* In the ''[[Tintin]]'' book ''The Secret of the Unicorn'', Tintin buys a model ship from a street vendor to give to Captain Haddock as a gift. It turns out the ship has a scroll concealed in the mast which, when combined with two others from identical ships, leads to a fortune in gold and jewels.
* ''[[Archie Comics]]'':
** [[Double Subversion]]
** In one story set in winter, Archie wants to impress Veronica by giving her a ride in a snowmobile, and is scammed into buying an old lemon from an [[Honest John's Dealership]]. Naturally, Reggie revels in his rival's stupidity, betting him he can circle a block ten times in his new snowmobile before Archie can do so even once in his - and Reggie easily wins. However, when the humiliated Archie finally gets to Veronica's house, Mr. Lodge recognizes it as an antique, offering Archie his own expensive modern snowmobile in exchange for it, plus $500 in spending money, plus the services of his chauffeur for the night. In the final scene of the story, Reggie is back at the dealer, begging him to pull the same scam on him.
