“10 compact disks with files from the laptop of Francis Ford Coppola !!!!!!!!!! ", - this is how the robber described the auctioned lot, assigning him a starting cost of only $ 1. By the end of the auction, during which there were only 11 people who wanted to purchase a valuable product, the cost of discs increased to only $ 62. However, maybe it would have reached large sizes, but the owners of the Internet auction removed CDs from trading. 04.10.2007 / gzt.ru
