Father sells son's guitar hero 3, for $9,100!!

[zapasant]

i heard about this on the radio a couple dyas ago, and i just ran into an article about it, here you go

A 15 year old Canadian lad was caught smoking Pot in the families backyard by his father. To teach his son a lesson the father decided to sale his “hard-to-find” Christmas gift, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, on eBay. The game retails for somewhere around $90… to the amazement of pretty much everyone… the game sold for $9,100 on eBay.


Even though he was trying to get a message across to his son… he can’t argue with making $9,000 profit. But, everyone don’t worry - the kids Christmas won’t be ruined by his “experimenting” ways… the father has stated the following.

"I am still considering getting him a game for his Nintendo. Maybe something like Barbie as the Island Princess or Dancing With the Stars. These games are in stock everywhere I go, and I know he will just love them."

This whole situation is quite comical… but if you want to read the whole ordeal head over to eBay .

Still funny as hell, I think that would take the sons anger away from his dad if he even got $300, buy the game 2-3 times over...

You do know that the bid is junk right? Take a look at the bidding history...

What he meant
The guy who won the bid just bidded about 15 times all at once from like $200 to the $9100 it came too

 

[gnahc79]

within 5 min there's 12 sequential bids from one person, a bid from a brand new account with the username g**g, then two more sequential bids.

I heard about that on Q102 and Yahoo! News.
It's hilarious!

 

[FLYNNN]

Did the man set it up himself to get 15 minutes of fame? I can understand if the media didn't mention the bidding history in hopes of a good story but no one would really... I got mine $90 a Gamestop 5 days ago, lol.

I can't really tell why they'd pay 9000 bucks! I wouldn't pay over 110!

 

[Moose]

Yeah, no one in their right mind would pay $9100. NO game is worth 9k. But, funny none the less

 

[swordkirby]

Lol. that is HECKA funny.

I'm glad my parents don't take my guitar hero for me smoking pot, lol

 

[SensesFail]

haha, little **** deserved it. if your gonna smoke weed dont do it when daddys around. but still, 9100 dollars is a fair trade for catching your son smoking weed. money solves all problems. lol

 

[AlchemistX]

Too funny. But why did that guy bid so much if it was only him bidding by himself?
