Since the toys won't sell online, Arthur, Buster, and Muffy plan to hold a garage sale. James comes and immediately takes interest in the Robotron figure, resulting in Arthur finally has enough money for the video game. However, after a short while, James notices the toy's arms fall off easily. Buster thinks that Arthur should give James his money back, but Muffy says that he doesn't have to as long as Arthur didn't lie. Arthur doesn't know what to do. Buster wants Arthur to give James his money back, but Muffy thinks the opposite. Arthur retorts "Let the buyer beware". Buster, surprised and angered by this, leaves the scene with James, and offers to fix his Robotron. Muffy then admits to Arthur that his advertising could be considered misleading, and tells him the worst punishment is house arrest, to Arthur's dismay. | Since the toys won't sell online, Arthur, Buster, and Muffy plan to hold a garage sale.

On the way home from the store, Arthur finds James and Buster playing "Robotron Arm Toss", a new game that Buster made up. It turns out that Arthur didn't buy the video game, but a new Robotron toy for James instead. | At the video game store, Arthur is about to buy the new video game, but then changes his mind and tells the cashier that he just needs to look at something.

At [[Crosswires' Mansion|Muffy's Mansion]], Muffy bought the game "just to see what all the fuss was about". They turn it on, and it first it seems good. But when they start the game it has poor graphics and glitches, poor sound, a generic explorer character rather than Dark Bunny, and a Game Over screen after the first few moments of gameplay. The three are disappointed and Arthur says to Muffy "If you ever need someone to sell it for you, don't call me."
