Boy's extravagant purchase

A British seven-year-old boy bought a jet aeroplane on eBay for £69,999.

The unnamed youngster was browsing the auction website in London and clicked the 'buy it now' button when he saw the real Harrier jump jet.

Luckily, he didn't have to pay up after his father realised what had happened and rang the sellers to explain.

A spokeswoman for Jet Art Aviation, which was selling the aircraft, said: "His dad rang up and profusely apologised to us, so it's still for sale. We've put it on as an auction now so that won't happen again."
