Sold up the garden path

To be humiliated by your opponent in an activity of competitive nature, or to be conned or outsmarted by something/someone.
If one was to beat another at a sport such as pool, and said person beat the other by "8-balling" him, then he could've been said to have been "sold up the garden path" by the victor.

If one was to have bought something for £400 that could normally have been purchased for a fraction of the price, he could also have been said to have been "sold up the garden path".

"I have no idea how to work this toaster Jim. I can't return it because it's out of the 30 day return period."

"Don't worry about it, just say it was mis-sold and they'll have no choice but to take it back and refund".
