Bid For eBay Fame Ends In Surrender

Velvet Underground Offer Is No Record

A US man who can barely afford ``gas money'' cannot honour his own eBay bid of $US155,401 for The Velvet Underground's first recording. According to wfmynews2.com, bidding is to reopen today after the buyer confessed: ``Seriously, I can barely afford gas for my car to get to work.'' The record is owned by Montreal collector Warren Hill, who said he bought it at a New York flea market in 2002 for 75 cents. Hill says he's not going to sue the defaulter.
