Part of this article is incorrect in that in saying that the highest bid for the handbag was NZ$100,000,000. The actual highest bid was NZ$99,999,999.00 and was placed by rouge TradeMe user Ben Edwards of Auckland, username "benedwar". A screendump of this bid is available at: http://picasaweb.google.com/benedwar/TradeMePhoto/photo#5009433073527557746

To view this picture well, zoom in and you will see it is a screendump by the actual bidder himself. He reports that he was not in anyway contacted by TradeMe in relation to this and believes TradeMe drew a blind eye to this bid due to the intense amount of traffic it brought to the site along with the auction. The auction, this bid and the final sale price made the news on all local channels the weekend that it ran.
