cyborg4928d ago

the article, these properties has a real value attached to them and hence it's business, a kind of real estate, he can sell it off in the future for more money. If a fool decides to purchase it i.e. Otherwise he can kiss his $330,000 good bye.

On second thoughts, who would buy that thing for this much, so yeah

this is MADNESS!
