Okay, so I just talked to the car dealer and worked it all out. Apparently the $1,000 that was paypalled from my mom's credit card was a deposit for a $40,000 car. Nice... Michael is lucky he's autistic. Otherwise, he'd be getting a beating when my dad gets home. But I talked to the guy and he said he'd refund the deposit if I just left him some positive feedback, which I just did. While I was on my brother's account, I noticed that he had bids out on 4 other cars. And a $9,000 CD changer.

Goodness.

These are the dangers of teaching kids about finances using monopoly money. They have no concept of the true value of money.
