My ps4. It cost me $100 because they thought it was broken. Turns out there tv just crapped the bed and stopped displaying the appropriate resolution....

 

[RetroBitMig]

I got a replica of Angus Young's (from AC/DC) guitar from a former band mate for 5$. It's a beauty.

Some dumbass at a garage sale sold me a pearl-white Game Boy Advance SP for 75¢ because "it was broken".

They literally just didn't know how to charge it. Minutes after I brought it home, I was playing Mario and Pokemon without a hitch.

It proceeded to last me almost 10 years. It was actually very recently that it decided to stop working properly. RIP.

(audio still works though, so that's cool I guess)

Can't you just replace the screen?

Can't you just replace the screen?

I don't really care about it that much. Every platform ever can emulate it, and the only save file I cared about (my Pokémon Emerald replaythrough save, which wasn't even halfway through the game) died not too long before. So I just keep it as a remembrance of the past, I guess.

Edit: Also, I just asked my mom if she remembered when that happened, and she said that I remembered the price wrong. It wasn't 75¢, it was 25¢. So it's an even better value.

 

[The Catboy]

I was able to score The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Collector's Edition), with the box and manual for 15$ at a Flee Market. It wasn't labelled and the guy who sold it to me was just covering for their friend, so I was able to get it for 15$ because he didn't know what he was selling.

 

[Bubsy Bobcat]

A PS1 with 6 games (one of them being a complete black label copy of Spyro YOTD) for £30.

 

[Davidosky99]

A Wii, with 2 controllers+nunchucks+GC Controller+2 GB sd card+cables for 25 euros

Got a 2DS on eBay for £25 because it was faulty and didn't read carts. Turns out it read carts and was fully functional
