A. How is he a grinch?
B. A lot of people online feel this is a fake for various reasons. If nobody's posted them by the time I get home, I'll post the reasons.

*snip*HOUSTON (AP) - The kids were naughty, Dad put the presents on eBay instead of under the tree - and Mom's been crying ever since. Now, even the tree's down.
Saturday morning was sure not to be very jolly for three brothers - 9, 11 and 15 - who didn't straighten up when their father told them Santa wasn't too pleased with their fighting, cuss words and obscene gestures.
Dad and Mom had warned their sons that the Nintendo DS video system - and the three games that go with it - were headed for the auction block if they didn't get their act together.
"No kidding. Three undeserving boys have crossed the line. Tonight we sat down and showed them what they WILL NOT get for Christmas this year. I'll be taking the tree down tomorrow," the man announced in his eBay posting.
News ObserverThe warning of an impending sale came earlier in the week at a sit-down between offspring and parents.
“We told them they were destroying each other and the calm and peace in the household. It had to stop,” said the man.
The boys pledged to be nice, but were back to their old ways the next morning.
That night, Dad announced that he would indeed be putting $700 in video games up for sale on eBay. The oldest boy double-dared his dad to make good on his word.
Good thing the snotty 15-year old kid didn't triple dog dare his dad.

Spoiling Christmas for spoiled kids?
hahahaa, that's great.
if you told them you would do it
you have to do it as a parent(otherwise they will never listen to you)
Ahahahahahaha
sounds like they should have punished their kids earlier in life
Kids had it coming...good job parents! Why reward them when clearly they dont deserve it.
For those of you who doubted the validity of this article here is a direct link to the auction on ebay.
The game unit sold for $5.300 to a casino. Ah, the power of free advertising!
$5,300.00?!?
There's been a lot of times I would have loved to just sell off everything my kids own for the exact same reason....
"Super Mario Something...." That's classic me....
