Nintendo Game Sells For $9,000 on eBay Edit
Parents Against Marijuana Bid on Guitar Hero III


Digg this TrendStumble this TrendShare this TrendEmailthis TrendEmbed This TrendShare This Trend



A proud father went on a serious shopping mission to get his son the perfect present, Guitar Hero III for the Nintendo Wii. He finally got his hands on the prized object, and upon bringing it home, found his beloved angel son smoking ganja in the back yard with some stoners.

In his fury, the dad put the game up for sale on eBay… along with the reason for the sale.

“If you want to help ruin this kid’s holiday spirit even more, bid on the auction here,” he wrote.

As a result of description, it caused bidders to wildly inflate the price (it usually retails for $89.99) as a show of parental support. An Austrlain buyer shelled out $9,100,01 on December 10. You know how much weed you can get for $9,000?

EBay auctions are often purchased for unusually high prices by buyers seeking publicity. "Most of you have supported me" the defiant dad wrote after the auction closed. "Some of you think I should just shrug off the pot-smoking incident, but I think most of those people do not have children of their own". And to his son - "I hope you've learned your lesson."
