Bad Santa: Angry Dad Sells Son's $100 Game For $9,100
ikiryou | 1:23 AM on 12.17.2007 5 comments


A Canadian dad can thank his teenage son's enjoyment of pot for helping him rake in a smooth $9,100 for a copy of Guitar Hero III on eBay. Dad recently purchased the game in an online bid for the sum of $100 as a Christmas present for this kid. Upon catching his offspring partaking in the magical minifestival that is 420, dad decided that the kid no longer deserved the popular rhythm game for Xmas. The winning bid belonged to an Aussie buyer with exceedingly deep pockets, who also seems to like weed, considering his insanely high bidding amount.
