In Australia, An Ebay Sale is a Sale 267
syousef writes "An eBay sale is a sale says an Australian New South Wales State Judge in a case where a man tried to reneg on the Ebay sale of a 1946 World War II Wirraway aircraft. The seller tried to weasel out of the deal because he'd received a separate offer $100,000 greater than the Ebay sale price. The buyer who had bid the reserve price of $150,000 at the last minute took him to court. 'It follows that, in my view, a binding contract was formed between the plaintiff and the defendant and that it should be specifically enforced,' Justice Rein said in his decision." I haven't found anything like this in previous discussions; have there been similar decisions like this handed down in the US, Canada, or Europe?

I suspect that his tactic (perhaps more than most because his output is so volumnous) is to make any hairbrained predication that will get attention (360 posts in this thread and counting). There is only upside for him: nobody counts the number of times he's wrong, they are far too numerous. And on the occasion he is right (a la Mac Intel), he can crow about it.
