Grandson sneaks on eBay, uses Grandpa's account to buy Wii

Archie Lovett is one sneaky kid. Not only is he adept enough at using those computer things, but apparently he's got a good memory, too. See, he used his Grandpa's account, UK resident Ray Atkinson, on eBay, remembering the username and password, to place a £197,654 bid on a Wii. The best part? The kid already has one.

Thankfully, the eBay seller was cool about the whole thing and ended up selling it to another individual, although for a lot less than Archie's bid.

We've featured various eBay goodies in the past. Have you seen Miyamoto's first console? Or how about the very sweet Super Mario Galaxy mod? Be sure to also check out this nice pair of Chuck Taylors with Nintendo mascots painted all over them.
