Angry father gets US$ 9100 richer after selling GH3 Christmas gift |
Listed in: Wii Tags: Christmas, eBay
Ó
Here's a little heartbreaker story with a twisted spin to it. A Canadian father managed to get a copy of Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC) for the Wii after searching for one of the hottest-selling game high and low for two weeks, but comes home to find his son smoking pot with his two "delinquent friends."Angry, the father didn't let his son know that he got Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii and put it up for sale on eBay... Later, the bid shot up leagues higher than its average price of US$ 90. By a stroke of luck, someone actually bought the Guitar Hero 3 by closing the auction at US$ 9100.
Now that he is several thousands of dollars richer, the father is still planning to get another present for his son. "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."

If my father ever !!!! tried to buy me a barbie game i would kick him in the balls so hard he would faint!!! just to remind him of what he would accidentally make me forget with that game(my balls...!!!). and then try to find a new family to get adopted...
Things like these make you realise why 1/10 people are gey nowdays...

And I just went through all the items sold by the person whose profile you linked to. Not a SINGLE Guitar Hero III sale.

First of all that's called a joke yes you've heard of it before. Secondly i did not comment on the fact that the father didnt give his son the present he got for him as a panishment...instead I made a joke as to me and where i come from we do not make barbie games and what ever else comes from the strictly female realm to little boys as presents...hense the whole gey thing....
If you have further trouble of understanding this simple concept then \i would be more than happy to help you do so.
Next time try to behave...

If that was me man, and I saw my brother do that. And he had a PS3 or 360. I would just disconnect the system and I would claim it immediately (lost data and all).
Not to be mean or anything. But rather, I don't want my brother to stray along the wrong path in life. But yet, here's a son that's betrayed a father's trust.

It's time that his son learn his lesson. And see what he's done wrong.

Winners dont take drugs eh? well I guess I'll hang out with the losers like Hendrix, Lennon, Morisson and McCartney...
I can understand that the guy would be a little pissed off at his kid smoking pot, heck, if when the time comes, I find my kid smoking I'd be pissed off too, but all you deluded peons who're saying weed can kill you, get real. the only way its going to kill you is if you smoke a heroic pile of the stuff and then hazily wander into the traffic, and that would make you a particularly stupid stoner.
playing online, I, and my pot smoking friends, dominate when high.... we're mellowed out and relaxed whilst our uptight opponents are stressing out, winners dont do drugs? my KDR says otherwise!
anyway, back on task. this was quite a funny article, and its good to see that this guy, despite being a ball buster, does have a sense of humour...

theres far lower things than pissing off your family... and it doesnt sound like a betrayal of trust, it sounds like a kid experimenting with drugs and getting busted by his dad. stop being so damned uptight!

Sure, you may not feel it, yet. But sooner or later, it will hit you like a bad virus.
1 - Your teeth will turn yellow.
2 - Your breath will smell bad
3 - Loyal friends to you that see you do this would not want to be around you

But Mister Common Sense has always been a dumbass, as long as I can remember checking these boards. Just an angry trolling kid who doesn't know how to grow up I guess... Because he's been here for a while. Someone tell him to calm down,... Perhaps go smoke some pot?

You know what, lets say pot doesn't kill you. But it does slowly waste away your brain cells until all thats left is pulp. Unless you want to spend the rest of your life in a power chair with a bib around your neck, I suggest you stay clean.
I also see that half of you guys never even bothered to read the actualy auction. If you scroll down half a page you'll see the father explain his actions.

LOL thats rich as if you know if he does or not. That is the stupidest comeback ever, you have no life. Do you stalk him at his house to see if he does or not, cause if its the former than your the one without a life.
Just to note i know MCS is joking about the Wii, the only thing next gen about the Wii is the controller, it has slightly better graphics to PS2, nothing that great tbh.
besides its only fun for me for 2 weeks and even then i don't play it often. It lacks alot of games that scream awesome.
@MCS I don't know why it sold that much but it does sound ridiculous, but i remember a PS3 being sold for $40,000 the day after the PS3 launched in North America and it was on ebay.
Talk about rich people or stupid one at that.
