So, yesterday I found a guy who was looking to sell his old gaming PC that died..it had a P5K mobo, an E6550, 320GB WD Sata HD, 2 nice DVD Drives, 1GB of ram and a 7600GT in it. I assume the PSU died , maybe killed the mobo.. I told him I was looking to sell my netbook (if you remember, I bougt it for 100 dollars on black friday) which was barely used.. Its worth 300 in my eyes, so I pushed for 200 and the PC if I could get it working. After troubleshooting a bit I find that the videocard is what died, PC boots fine w/o the videocard in.... SThe guy is a complete ass smoking in my face etc so I decide to push a bit harder.. I ask for more! so we start to barter since the videocard is dead, PSU prob dead along w/mobo.. I ask for throwins.. He tosses me a 3FT HDMI Cable, and 20 extra bucks...while hes searching endlessly for 200 dollars he just got fromt he ATM (for like 10 mins..nice and awkward), and somehow lost in his room + 20 from his brother we keep talking and we decide to stop by the ATM for 20 more bucks and call it a deal. As we approach our vehicles he says, I'm pulling out 40 right?...what the hell am I supposed to say to that other than, yep!.. So now I'm sitting here with a PC that I could sell for 300 bucks no problem once i get Zorch's PSU in (lazy bastard) on top of 260 dollars in cash for a netbook I shelled 100 dollars for..good game...and if the mobo is dead, well, woopie I'll buy one for 60 bucks lol.

I won't even go into it, but the last of everything that needs shipped (quite a bit of stuff, more than you know) hits the post office today (including the PSU), and then I can sit back and drink in ASUS-y 890GX goodness that caused me to have such a fire sale in the first place. It dang well better be worth it. 
Oh, and congrats on fleecing a noob! Nice deal there.
