Toward the end of last week, I did my daily Craigslist check-up to see if anyone was selling anything at a half-way decent price. I found this little gem:

Most of the time, these ads are total bs. Normally I reply and get some pre-written message telling me to go to some website to try and get a 360 for free by spending money
. Since there were some actual pictures, I ldecide to leave a message this time. Sunday night I get a reply stating that he (the poster) would be in town on Monday and wanted my phone number to contact me about pick-up. Well I send him an email with my number. All of Monday goes by and nothing, no calls, no replies, my spirits are broken.
Tuesday at dinner, I get a "private" call. Its him. He says he had a buyer who couldn't come through until tomorrow and is willing to give it to me now if I am ready. We meet, he lets me test the 360 completely, and the accessories, whole thing work flawlessly. Something he didn't mention is that he included a Nykko intercooler. I bought it, and have been playing demos for Dead Rising and Lost Planet ever since. So I got, a premium 360, 2 wireless controls, hd cables, power brick, hard drive, intercooler for $250. Downside as there always is, no box or manuals. if you think the box is worth the extra $150, then you have alot of money to spend. In any case, I'm quite happy, CL came through for me.
