I got a Wii "as-is" off e-bay. It came with everything but it said it had trouble accepting disc's
Anyway when it arrived everything in the box was BRAND NEW save the console itself.
Like someone had bought a new Wii when theirs broke, switched out the deck and returned it.
Anyway I had it fixed in less then 2 hours. Working perfect now only cost me $150!

Sounds pretty cool. I like the drums.
My best recent deal was the box I nabbed off of Craigslist for 30 bucks that contained:
2 working psones w/ 1controller
1 working PS1s
1 working Dreamcast w/ 1 contoller
1 working Gamecube w/ 1 controller
1 working N64
1 working Snes w/ 1 controller
Various required cords plus an oddity or two (composite to coax adapter, for instance)
Enough to keep my portable hobby busy for quite some time, though I really would like to do a PS2 portable after my N64's done.

I got an ipod 4th gen with a smashed lcd for $35. My friend's mom ran over it with a honda pilot. Fixed the ipod and sold it back to him for $70.
I also got a ps2 slim that supposedly does not read disks (no way to test though) for $10.
Yesterday my grandparents were looking through their basement and found a 1970's junior electronics kit to teach kidsabout resistors, caps, and how they work. The thing belonged to my uncle hey think. It will be fun to play around with it.
Also, a few days ago, my other grandfather was looking in his garage and found two 1970s police scanners and gave them to me. Will be cool to use as soon as I scrape all the thick brown mold off of them.
