I've pulled that one off before. Not near as much as you, but I did bid 45
gold on a Blood Ring.... That's why you should never drink and play WoW at
the same time.

I had someone pay 15 gold for a stack of medium leather once. I saw his bid
before the auction closed, so I knew who it was, and I saw him online, as a
level 10...I didn't feel that bad about abusing a stupid twink. He never
seemed to notice; I never got a tell from him. Probably would have refunded
it to him if he had asked, but I wasn't going to volunteer.

Mine was getting 45 gold for a Bright Sphere (lvl 22, +4 INT, +2 SPI,
off-hand).
I was more then a little suprised.
