A Taiwanese man bought the newest Playstation 5 but could not enjoy playing with the device because his wife sold the console after she found out his lie about it being an air purifier.
The buyer, Jin Wu, shared the experience on Facebook. Wu said he arranged a meeting with the seller in person and even called to verify the purchase, but was met by a female voice, who he said didn’t sound like she was much of a gamer.
Wu added that the “price is also the cheapest to find on the day.”
When Wu met the seller to claim his new PS5, he was greeted by a sad husband instead of his wife.
After a short exchange about where the device was purchased, the husband admitted that he tricked his wife into thinking the game console was an air purifier.
“It’s my wife who wants to sell it,” the Facebook post read. “I went silent after seeing the look in his eyes. I could feel his pain.”
“Seems like women can still tell the difference between a PS5 console and an air purifier,” the post concluded.
