Hi guys, im going to buy an xbox 360 from this guy for $50 / $45.
He advertised $60 (55 USD) initially.
Some pics:
Do you think its a good buy?
also: he is from persia, been here a year and doesnt really speak good english.
says it works though.

I'd say definitely confirm it works first.
I have one I need to sell - I tried selling it to the local game retailer, but they didn't want it since it was built in '06 like this one. Works fine though, but they didn't care.

Hopefully that is the situation, where he is just trying to get rid of the thing. I just am not comfortable going into his house, you know what I mean?
Also I don't think I can communicate with him, asking him to put a hard drive, game and testing it, not sure if he'd understand.
He is also selling this other stuff. Does it paint a better picture of the item working? I am not sure.
$55.00
Negotiable
Apple Wireless keyboard Model No : A1016

It looks clean, he's even got the original box & the cords are neatly tied. I'd say it was taken care of. Unless it's full of cat hair, cigarette smoke, or if it doesn't work (make sure it works!), I'd say $50 AUD is a good deal.
I just noticed that it doesn't have an HDMI port, so if that's important to you...

If you plan on using Live I'd confirm it can connect. If a 360 gets permabanned from Live it stays with the console regardless of ownership or which profile is signed in.

it doesnt have a hard drive, and I don't have one. Do you think I should bring a cheap game for him to test for me? Will it play off the disk?
Maybe I should go into a game shop, get a $4 xbox game and try it on his console. Or I could just take a bet and buy it and go. I don't want to go into a home where a guy has leopard prints on his imac.....

You really think so? Should I just take a wager on it and buy it without testing first? He said it works fine.

don't have a broadband plan yet, and I don't think I will use live due to the cost.
But thats something to think of, thanks :)

Hey thanks for the replies lonestranger. Would you take a bet and buy it without testing first?

Those white ones are known to crap out easily. I had a friend who had to get his fixed 3 times. I'd try to find a black one.
Plus these have an HDMI port. I have one of these and haven't had a single issue with it. *Knocks on wood so hard*

Hmm... no HDD, and it's one of the early models that were the most susceptible to RROD-ing.
I'd skip it.

I know that feeling. Everytime I want to type my consoles are doing fine I crap myself and not type it.
I think you got a good one, so dont worry.
Those ones are expensive though.

Ask him if you can try it out first. You don't want to spend money on a banned or not working xbox.

Okay thanks for that. I'll skip it then :)... the quest continues.
I'll let you know when I get there eventually :)

With all the extra crap you kinda have to buy (aka harddrive) I paid about $500 total for the console ($320), an extra controller controller ($60), and a 320gb hard drive ($120) all new though. And then anywhere from $20 to $60 for the games.
So yes, they can get really pricey really fast. It's like a un-kickable drug habit.

I am not completely sure. Also from looking at the box it seems that the xbox is a very early model which means it is almost definitely going to break or has broken. Also since its so old, it means that the warranty is expired. I just hope that the owner didn't use the "towel trick" or you might as well try playing horizon on an iPotato.

I would pass it. I would suggest to buy a newer one even if it costs more since that means you don't have to go to places like this when it breaks : http://www.westsideconsolerepair.com/default.html
Oh and just a warning. Xbox live is the worst thing you will ever encounter from any console so make sure to write down and memorize your email and password so when they suddenly decide to change their security policy you aren't completely screwed like I was...
