This rivals SicEm's drunken proposition as the funniest thing I have seen all day.

Thanks everyone...

The Wife and I were just sitting down to pay some bills...

I had no idea that you could settle debts with expensive artwork.

Looks like we'll be getting a new gas-guzzling SUV to drive to games in.

You can always count on SoonerFans.com for advice.

You made OUr day. :D

Oh crap...I didn't read the other emails.

We've really screwed up.

I hope we can get our art back.

That was so lucky that he got his stuff back.

OMG...

What have I done...those were Family Treasures....

'Spider man' refuses to pay for drawing

A man who placed the $15,000 winning bid for a photograph of a hand-drawn seven-legged spider says he has no intention of paying up.

The digital image originated from a popular viral email in which a graphic designer attempts to pay an overdue bill with his spider drawing.

It was auctioned on eBay last week after the email spread around the globe.

See the email here.

The winning bidder, Patrick Munoz, told ninemsn he originally placed a bid for $99,000 — but that it sold for $15,000 because only 18 other people placed bids.

He now says the hapless graphic designer won’t be seeing a cent.

"I was just having a laugh about this," Mr Munoz said.

"I used my normal eBay account too — eBay is going to have the sh**s when they find out."

eBay spokeswoman Sian Kennedy said the photograph’s seller could take Mr Munoz to the police for breaking the "contract he made when he won the item".

"People need to be careful when doing this — Mr Munoz is taking the money away from the person who the sold the item," Ms Kennedy said.

"He should be ashamed."

Mr Munoz scoffed at the suggestion the bid was a binding contract: "eBay has to say that".

The man behind the drawing, David Thorne, said he was unfazed.

"The internet is a playground and I would not have it any other way," Mr Thorne told ninemsn.

He should have offered to pay with a drawing
