I also want to know what's the typical cost of fixing one, either by a 3rd party of if I were to do it myself. How much are the special tools, additional parts, replacements?

A RRoD XBOX 360 with HDD, all accessories, and good warranty seal, should run around 100$ or so on eBay. Give or take some. Elites would definitely cost more. If you buy a 360 without accessories, HDD, or a good warranty seal, you are going to pay less obviously.
It shouldn't cost you any money to fix them because with a good warranty seal, you should be sending them to Microsoft and making them do the work. :)
If you buy one without a warranty seal, you are going to need screws and washers for the x-clamp fix, thermal paste, etc to fix the 360. There are plenty of guides out there.

you can buy a complete system with RROD and a good seal on ebay for 60-70 all day long. there is no way i would pay 100 for one.

ok, that makes more sense then. i usually get the 20 gig ones unless i can find a 60 gig for cheap. almost had one, but some retard with a 3 feedback outbid me with 5 seconds to go, and never paid for it (according to the seller).

I'm guessing most peeps sell them on as Refurbished XBOX's

So most people state that they have had RROD and have been fixed etc, then sell them on ebay?
I doubt there's much money that could be made from that?

$50-$80 for fixing it. Out of curiosity how many hours does it normally take to fix the RROD?

If its the Xclamp fix, shouldn't be no more than a hour. If it needs a re-flow, I'm not sure how long that takes but you do need specific (expensive) kit.
I would recommend looking for ones that are quite new, with warranty sticker intact and let M$ do the hard work. There are quite a lot of peeps that do not know M$ have extended the warranty to 3 years for RROD.

Not a terrible return but equally not that good. However, for a student or someone trying to make a buck in the recession, it all helps

Gotta admit, I wouldnt bother. I could end up buying 5 un-reparable xboxs and lost a few hundred quid.

in the past two or three years ive been doing this and made some pretty good money at it. just have to keep your eye out for a good buy and make sure to ask the seller if the seal is intact and if the console has been opened. if they say no seal/opened dont even think about buying it.

Thanks. Might start doing it myself. If I can't fix it if it needs a reflow, I could always sell it on again.
