Taiwan man sells PS5 at 'cheapest price' after wife finds out it isn't air purifier

A man in Taiwan was coerced into selling his PlayStation 5 gaming console after his wife discovered that it was not an air purifier. The rather surprising tale was shared on Instagram by the buyer of the console who, out of curiosity, asked the seller the reason behind its low price. Answering the question “with bitterness in his eyes,” the seller replied, “it’s my wife who wants to sell it”.

Narrating the story in the post, the buyer of the console, named polishman.jinwu wrote, “Yesterday, I went to buy PS5 in person. After arriving early to the meeting place, I called the seller. He then said that he was left aghast after he found that the voice on phone was of a woman. He explained that although the price of the gaming console was the “cheapest”, he could still sense an eagerness in the voice to sell it at earliest. 

'The woman can tell the difference' 

He then reckoned that it was after the call that he saw the other party- a middle-aged man who looked like a typical electric player-arrived at the meeting spot. “Where did you buy this one?”, buyer Jin Wu asked. To which the man replied that he bought it from Pchome, which is an online retailer. “Why do you want to sell it?," he then asked. After being silent for two seconds.... , the man then replied, “That's what my wife wants to sell... The women can still tell the difference between PS5 and air filter.”
