Hurricanes handbag auction

Written by Trade Me staff at 7:19pm, Sat 3 Jun 2006

The infamous handbag auction closed this evening at 7 pm, clocking its hit counter with well over 1 million page views. The unprecedented interest on a single auction even brought down our site for some members between 7 pm and 7:10 pm.

Despite a few miscreant bidders, the highest confirmed genuine bid was $22,750 by susie45 - which should provide its owner with plenty of beer money for next year's Super 14 final.

Maybe now poor Tana and Chris can put this unfortunate matter behind them...
