ZitZot: 3 year old toddler buys $12k digger online
Sarah Quinlan, a New Zealand mom, went to take nap after having made some online bids on toys. When she came back, her 3-year-old had taken over the computer and bought a much more serious toy: a real earth mover for a cool 20,000 New Zealand dollars (about $12,300).
According to Rodney Times, Pipi Quinlan was happily clicking away on the keyboard while her parent was asleep and ended up being the winner of a Kobelco digger, a gigantic earth-moving vehicle.
Sarah had the shock of her life when she found out via e-mail which auction her account had won. She immediately called popular New Zealand auction site TradeMe, and the seller, to explain what happened. She added that her little girl was kind of a girly girl and not generally into earth movers.

Go back to the kitchen little girl, where you belong. You can't cause any damage like this then.
Nice, very funny, cheered me up a bit from my hangover.
if I wanted to read crap from zitzot, I'd go to zitzot.
nice to see so many kiwis on this site, am i to gather that Martin himself is also from aotearoa?
IS THIS RLSLOG?
GHEYFOG—-
This is not a release site whiners, this site is about religion and faith. If you don't like it go away.
Once in a while, ZitFace "news" is ok, but you are going crazy with these stupid stories to promote your other site.
Not the first time this excuse has been used. "No really.. my child accidently bid"
>>> dam
…yeah thats what i thought too.
Pretty much a given that is what REALLY happened.
Lets ask "How did the kid fill in the price, etc?"
RS Links Please
seriously, this is why you need to beat your kids. they should FEAR you! That way they dont do anything stupid.
Nice this is a nice new
this made me lol,
& stop complaining people, it makes you sound like all you ever do is F5 releaselog until a new post comes up, and this was some terrible anticlimax. if a post doesn't interest you just skip past it.

Actually using New Zealand's Trade-Me – you can hit a button "Buy Now".
Here is an idea, don't leave your 3 year old child next to your computer when you go for a nap. It's her own fault for the child buying a real digger.

here is a better idea, dont allow some people to own a computer, ESPECIALLY after reading some of these and other posts full of racist insults and attacks on others countries and religious beliefs. If you made an intelligence test to own a computer, it would get VERY quiet on the net VERY fast as most of these kinds of people would not be allowed to own a computer. And the one's that did the attacking would be first in line to be ushered off the net till they became more intelligent.
