Gigayacht Sold on eBay?
See if you can work this out. A press release appears today claiming Fort Lauderdale based 4Yacht has sold a 405-foot steel megayacht on eBay, believed to be the most expensive item ever sold on the Internet auction site.
In fact, the as-yet-unbuilt yacht is so big, it’s actually a “Gigayacht”, the press release adds, with a touch of gasconade–as though the author of the release said to himself “hang on old chap, megayacht sounds a bit runty”, and went one bigger. Now, we love our Gigayachts–and all that sail in them–as much as the next man, but we don’t expect them to be flogged on eBay (nasdaq: EBAY – news – people ) along with tissues used by Paul McCartney and a ten-year-old grilled cheese sandwich that has been scorched into a silhouette of the Virgin Mary. So you can forgive us for investigating further.
