psone screen @ The Exchange: $ 20-25

Post by Sweebez »

Hey, just thought I'd let you know of a great deal I found at a place called The Exchange. I dont know if there are any outside of Ohio, but seeing as there are a significant amount of people here that DO live in Ohio, I thought I'd give a heads up. (For those who don't know, The Exchange is like a buy-sell-trade store for games and old records.)

Every so often, they'll sell a psone with screen and memory card combo for $40-50 (a great deal in itself). However, they sell a psone and memory card WITHOUT the screen for $25-30.

Here's what you do. Go up to one of the guys and explain to them:

50.00 --- psone with screen and memory card
minus
25.00 --- psone with memory card
===============================
20.00 --- psone screen!!!!

Having looked on ebay forever, and having no luck finding a cheap one, I thought I'd share that experience for anyone who will benefit. This may work for similar buy-sell-trade stores, but i KNOW it works at The Exchange.

They always sell the PSOne with the screen for $50-70. I will have to look out for it.

The one I found it at was the one in medina, on pearl road. Also, Luc, I'd wait if you were going to that one, seeing as I bought their last screen. It probably works at any of them though.

You're making me sad, because I live in the middle of a wheat field. :(

GameStop also has a deal like this, only their PSOne screens are $25 new. Only a handful of stores have 'em, but they're out there.

Also, anyone heard of McVan's? It's a used video game store that I visited in Illinois, and it was really sweet. I've got one up here in Michigan (although it's an hour away from me :cry: ) I also have a place called The Toy Box, a used game store. Is it a chain?
