Online error: Pa. school trailer sold for just $1


Officials in one eastern Pennsylvania school district are red-faced after making a costly mistake on eBay.

The East Stroudsburg School District was attempting to sell seven used classroom trailers, but an error in its ad on the online auction site allowed someone to bid and buy one trailer for only a dollar.

The district had purchased the trailers three years ago for about $46,000 each. With transportation and setup costs, the total came to around $60,000.

Officials were expecting to get around $5,000 to $10,000 per trailer on eBay (nasdaq: EBAY - news - people ).

District superintendent Rachel Heath says officials tried to back out of the eBay sale but couldn't.

There ARE ways around that - what are they going to do get negative feedback...who cares! Its an obvious error and they should not be held responsible for that.

First of all, let me say that I do believe in true love. But I also deeply believe in the complexity, variety, and downright insanity of love. A lucky person loves hundreds of people in their lives, all in different ways, family love, friendship love, romantic love, all in so many shades and depths. I don't think you lose your ability--or right--to have true love by loving more than one person. In part, this is true because you never love two people the same way. Another part of it is that, if your lucky, you learn to love better with practice. The bottom line is that you have to choose who you are going to commit to-that's the foundation of true love, not a lack of other options. ~Stephenie Meyer
