Check to see if there are any stores in your city/town that are used consoles / trading stores. I currently work at one of those stores and I take in old consoles from customers and I test them, clean them, and sell them in my store. You can trust the ones we sell as well since they are thoroughly tested and formatted. Stores like mine usually sell games for the consoles as well so its a pretty neat deal. Better than a pawn shop lol

I work at a used game store and we clean/test/price consoles. Surprisingly enough the best model (IMO) is the 360 S 250gb HDMI. It ends up going for about $90 CAD with cords and controllers.

If the system is an Acrade/Elite I highly recommend you do not buy it as it has a terrible shelf life. If it works one day it won't work the next. Super unpredictable.

Buying from a friend I recommend you test it thoroughly and if you buy it to clean out the inside, that shit gets really nasty. Also buying a new AC cord can up the performance a lot as well. Good luck
