[QUOTE="n8thegr8, post: 1569348, member: 6349"] The biggest score I've ever found was when I found a "broken" 60gb original ps3 (the one with the emotion engine still built in, the best one IMO) for $100 at a pawn shop. Now I figured I could fix anything that was wrong with it for much less than the $400 difference for a new one. They even tried to talk me out of it "we wouldn't sell it if it didn't cost more to fix it than it was worth", but I bought it anyway. I get it home, and plug it in, and there's audio, but no video. So I held down the power button for 5 seconds to reset the video source, and voila, turns out the guy that turned it in had been using HDMI, and all the pawn shop had to test it with was composite cables, lol, so I had a $500 PS3 for $100.
