AFTER catching his 15-year-old smoking pot, a Canadian man sold the hard-to-get Guitar Hero III video game he bought his son for $US90 ($A103) for Christmas at an online auction, fetching $US9100 ($A10,420) from an Australian buyer.

The sale took place after the father spent two weeks searching for the video game for the Nintendo Wii.

"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."

apparently FOXnews has an article about this online too, but I refuse to visit or link to that site.

They got it from PCWorld and it looks like they in turn got it from GamePro.

That's a lot for guitar hero....*wonders if local Toys R Us has it in stock, wonders about transcontinental shipping costs*

Do I smell bussiness? :P still thats a lot :S

So let me get this straight. He made 10,317 bucks all thanks to marijuana? He should really have a celebratory joint with his son over that one.

EDIT: Wait, Canadian? So why are the prices quoted in U.S. and AU? 

 From an au website note the AU in the address.

So why not Canadian and Australian dollar amounts?

That dude seriously....I mean seriously goes hard to the extreme!!!

Sorry about that.. Noticed that after it was posted and  I couldn't change the topic after I'd posted it. Are you able to change it?

That's alright. I'll overcome my currency anger. But seriously, what a happy story. High times and lots of money.
