Pal brings him an old Robotron | Pal brings him an old Robotron with a broken arm. Once again he uses false advertising as an attempt to sell it. He also sells toy soldiers that he says are large, but he actually just put them in a bigger box. D.W. rebels against this but Arthur thinks that she just does not understand marketing. | ||
Since the toys won't sell online Arthur, Buster, and Muffy decide to hold a garage sale. James comes and takes the broken Robotron out of a box. After James buys it Arthur got enough money for the video game. James notices that it breaks easily, and Buster thinks that Arthur will give James his money back, but Muffy says that he doesn't have to. 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", and Buster is surprised. Buster leaves the scene, telling James that he will fix the toy for him. Arthur gets worried when Muffy tells him that false advertising is house arrest at the worst. | |||
At the video game store, Arthur gets the video game he's been wanting and buys it. He tells the cashier to wait and that he just needs to look at something. Eventually he buys it and walks past James and Buster playing a game Buster made up called "Robotron Arm Toss". It turns out Arthur bought James new Robtron. James thanks him. | |||
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 the start the game it has poor graphics and glitches. Muffy throws it out. Arthur says "If you ever need someone to sell it for you, don't call me." | |||
