Father Sells Kid's Christmas Present as Punishment
lol & wow! $9,100!
MONTREAL (AFP) - After catching his 15-year-old smoking pot, a father sold the hard-to-get "Guitar Hero III" video game he bought his son for 90 dollars for Christmas at an online auction, fetching 9,000 dollars.
The sale took place after the father spent two weeks searching for the video game for the Nintendo Wii gameboard.
"So I was so relieved in that I had finally got the Holy Grail of Christmas presents pretty much just in the nick of time. I couldn't wait to spread the jubilance to my son," the father wrote on the eBay website.
"Then, yesterday, I came home from work early and what do I find? My innocent little boy smoking pot in the back yard with two of his delinquent friends."
The man, a school teacher, who kept his identity private, said he sold the coveted video game to punish his son and discourage him from smoking dope.
The sale was a boon for the family's bank account, since the game the father purchased for 90 dollars (US) was finally sold to an Australian who plunked down 9,100 dollars for it.
The naughty son, however, will not go without a present on Christmas.
"I am still considering getting him a game for his Nintendo. Maybe something like Barbie as the Island Princess or Dancing with the Stars ... I know he will just love them," the father said, tongue-in-cheek.

I am skeptical about the 9 Grand.
Not only would the game have been gone if it were a Child of mine, but they would be unable to smoke at all, for awhile - waiting for their broken hands to mend.

I have heard this cocking bull story at least three times a year ever since e-bay got started.
Always the same thing. Got son/daughter a hard to find item for Christmas. Caught son/daughter smoking pot, getting drunk, watching porn. So I sold the item on e-bay for 250,000 times more than what I paid for it to teach son/daughter a lesson.
The only lesson that you learn from this garbage. Is that with a good sob story you can get just about any fool pay you 250,000 times more for something than what it's worth on Flea-Bag.

yep, dont let him become a pothead.
I had some friends in school, of course this was in the early 70's
he smoked alot, I would not smoke. but he was still my friend
I tried to talk him out of becoming a pothead.
He never made it to the 35 yr class reunion.
he died in the early 80's, drug over dose0 -
