Well here's one way to get rich quick: order from the same eBay seller this kid did in the UK. A teen recently won an auction for a PS2 for £95 that was supposed to come with 2 games. He got the console but instead of the games the box was stuffed with £44,000 (or just over $90,000) in cash. The kids parents alerted police, who have confiscated the money and are holding it while the situation is investigated.

eBay was quoted as saying the contents of the box are "somewhat unusual." Only somewhat? I need to do more online shopping.
