PS1 for $2.99 and PS2 for $3.99. Both worked great and the PS1 case is looking pretty good

I preordered a Wii U before they were released @ Toysrus.com thinking they'd sell out like a Wii, and checked out via PayPal. The way preordering works w/Toysrus.com and PayPal is they don't charge your PayPal account until things are shipped...

Eventually I never received any sort of email that it shipped, and the PayPal transaction said that the funds were never charged....but I got the Wii U

TLDR: Got a free Wii U from Toysrus.com

Beat this:-

NES with zapper, 2 controllers(official), 7 games including super Mario Bros 1 and 3, both Zelda games (one was special gold cart), and the 3 in 1 duck hunt cart. Can't remember the other games since I thought it a steal for £5 in car boot sale.

Also once bought 4 original Xbox for £2. Not £2 each that's £2 for all 4. They were sold as faulty(only 1 of them actually faulty but fixed it with the hot swap soft mod, piece of piss). Couple of hours later all 4 were running xbmc :).

Plus not actually a game or console but working for a school has allowed me first dibs on outdated technology and over the years I've accumulated more than 20 PC's, equal amount of printers, hubs and Ethernet switches (industrial standard), Wifi repeaters and hubs, as much coaxial cable as I like, and cat5 the same, plus a smart board, monitors and 8 projectors all for sweet FA(I like technology, especially networks). I've had my own personal LAN since 1990's.

Schools / College's / University's are the best places to work for free gadgets!

Well my experience revolves around sentimental value more than materialistic value. I was about seven, still lived in france at the time, and my parents got me pokemon silver at at a "brocante" (an outdoor seconde hand trade event) for 3€. God that game created some lovely memories :)
300th post! :D

$80 for a 11.0.33 U o3DS + StarFox 64 3D, Advance Wars Days of Ruin, Exit DS, Worms 2 Open Warfare, charger and charging cradle. Guess I'm going to train up and learn soldering to downgrade the o3DS to flip the system and games...
