He paid 95 quid for the console that arrived without two of the promised games, but was soon cheered up to find an enormous lump of EUR 65,400 in the box, according to the BBC.

Mysterious seller "Sony" couldn't be tracked down, but sales in PlayStation 2 consoles on eBay have since gone through the roof. Ah, if only.
Similar story happened around here few years back.
Kid in school was at a bus stop, and noticed a bag on a wall and thought nothing of it. Next few days, the same bag was there, so he decided to open it.
Inside this Black Bag that was just sitting on a wall next to a bus stop for many a day, was £10,300. He took it home, and showed his parents. They took it to the police, and three days later, the kid got beat up in school by a shitload of people for being so fucking stupid as to showing his parents what he found when clearly no-one had noticed it missing.
Of course, the Teachers intervened and said he did the right thing, but then us Six-Formers went on a Week Holiday together, and we went to a quiz made up by the teachers.
One of the questions was: "Name someone who has done something stupid in the last year."
