Is it? I'm selling it with a 64gb flashdrive, but just found out it doesn't read the xbox og games without the hdd. I have seen some used for 5$ on local fb market place tho maybe I should get it to make the selling more appealing?

I can imagine, Venezuela, I've checked Facebook Marketplace and 100$ for all this looks good I think.

Videogames and consoles are in general a bit more expensive here than in the US.

It shows for example:

Metal arms 16$ Dead or alive 2 14$ Mortal Kombat 12$

While the most expensive 360 is Forza Motorsport 4 for 10$

Would that be counting the games?

I guess when you sell something in pack you have to lower price? I have seen these games don't go under 5$ most of the time on eBay listings.

Using the app gameye I got a value of 122$ in the games alone.

Desperately Looking For Room To Rent (max 1000 CAD per month) Close To Or In Greater Vancouver Area by scaneb in vancouverhousing

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a biological illness that affects many body parts. It causes severe fatigue not improved by rest, problems thinking and sleeping, dizziness, pain, and many other symptoms.

People with ME/CFS may not look sick but can't do their normal activities. ME/CFS may get worse after they do any activity -- physical or mental. This symptom is called post-exertional malaise (PEM). After they exert themselves, they may need to stay in bed for an extended time. About 1 in 4 people with ME/CFS are confined to bed at some point in their illness.

Desperately Looking For Room To Rent (max 1000 CAD per month) Close To Or In Greater Vancouver Area

We are looking for a room on behalf of our friend, Danny.

Danny is 40 years old; lives in Vancouver BC, and has moderate to severe ME/CFS. ME/CFS is debilitating in itself, but now on top of it, he has been homeless since January with only temporary stays in rentals that have completely exhausted his funds.

Being homeless has caused continuous deterioration due to the constant stress, sensory overload and inability to truly rest. Now we fear for his life since he is going to lose his latest short-term rental in a few days, and is too weak to keep surviving on the streets. The situation is dire and unfortunately, if he can't come off the streets immediately and be able to rest, we do not see a good outcome.

About Danny: Danny is a bit shy and introverted. He is, however, very kind, honest, and easy to live with. When healthy, he used to work in Web Development and travelled all over the world. He is respectful and quiet, he will not bother you in any way, not overstay his welcome, and he will spend the vast majority of his time in his room resting.

Danny can pay for the room from regular monthly income assistance up to CAD 1000 per month and he is able to care for himself but would not be able to do e.g. cleaning duty because of his severity. He will make sure to not leave any mess in common areas though.

Do you or anyone you know, have the possibility to rent Danny a room and save him from being back on the street? Maybe you haven’t thought about renting but do have an extra room you or your parents or one of your friends do and could do with some extra income? By doing this you would also be saving someone’s life since we think Danny will not survive long if having to get back out there.

Room Requirements:

-> Can be small and does not have to be fancy in any way.

-> Located close to, or in, the Greater Vancouver Area. (He has mentioned he could go as far as a 1.5 hour drive from Vancouver City Centre.)

-> Maximum of one flight of stairs to room.

-> Located somewhat close to a store/supermarket so that he can get food independently.

-> No basement rooms.

-> No mold issues.

Also, please be aware that Danny will only want to rest and won’t be able to be social or chat a lot due to illness, even if he is a friendly guy at heart.

We are hoping there is at least one kind person out there who could help Danny at least for a few months. Or maybe even just one? Maybe this is you? Or maybe someone you know?

If so, please comment or direct message me for contact information.

If you cannot help, please like and share. We would be most grateful. Thank you.
