Or should that be idiot?
I bid on an auction at Grays today.

All I was after was a new office chair as mine has died and I've been making do with a kitchen chair.
I bid $49 and won what I thought was 1 of 14 gas lift office chairs. When I get the invoice turns out I was bidding for 1 lot of 14 chairs :oo:
I don't have to pick them up until for a couple of weeks which gives me time to work out where the hell to put them all!
I guess this counts as a win - sort of.

Stay tuned for an upcoming sale :D

$49 for the lot! Plus the cost of hiring a vehicle to pick them up :doh:

Guess you have a few spares!

If you mounted enough (mythbuster style), wonder if you could use them to become a tool lift or sim :)

I hope that was $49.00 for all 14 chairs and not $49.00 each. I have had similar things happen at auctions. It can work out in your favour sometimes.
