Man Wanted $10 on eBay For Rolex; Got $66,100

[killthesunshine]

Bob originally bought the watch for $70 from a Navy Exchange 52 years ago and wore it nearly every day for the 40 years after. He listed it for $9.95 in hopes to get some of his money back. Imagine his surprise when he noticed that his listing shot up past the $30,000 mark.

I am glad he is getting that kind of bank. Guy deservers it. Good to see nice things happen to good people every so often.

i didn't see anything in there that would suggest he was a good person or a bad person. why did you assume he's a good person and deserved a good deed?
