Toddler buys pink convertible on eBay

Jack Neal briefly became the proud owner of a pink convertible car after he managed to buy it for 9,000 pounds ($17,000) on the Internet despite being only 3 years old.

Jack's mother told the BBC that she had left her password for the eBay auction site in her computer, and her son used the "Buy It Now" option to complete the purchase.

"Jack's a whiz on the PC and just pressed all the right buttons," Rachel Neal said.

The seller of the second-hand car, a dealer from Worcestershire, central England, was amused by the bid and agreed not to force the sale through.

"Luckily, he saw the funny side and said he would readvertise," Neal said.

When I was three, I bought a pink convertible too! However, it was taken away by the time I was five because of my third DUI conviction.

Slick jimmy seems to be causing up roars everywhere.

Little kids are so smart. I don't think I figured out computers until I was 8-ish or 10-ish. But, then again, they're bigger now than they were 8 or 6 years ago. wow.... I'm old!

Ha, I heard about that on the radio. Hilarious! I feel a bit bad for the parents who've got to pay for it though!
