    looks like he may have thought he could repair them cheap and flip them. Must have found that he has a lot of dead paper weights then lol. The xbox 360 probably has 1 LBs of motherboard per units plus the Power supply and DVD Drive.

    I wouldnt pay no more that $25, and thats being generous.

    Thats a guy who got burned at an auction or a storage locker and he has no idea what to do with them. Offer him 2-3 bucks each. Thats what i buy them for. Treat them the same as computers only on a smaller scale. Smaller hds, smaller mobos etc. unless you know how to fix them and you have an outlet to sell them, but even then i would be careful. It sounds like someone monkeyed with them already and knows that they are worthless.

    I just did a quick check on ebay, xbox 360 broken, in the sold area and found that the lowest price was $15 so I would buy them,at most, for half or less than that.

    My question to the seller would be do they all have hard drives and are the face plates included and in good condition? If the answer is no to any of those questions my offer would go down a lot.

    I don't see a great deal here but would be happy buying them as if they were scrap laptops at $3-$4 ea(which was already suggested). By buying at the scrap level you KNOW you will profit. Most profit is when you are prepared to walk away from the deal but don't fail to make the offer. This guy may be done buying auctions but he may turn into a good source for you.

    I find its important to establish youself with a potential supplier in the correct way. If you pay too much on the first few transactions you will find it difficult to get him to accept lower prices in the future. 73, Mike. KE4ILG
