Norfolk, England (AHN) - Police are trying to track down the owner of 65,400 euros sent to a 16-year-old boy who bought a Playstation2 for $200 on eBay.

The cash, which is worth roughly $88,000, arrived at the house in Norfolk, with the games console, but without the two games promised in the ad.

This is why I don't buy stuff on eBay. I mean if you say there are two games with the playstation you should send the two games with the playstation. The poor kid.

Hey, they lost the 2 games, so the person sent a replacement.
How many games can you get for $88,000?

How rich do you have to be to misplace $88k?

Wow, pay $200 for a playstation, and get a playstation and 88K. Nice profit.

1) is the money counterfeit ?
2) is it drug / illegal asset money ?

maybe the sender just ran out of bubble wrap and wanted to make sure that the console was not damaged during shipping.... I am sure that 64,000 pounds would provide some cushion.
