Where did you get the price being 250K Yesterday it was no higher then 25K
One is on ebay as we speak for a bin around that and one is owned
by a fellow over at net 54 that appraised it at 20k.
Lucky lady. Almost gave it away on ebay.

Good for you.

More than likely from this: " She does have a history of being lucky, though, having once won $250,000 on a slot machine."

So is this thing actually up for bid yet? Just curious as to what it'll actually fetch. Also, I'm a little surprised they'll be listing it back on eBay. You'd figure one of the big auction houses would be beating down her door for this.

Not sure if it's the exact same article, but the article yesterday said she was from Fresno.

It's $250K now because Yahoo is now featuring the article on Yahoo now and having a $250000 price instead of $25K will get lots more hits.

All that info is in the original thread.
She put it on Ebay for 10.00 and a gazzillion vultures contacted her telling her to sell it
to them offline.
The rest is history.
