10/3 FIND:
My last find got me excited and i've been checking facebook, craigslist, and thriftstores more often now...
Well last night someone had posted they had a "BROKEN Xbox 360 with harddrive 2 games and controller for $25"!

Now I thought to myself I can sell the "broken 360" for $30 to someone who fixes them and keep the rest of the stuff for my collection.

Well I end up texting the guy and going to his house within 20minutes. He tells me it comes on and off constantly and wont stay powered and he says its the eye of the console. I told him well im not sure if thats whats causing that problem because your saying it doesnt power and he tells me oh yeah it is...

i dont argue with him, i tried giving him advice to help him out because i actually felt bad that he was selling it so cheap but as i was talking he kept tryin to cut me off from telling him what i thought so i hand him the money and thank him and leave.

i get to my house power it up and sure enough i get 3 seconds of power and it shuts off, it does this 5 or 6 times.
i take my power cord from my other 360 and switch them out and presto... "damaged eye" is now fixed. "Broken xbox" is now fixed.

The only other thing is, is that the door jams and doesnt open everytime and im afraid to try to fix it and make it worse. so if anyone has had this problem and fixed it ide appreciate some help.

So i got a WORKING Xbox 360, 120 gig harddrive, 2 games, 1 controller for $25!
sorry if but had to explain my story because broken things to some people arent what they seem to be.



10/1 find: total $4

Woah nice finds! I'd be real happy to find those two for cheap. Any of the other games decent or just commons?

Nice!

im still looking the other ones up on ebay "completed auctions" to see. but so far these two are the more expensive titles.
of course there are some mario titles and one of them I cant even find on ebay. so ill have to search somewhere
else to find the price. But if I find anymore to be more expensive I'll update the original post.
Overall though most of them go up to $20 in value.

Every game should be in theory on ebay. Perhaps just list them here, don't necessarily need pics, and someone can give you an idea. Still those 2 for 4 bucks is nuts.

Take a quick pic of all the games or list them. We can quickly tell you if you have anything else rare or valuable.

And nice finds.

Very Nice. Did you find these in a yard sale or where?

WHY AM I NEVER THIS LUCKY?!

Seriously, though, congratulations. That's sweet.

Finders Keepers? More like Finders Flippers. I'd only say congrats if you were keeping them. Good luck with your sale none the less.

For only having one great find in history, you did pretty well. Congrats! FnI is the bees knees.

Very nice finds!

now ive got to go thru all the craigslist ads for borken machines

DUDE sweet, I did the same things a few weeks ago with a PS3.

i was pretty thrilled. its a good feeling

Very nice man. I actually have the same problem with my disc tray on my xbox 360. I got my xbox from a friend who originally bought it at a pawn shop. The thing works like new but it has a disc tray issue. It never likes to open and you have to press the button a million times or pry it with a flat head.

Anyways, I found a way to make sure it always opens. If you leave a disc in it, it will always open. I know it stinks but its not a real big deal as I leave discs in it all the time. So let me know if this works.

i found if i hit the side of the xbox it will open up but thats not good for it

This does work do the same with mine.
