Man tries to pay bill with drawing

Below is the complete email conversation that Adelaide man David Thorne claims he had with a utility company chasing payment of an overdue bill.

From: Jane Gilles
Date: Wednesday 8 Oct 2008 12.19pm
To: David Thorne
Subject: Overdue account

Dear David,
Our records indicate that your account is overdue by the amount of $233.95. If you have already made this payment please contact us within the next 7 days to confirm payment has been applied to your account and is no longer outstanding.

Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles

Incredible, I'm a good artist, why didn't I think of this before? :P

But wait! It gets better! The man tried to sell the drawing on ebay, but ran into some funny troubles there as well:

'Spider man' refuses to pay for drawing

Ra,

I'm surprised Ms. Giles was that patient with him. I would've told him where he can stick it.

Thank you for contacting me. I am currently away on leave, traveling through time and will be returning last week.
Which time period? Back when he was 5? XD!! That must be the last week several years ago!

That spider is adorable X3
I can't believe someone actually bid $15,000 on it. Ebay's gonna have fun with that one.
I imagine that'll be a WTF news post for another time.

I didn't see anywhere that the seller was pushing the buyer to pay that $15,000... was he? If they both drop it, I think Ebay will have to let it go.

I didn't see anything about the seller. Only the buyer saying he wasn't paying a cent.
