I read a post here on this forum that someone was thinking about putting their failed attempt forsale on ebay.  I did a search on ebay for broken xboxes and found a few forsale.  What I found amusing is the fact that pretty much all the sellers said "I don't know whats wrong with it?".

Yeah RIGHT!

... that just cracks me up.     laugh.gif

I was thinking of buying one... after all, isn't there a guy on these forums that fixes XBoxes, even if traces and points have been ripped off by some impatient, would-be modder? For only $20, to boot. Even if you sold 'em afterwards, you'd still get about $40-$60 dollar profit. Personally, I'd keep 'em so I me and my wife can kick the shit out of each other legally through Halo or Cell Damage. =-)
Ramble, I know. I'll go to sleep now.

lol, read this, what it really means is "bought a mod and *first* soldering iron, using some nice thick 15 ga. copper wire and lifted a few tracks, set iron down on the case and melted it."

I bought a broke Xbox off ebay a couple months ago.

Was the whole system in a box, with all the paper work, cords and controller. Paid $45 bucks. Didnt work...

I opened it up and u could see where he soldered in the mod and melted it.

I took out the Harddrive and CPU then boxed it all back up and went to Wal-Mart at like 3am. I was like Hi I bought this a couple weeks ago and it's never worked. I lost the sale slip though. Can I just exchange it for another one?

The lady behind the desk said sure I dont see why not. So she looked threw the box to make sure it was all there.

She didnt even notice the stickers on the bottem of the system were missing. Well anyway she calls back to the Electronics department which brings one up. The guy is like all we have left in stock is this one unit. It was the Sega GT 2002 bundle pack with the MS S-Type controller.

They lady exchanged it for me smile.gif  She didnt even notice it was diffrent.

I got a new xbox for $45 dollars with Sega GT 2002 and a S-Type controller tongue.gif

Then I sold the HD to my friend for $50 bucks so basicly I got an xbox and made $5 profit smile.gif

Anyway, go buy other peoples fuckups. They can be worth it.

On a side note, Wal-Mart didnt make me sign anything or fill out any return papers so they dont have my name or anything incase anyone does notice the xbox is missing the CPU and HD. Altho if they did what the hell would they say, my reply would be well thats why I returned the fucker it didnt work. I guess it was cuz someone else bought it and jacked the shit out of it and returned it and u dumb fucks put it back on the shelf without checking it.

I had a PS2 for a while too but I sold it. Starting to wish I hadn't. I still have the origanal box, extra controller, and  I have a few spare PSX A/V Cords and all the paper works in the box.

I think its time to start looking around Ebay for another broken PS2. My friends bought like 4 broke PS2's off Ebay and swapped them. Guess its time to do that now too smile.gif
