On May 22 in Wellington, New Zealand, a mom was bidding on the internet when she proceeded to go lie down. Soon after, her three year old daughter began to bid and ended up purchasing an earth moving digger for $12,300. She had made the winning bid on the auction site (TradeMe) while her parents were asleep. The mother, Sarah Quinlin says that she previously had made bids on toy sets and just assumed her daughter purchased a toy digger. Quinlan then promptly gave the auction site a call and explained what had happened. The site reimbursed the costs of the seller and the digger was relisted. " Quinlan quotes "...and it was the shock of my life."
