A prankster decided to get his own back on a seller who had upped the price of the PlayStation to £950.
The seller, named Mustapha, was asked to drop off the console to a buyer at the The Stand Comedy club since the price he was wanting was a JOKE.
The prankster waited until the seller arrived at the venue before revealing he wouldn't be buying the PS5 at the majorly inflated price.

The post which has been shared on Twitter and Facebook was loved by social media users.
One said: "This is outstanding work. Well done lad".
Another replied: "This is what they all deserve".
A third commented: "Hahhahahahah. 100% deserved!"
