Want to buy a used XBOX on CraiglistS. I've heard horror stories about some of them and i don't want a lemon. So what questions should i ask the seller?

Here's one person selling their XBOX from today.

"I have a modded 360 with 2 wireless controllers and a xbox 360 media remote also comes with all cords and cat 5 cable and headset as well. also has 10 months of Xbox live gold. And xbox 360 20gb Hard drive Comes with 19 games. "

The Godfather
Marvel ultimate alliance
Call of Duty 3
modern Combat battlefield 2
NHL 07
Crackdown
Dead rising
Condemned
Fifa 2007
Lost Planet
Tomb Raider legend
kameo elements of power
Gears of War
Sonic the hedgehog
Tiger woods 2007
madden 2007
NBA 2K7
need for Speed Carbon
Test drive unlimited

THIS GUY WANTS $500. IS IT WORTH IT?

THANKS

take the price of the premium console 400 dollars, then multiply 60 times 19 that comes out to be 1140 dollars, so for 500 bucks you are getting 1540 dollars worth of stuff, do you think its worth it?

if you get what he says is there it is well worth every penny.
system $400
extra wireless controller $40
remote- no idea
19 games average of $45 each (some higer some lower)

If the games are copies, it's not worth it. Honestly, used copies on the net aren't worth squat. You won't know if your getting bad burns, crappy media, etc. Plus, the console is used. Maybe if it was a new mod.

Ask him
- What dvd drive is in the 360
- What firmware is installed
- What's the mfg date
- Will it include the original firmware on a disc

If the mfg date is too old, pass on it. You won't have any warrenty and too many of the older consoles are having hardware problems for you to take a risk on it.

and to expand on bhetrick's great post (didn't even consider that they may be copies, LOL. would not think anyone was that dumb)

If you can get it, you want one with a Samsung DVD drive running Extreme52 firmware. I think the MFG date on mine was like December 06
