“It’s the first time I haven’t had a surfboard since I was ten years old, but I need a laptop so I checked the listing and the seller’s rating,” he said. “I was excited about winning the auction and just thought, I’ve got a laptop so I can start the business.”An eBay spokesperson said,
“I sold my pride and joy for a piece of paper,” he also added.
