One of the reasons I am a retro game collector is basically because I don't have a lot of money and it can be an inexpensive hobby if you look for stuff at thrift stores and garage sales like I do. I know it can be expensive too, but I am all about gaming on a budget.

So last Saterday I went to my local Goodwill and in the glass case was a Xbox 360 with a sign on it that said: "Won't play games". With a price tag of $39.99. I have fixed a couple of regular xbox's and so I figured it was worth the risk. I could at least make my money back from parts if it couldn't be fixed. So I bought it, took home, fired it up and............ it works perfectly. I have been playing it everyday since with no problems.

Everyone I know that I tell about it can't believe it. A Xbox 360 for 40 bucks? Yes it is true. I would never have bought a 360 otherwise. I couldn't afford it.

Anyways, what super sweet deals have you found?
