TLC, ananova.com Hmmmm Mr "sh0rt1e", (possibly a remote connection somehow to "cousin shortie" ?) doesn't know how to handle women imho. He could use his money far more wisely, and get as many appropriate females without even a hundredth of the costs involved....sad... Will have to sell lots of tea shirts and cups to gather appropriate funds.-g- cafepress.com ========================================================= Internet bidding for wife ends at £1 billion Internet bidding for a Birmingham businesswoman auctioning herself as a wife has closed at £1 billion. Auction site QXL.com says it's unlikely the winning bid for Kay Hammond's hand in marriage is genuine. The 24-year-old managing director had put a reserve price on herself of £250,000. Offers reached £10 million on eBay before it pulled the plug and bidding resumed on QXL.com. The auction closed today with a winning bid of £1,000,000,000 from "sh0rt1e". Miss Hammond, who maintains the idea is not a publicity stunt, was not available for comment. A spokeswoman for QXL.com told Ananova: "Bidding is closed. We'll have to wait and see what Kay wants to do next. In normal circumstances the bids are genuine, but this is an unusual auction. There's obviously somebody who's pretty determined to test our system." She said the bidding was only open to QXL members with a credit card account. Miss Hammond has previously said she will meet the highest bidders in January to make sure they want to go through with the sale. Story filed: 13:25 Monday 24th December 2001
