice of Dan Carter signed hardware. What's the problem with that? So someone slipped up when entering it and put 2MB not GB (which appears now to have been changed).

Gee, Greg you really need to look up curmudgeon in the dictionary and then take a look in the mirror .....

I agree with Bruce. Pretty damn small minded of you Greg. That charity needs all the help it can get.

But I'm a curmudgeon? Fine.

Better that than have the ignorance of someone who blithely accepts the lack of proffesionalism of an organisation promoting what could be a good earner for a worthwhile charity.

Fair point. They weren't really maximising their return on investment. You're still a curmudgeon though, if only because its my new favourite word.

Are the bidders and the question askers the same people?
