Post everytime you buy something game related and your unbelievable deals

I won a US 60GB PS3 on ebay for £90 shipped, advertised as broken the guy said the laser had failed and he replaced it but it still wasn't working.

Once I received it I planned to order a new laser and fix it. I opened it up to make sure nothing else was broken.

Checked the laser and the guy had left the protection sticker on!

Needles to say I peeled that off, screwed it back together and it now works perfectly..

Bargain!

 

@MiG: Nice one, wish it happened to me

 

lol congratulations

 

£40 shipped. It was an ebay lot with no pictures. I was surprised when I saw the FF game, expected it to be a copy of phantasy star online identified wrongly like you sometimes see. Except for those bottom two that I put separately which are missing instructions, a couple of cracked cases and the 4 loose discs everything is mint and complete! Some pretty expensive stuff in there!

 

WOW!!! impresive find thomj!
my last ebay find was this:

Not very impressive but still very cheap.

 

Just won Shenmue 1+2 for £13

The boxes aren't in the best of nick but the discs are great :thumbsup:

 

I got a mint copy of Xenogears for £4 at an anime convention. I doubt anyone else bought it because it's an NTSC-U copy and I live in a PAL territory.

 

Not quite such a good deal but I also recently got these, the top lot I paid just under £50 for total. PS1 is an scph-1002 (flipped it round to show the extra outputs) which I'll sell on for about £20 and came with a copy of r types in it (shame there's no case). Apart from kirby's dream land everything is boxed with instructions and near mint. The bottom lot was 50p for the whole stack, top row are from the front of N64 magazines, cheat books and things, the bottom row are all N64 manuals, all for different games. I just know that some day these will come in handy. I won't buy games without instructions so I just made a list of those ones and now I can look out for cheap box / no instructions copies.

 

Debug PS1 for $20

 

I just brought a used Acer EEE 904HA 160gb with a everything plus £11 sleeve for £150 on ebay.. No one else saw it, and i was the only bidder..

(they go for £230 new, so that's £91 cheaper with the sleeve aswell!)

Mwhahha

 

I got a boxed SCPH-1002 today for a tenner, nothing special but I thought it would be nice to have. Also got a unboxed SCPH-1002 for £3. Also got some infared Mega Drive pads for £5, which I thought would be cool to try.

 

Went to the flea market today. I bought Nintendo Power issues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and the official Nintendo Power SMB3 guide. Only 1$ per issue. They're in incredible condition with all the original inserts and posters intact.

edit: #1 also says "Free Sample Copy" on the front instead of "Free Poster Inside". How rare would you guys say this thing is? Whats it worth? It is in amazing condition. Near mint.

 

I got given two PS2 TOOL's a couple of weeks ago by a friend.

Joined this site to find out about them as I'd never heard of them before.

Havent tried them out yet but have been assured they both work although they came as the unit only with nothing else.

Anybody know what kit they originally came with?

 

Just traded a Xenon Xbox 360 with 20gb hdd+ $100 for a nikon d40 with 2 lenses! =D

 

Is that a good price? I mean a D40x (10MP instead of the D40's 6MP) is $300 new w/ 1 lens.

 

The D40 is a better camera then the D40x as the smaller MP means the CCD is more sensitive and it has a much faster fill in flash.

MPs don't really matter unless you want to make large posters....

A D40 with 2 lenses sells for well over $500, been trying to win a D40 with one lens on Ebay and even second hand they have been going over $300...

 

A big thanks to IDC who kindly offered and gave me a free Namco 246 motherboard (faulty) and the Namco I/O, plus cables. Between this and another faulty system my mate owns I am hoping to get it up and running again for some Namco action!

Thanks IDC, credit where credit is due! :thumbsup:

 

Went to Morrisons with the kids this morning which was rather challenging, to say the least. But they did have Motorstormacific Rift for a very acceptable £6 (original, not Platinum). Hopefully they'll soon realise no-one is going to give them £37.99 for Little Big Planet and I'll be able to get that for 6 quid too.

 

Just bought a Neo Geo CD for 80 dollars shipped w/ SS4 and 2 controllers. Wonder if that was a good deal.

 

I'd be very happy with that personally. :033:
