BEIJING, Dec. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- A Canadian schoolteacher sold his son's hard-to-find video game "Guitar Hero III" for 9,000 dollars, which he bought for 90 dollars as a Christmas gift to his son.

    After catching his 15-year-old son smoking marijuana, the father decided to sell out this video game as a punishment.

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

    In the eBay listing page, the father wrote: "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."

    "I know smoking a joint isn't the end of the world, but if you can convince me that he deserves the gift, then I will end the auction," the father said.

    The game was bought by an Australian buyer.
