Wait, WHAT?! - Kotaku Comments]]> <![CDATA[Win a Wii... and a House... and a Car... Wait, WHAT?!]]> @frankstallone: 9 mill dollars is not even close to 10 pounds. Its about 4.5 mill pounds actually

xengland7x

]]> <![CDATA[Win a Wii... and a House... and a Car... Wait, WHAT?!]]> Ok so i have to comment on the idiot who thinks 9 mill USD is the equivalent of 10 pounds because its not. I've lived in England all my life and moved to the states at 16 and 9 million dollars is about 4.5 million pound. Look it up. Idiot!

]]> <![CDATA[Win a Wii... and a House... and a Car... Wait, WHAT?!]]> If i knew my bid actually stood a chance, i'd have put one up.I'd love to live in North Carolina.Since i already have a Wii, i'd even donate the new one to that lady in Texas who is looking for one for her son.

Alas, the chances of me winning anything are lower than the temp at the South Pole unfortunately.

So they expect a 9 mil profit... what a bunch of dirty bastards.

And BMW 330i... come on, at least have a few M series car if you plan on selling the whole damn thing for 10 mil.

I'm sure someone meant it as a social commentary (damn hippies), but I like to imagine that some too rich oil baron would have bought it and really screwed the guy."Wife, Kids, I'm sorry. we have to move out and can't take anything, I sold everything we own... but I made 9 million dollars! Oh, and since I said everything in the house, I have to include all of you in the deal. I'm sorry, but I'm sure you'll enjoy your new master!"

]]> <![CDATA[Win a Wii... and a House... and a Car... Wait, WHAT?!]]> They listed the price of the house-and sure with the BMW and the Wii that is an interesting little deal, but does that all come out to an appropriate price listing? I only ask, but I guess including things like the TV and all the furnishings it may....but huh, for some reason it just seems like a rip......but hey, I dunno, I have seen dumber things on sale that people have gobbled right up....but a 9 million dollar purchase off of EBAY....I dunno...

Built on a graveyard,cults,haunted Etc. And the people who wanted to buy it would have to spend the night in that house to prove that is was bullshit. And besides iam still waiting for OJ to sell his house to pay for his legal shit. I bet i will find more cool shit than a Wii and a BMW in that place.

That house can't be worth more than 300,000. With the car and the Wii and the cost of airline tickets, rental cars, moving trucks, movers, etc... you're looking at MAYBE half a million dollars in value, here.

It's a decent-looking house. I especially like the shrubs in the front, and it's nice that it's fully furnished. However, even considering that plus the BMW and Wii, I still don't think it's worth cose to 10 million dollars.

Besides, the last thing I need is yet another Wii, mostly because I already have two.

]]> <![CDATA[Win a Wii... and a House... and a Car... Wait, WHAT?!]]> There's no harm in throwing up an auction like that. No one will spend that much money on something not worth near as much as the price, and if they DID, well frig, you're a millionaire.

It's all in good fun. Those Wiis sure are a hot ticket commodity.
