Well it is craigslist if you were interested you could ask him if he could do less and offer $1,500-$2,000. I had a roommate in college that would fix the x-box 360s, he had probably 100 units laying around and fixed them up and sold 2-3 units per week. He said they were as easy to fix as a PC. I forget how he was able to do it but, he was able to return some of them to Microsoft under warranty. I dont think it is the same warranty as back then though. If you have worked with them before and know what you are doing it might be worth some a try but, if not I would just pass.
