$90 game sold for $9000 through ebay

Read this story of a lucky father ,benefited by his son's old video game.Lets try like this.
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 this father spent three weeks searching for the video game for the Nintendo Wigameboard.
“So I was so relieved in that I had finally got the Holy Grail of Christmas presents pretty much just in a nick of time. I could not wait to spread jubilance to my dear son,” the father wrote in the eBay website.
“Then yesterday, I came home from work early and what do I find? My innocent little boy smoking pot on the back yard with two of his friends.”
The man, a school teacher, who kept his identity private, said he had sold the coveted video game to punish his son ,so to 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 was finally sold to an Australian who plunked down 9,100 dollars for it.
The naughty son, however, will not need to go without a present on Christmas.
“I am still considering getting him a game for his Nintedo. Maybe something like Barbie as Island Princess or Dancing with Stars … I know he will just love them,” the father said, tongue-in-cheek.
