Peter Clatworthy thought he had paid £450 for an XBox One console on eBay, but actually received a picture of one in the post.
The 19-year-old student, of Bilborough, had saved up in order to buy a limited edition Day One version of the console as a surprise present for his four-year-old son, McKenzie.
Mr Clatworthy said: "I've had to make a joke out of it because I was that angry. At least we've now got something to laugh about in the years to come.
"I always buy stuff on eBay and this had never happened before."
Mr Clatworthy paid £450 plus £8 packaging.
Despite the listing stating it was a photo of an XBox One Day One edition console, Mr Clatworthy said he'd expected to receive the console as it was listed in the video games and consoles category on eBay.
Since then, there have been reports of people buying empty XBox One packaging via eBay, and paying hundreds of pounds for the privilege.
