Another fairly slow week, but not bad really. It was definitely a heavy Sony week, in fact, everything I bought was for all three generations of PlayStation. I didn't go to any sales on Friday due to the fact that it was monsoon like in the morning and I had to meet my sister at noon without my dad knowing about it (it was to work on plans for my parents' surprise retirement party) so I skipped the garage sales altogether Friday. There wasn't much left for Saturday, but I managed to get a couple good deals that day. Sunday also brought a rainy morning, so I didn't bother going to the flea market, since it is generally deserted if it even looks like it might rain. I did get nice little surprise in the middle of the week though.





Best Deal of the Week?

Getting poll results. Please wait...

A couple good deals this week, I've got my favorite, but which deal do YOU think was the best one of the week?



As of this posting, I have 2,256 total games, 1,855 unique games, and 401 duplicates. Which means I have 22 more total games, 11 more unique games, and 11 more duplicates since the last Treasure Hunt Chronicles installment.

So far, I've spent $606.61 this year ($16 this week) on gaming related stuff, and I spent $0.00 this week to ship stuff for trades and I brought in $0.00 from selling stuff, so I am down $182.21 this year. The total spent (amount spent on games plus amount spent on shipping for trades) this year, is $689.26

To sum up this year's stats, I have 334 more total games, 377 more unique games, and 43 less duplicates. And I have a "loss" of $182.21 for the year.

I don't believe you need a controller to turn it on.  Shouldn't you be able to flip the power switch on and then press the power button?
 
Wow. Even if the PS3 is broken, that is a rediculous price.
 
You're cousin's parents must buy him everything he wants, lol.

Voted for the PS3 without even thinking.
 
Just use a USB keyboard on the PS3. Play some music CDs or something that you won't need a PS button to get out of without hard-resetting.
 
@blcklblskt: & @NayusDante: I didn't really look at it much, I just flipped it on while he was here and saw it said a controller needed to be plugged in. At the time, I was in the middle of putting my game room back together, so I had enough on my plate already and didn't really care enough to look into it any further.
One of these days I'll get around to actually testing it, but by then I'll probably have access to the controller anyway. Then I'll just have to hope the controller I have actually works.

@WompaStompa11: He just got his first real job a couple months ago, and since he lives with his parents and had a car already, he doesn't have a lot of expenses, so I think he has more money coming in than he really knows what to do with right now. So when it quit working he just decided to go out and by a new one without seeing if the old one was fixable or not.

@Wehll: Yeah, I felt kind of bad about it, but he seemed more than happy to get $5 for it. If I didn't buy it from him, he said he was just going to throw it away.
 
O.o
 
Wow.  All my cousins are jobless loafers who couldn't be counted on to peel a potato.  Even if you have to spend $100 to fix it the profit selling it would be nice.  Might even get rid of that "loss".
 
@NES_Rules: Must be fun having a cousin who makes a million every day if he can just throw away his PS3 without even looking at it. Shocked

I wonder what he could've done to get the console so dirty....some people are so careless it's rediculous. (No offense to you though)
 
@Sirgin: I'm sure its a temporary thing while he's getting used to a steady paycheck and before he has to go to school and find out what books will cost him. Plus, it was easier for him to just get a new one than the hassle of finding a buyer for it or finding some place to get it fixed.

He does live in the basement, so that could have something to do with it. I guess console cleanliness is one of the deciding factors between strict gamers and collectors. To us, as collectors, dust in an fan cover is unacceptable, but to him it's just something he probably never even thought about.
 
what is it about cousins always seeming to have cash just falling from the sky?
Nice deal on the ps3 altogether though if nothing else you could probably sell the casing for more than $5.

@NES_Rules: I know what you mean about dirty consoles. We dont have a/c at my house, so with all the fans running im dusting my systems 3 times a week. It drives me nuts!
