My man IS on the path to fiancial freedom!

September 25th, 2008 at 03:20 pm

Ok, I know someone out there has a husband who builds/resells gaming electronics.

I was cleaning behind our TV yesterday and came across an XBox controller. For the OLD xbox- not the 360. It is green with the cord attached...just dusty. Baseball boy told me to toss it.

Can I sell it on eBay? Is there a market for it? I tried to look it up on ebay but typing in 'xbox controller' brought up NEW controllers. Is it worth anything?

In other news- eBay is making me some money. I added $400 to my house fund yesterday, and more is coming...I am quickly replenishing the $3400 I 'borrowed' to pay off the credit card. Just this wedding next month- things/finances are getting blurry. Glad it will be done and business as normal in 6 weeks!

AND! The charts on the fridge are WORKING! I have posted:
1 chart of our daily spending totals
1 chart of our wedding expenses
1 chart of our house fund balance...
Yesterday BB was looking at the fridge and says "Hey! We have not had a No Spend Day this month!" I was overjoyed. Truly. I am still smiling.

    I think monkeymama has blogged about her DH reselling video game systems, that might be the person you're thinking of.

    Maybe you can search Ebay listings for that specific controller... I think the original ones were called either "Duke" or "S", depending on when it was purchased. You can tell by how the buttons are laid out, might be something worth googling.

    Looks like BB is catching on! Smile

    Yes, MonkeyMama is the one.

    Sounds like baseball boy is a "stats man" ... seeing the numbers in black & white is obviously having a positive impact. Great!

    Yea for your BaseBall Man!!! It's always thrilling to find out their listening, isn't it? Sounds like you are making great progress. I always enjoy reading your posts.

    MMmmm... old Xbox stuff?

    There's a market for it... but a very small one that probably won't net you much at all. The original Xbox is considered an out-dated system.

    You could try going to GameStop and see how much they'll take it off your hands. Probably not much at all, but at least you don't have to deal with shipping it. If there are smaller game stores, you might get a bit more there.

    Why not put it on Craigslist? That way your not out anything. Maybe if you can't sell it you could trade it for something.

    My dh says it is worthless.

    But if you want to be environmentally conscious you can always offer it for free on Craigslist.

    Doubtful you'd find a buyer.

    The game store idea is good as well.
