Honestly, I think it's ridiculous/outrageous. I know that if you want VIP that bad, there are other options, including being active on the forum in all sections (Getting 1-2K posts == Super User, which is free VIP), in America, you can get a job at 16+, younger if you have connections, and get paid 5+ bucks an hour. Mowing the lawn, doing all sorts of things can get you paid, but this, it's just ridiculous and a scam. 1 cent is insane, I'm sorry. -.-
