Post everytime you buy something game related and your unbelievable deals

Free xbox 360, no rrod - but kept freezing on games. Removed the x clamps and re fitted everything. 1 perfect working xbox ))

 

300bucks for a PS3 with 2 controller,2 games and 2 Bluray. The American Expat is going off so i grabbed it. lol..

He gave me a big giant Transformer for free. Sold it for 100bucks.

 

£50.00 for Sega Hang On arcade cabinet (faulty), which is a steal!

Even if the motherboard is fried, these cabinets are worth at least £100 on their own.

Can be converted to Outrun with steering mechanism exchange. So, we shall see where it goes.

Nice one on the DSlite that started to work after bought faulty... why do people give up so easily? OH:

 

I picked up a bunch of PS1 and Dreamcast games for $5 at my town's thrift store

 

For $50, I recently picked up a Wii that wasn't reading discs. I got it with an idea of getting a replacement drive off ebay, but mostly just to open it up & poke around inside without fear of messing up a good unit. Well, as it turned out, the problem wasn't actually reading discs, but that the mechanism wasn't pulling them all the way inside, or properly ejecting. A bit of tweaking later & I had a pretty much functional unit that I can use for homebrew/imports without stressing over bricking it - it still has some trouble with GC discs, but I'm not so fussed about that - maybe I'll fix that later.

I also picked up a PAL 360 off ebay a while back for $50 - the US based seller claimed to be unable to test it. Since I have PAL capable monitors, I figured it was worth a shot - turned out fine, absolutely no problems at all. :thumbsup:

 

NIce !
Most of the people i buy "broken" systems from think they have a good deal :lol: ,they have that look like "the sucker is actually paying for a broken device"

 

Just received -

Command and Conquer 3 (PC)
Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 (PC)
Spore (PC)
Logitec gaming mouse (worth £80)

All brand new and sealed.

For Free!!!

 

oh wow.. how u get these free?!

 

Shoplifting?

 

Nope, my dads company purchased a new laptop for his branch in sudan. Whoever was clicking the buttons on the dell website obviously went overboard with the options. It had to be packaged and checked at my house before being sent to africa...when the extras were discovered they were sent my way!

 

Just got a Megadrive Model 1 along with a Mega CD2 together for £6.00 including the postage, both not working.
After replacing the fuse in the Mega CD, it worked on another Megadrive.

So a Mega CD Model 2 for £6.00, I'm quite happy with that.

 

i got 2 dreamcasts for 7 bucks including 9 games one controller, a free nes with 2 games, i also got 2 gba sps that were broken (screen broke on one and mobo broke on other) but swapped mobo's with my friends and it worked fine!

free computer and other stuff!

p.s this was all in the same day!, some pawn shop type of store.. dont remember what its called had a "garage sale" and picked these all up 3 years ago!

EDIT: i also picked up an atari 5200 for $30 the next day

 

The wife decided to spring a surprise birthday present on me. My b'day isn't for a few weeks, however she saw something on eBay she thought I might like and snapped it up immediately.

She did really, really well, albeit she's now created 2 major headaches. A) How to get the item here and B) where to store it when it arrives.

Somehow, she managed to obtain Sega Manx TT Twin cabinets for an astonishing £100.00. Delivery will be around £250.00, so I immediately sold a couple of unused items to cover the costs. Even at that, they sell for more than £350.00 normally.

So, result!

Now to figure out where the hell it's going to go!

It looks like this: http://www.motobreaks.com/images/incidentals/welcome2.jpg

Perhaps that was her intention. One last splurge!
