He slighly new he had £40 in his wallet....offered this to the guy as the best he could do unless he came back later in the day...........the guy thought and then took the £40

He did the same for a silver slimline ps2 £20

Waiting for a PSP for about £30 now ;-)

Well surfing around I found this deal on a site called GUMTREE (private ad`s site)

Black gamecube. 1 controller, not boxed
Official memory card
Zelda and the windwaker with the bonus disk
Def Jam Vendetta
Lord of the Rings (cant remember which one)
Matrix
Spiderman
1 more I can`t remember what it was

All for

£20

Went to see my mate at his game store and managed to do me a deal

Traded the cube, memory card and Zelda

(used returns so the same value as if I had bought 2nd hand rather than trade in value)

£51 :clap:

He wanted the matrix games so I gave him this and the other 4 were in the 4 for £20....so I got that as well

So a nice little £51 profit and all in store credits (£71 total) to go towards my Wii

funny you should say that hl718. I think there is going to be even more pressure for the adoption of the common currency in the light of a common borderless market. Of course UK politicians and most importantly people must realize that they are either "in" or "out" of the E.U, there's nothing special about the UK for having double standards :P

rant off

**bigsexyolli** · 12-25-2006

A pretty nice deal for me:

A Xbox 360 (Premium) for 287 euro, new, from an online-shop. Was a 1 day deal as far as I know plus a discount ;)

got about 60 pcbs all working for free... and gonna get much more!!!!
now got to get down cleaning them:icon_bigg

**Garlo** · 01-20-2007

Got StarFox Command for the Nintendo DS for 300 mexican pesos, tax included ($27.60 US dollars) Might not sound like a great deal, but here the game retails normally for 500 pesos ($46 US dollars) In the end, it was even cheaper than getting it in the US, where I try to get most of my current gen games.

It's been fun so far, the control is actually very intuitive. Hopefuly the single player is just as good.

**LuckyToke** · 01-29-2007

I wanted a couple of wavebirds to use with the Wii. On ebay they are going for £15-30 each.

I managed to grab the below for £65 incl delivey from ebay - Very poor auction pic and desc but good communication!

As well as the console most of these games are doubles from my collection so will easily be able to sell on, hopefully make a tidy profit and get the controllers for free!
