He really should donate this money (minus the cost he paid of course) to some nonprofit organization to help bring smiles to some less fortunate kids this holiday.

If anything donate a large portion to Child's Play by purchasing a bunch of games for kids in Children's Hospitals... but I agree, If the winning bidder ACTUALLY PAYS for the auction he should donate a nice portion of it to a good charity...

Last year I sold my Acer laptop for 6000 dollars. Yes, believe it or not, 6 grands, I bought the laptop for 500 dollars.. I was so happy until I got an email from the buyer saying that he wants me to ship it to Nigeria (lol). I immediately knew that it was ascam I contacted eBay and Paypal and they confirmed that its a scam.... just to let you people know, eBay is a heaven for scammers, it won't be strange if the buyer of this game is just a scammer...

You know what I know the winner is not going to pay. I had someone bid 4k on a 360 elite I sold on ebay. Well come to find out ebay took down the auction after it was over and told me the person who bid on it account was stolen/not the original owner who owned the account.

his son found out about the auction and use his own account to outbid anyone, and even overbid to get his father's attention and to show how much he wants it. Of course he doesn't have to pay and his father will not give him negative feedback.

There's more than ONE retard here.

Let's see...at least THREE people are retarded here.

Seriously though...I'd use it to hire a pimp to smack my kid every time he mentioned pot.

THIS IS GENIUS!

This whole thing could be a hoax!

He could have made up a story about finding his son smoking pot...which he made known across the internet. THEN, he auctions off that kid's GHIII...

This could work for ANY product! You know how stupid people are these days.

This is so stupid, this is just a scam that the dad did by putting up the story so that some people might sympathize with him and then eventually buy his game for much more than it was worth. I wouldn't even be surprised if he were the one who posted the story about it on digg.
