Thats a very ironic question P6,

as a couple comrades here can attest,

the American Idol interactive was over $100 to sell all with 5 folks left.

under normal circumstances I would've tried to ID the error and just exploit that.

however something rather amazing occured, I sold them all I think 50 times, got a free $100,

but one entrant they had posted at 0-2, who I thought was eliminated was actually still in the competition,

so not only was it over $100, but I go back into my account a couple days later, and WOW, all of a sudden,

the one that was 0-2, is now 6-9 as one was eliminated, the opportunity now to sell this one for an additional 50 x $6=another $300.

So, I in essence did what I normally would by selling all but the mistake, unwittingly.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
