This shouldn't end up in politics, but it probably will.

Like telling ghost stories to sell a teddy bear for $400 dollars.

Either that or the eBay ad read, "Son caught smoking pot so I'm selling."

Guitar Hero III for the Wii is worth 9 grand in Australia?  What?

It's "rare"?

Pretty sure I saw a whole stack of them at Best Buy last time I was there.

Course, the Wii ITSELF is another story.

Last I checked, Guitar Hero III is not a Wii game.  Granted, Wii availability issues exist regardless.  I'm lucky I picked one up mid-year when they were going on sale for under $200.

Believe it or not, I had actually checked GameSpot first, but still failed.

My question is did he actually get the money, or did someone create a one off account to fuck with him. I suspect his son has been having on the the interwebz.

Only the original Wii version is worth anything. Its also only worth anything because they fucked it up and it only plays in mono, so they discontinued it, making it somewhat rare in mass market electronic junk definitions of 'rare'. The working Wii version will be out in January and both versions will then become worthless.

Also, nine grand will buy a lot of weed. Wiid.
