 | Quarter RROD error- E74 message, might be looking to buy used one - acgeaux129 on 5/16/13 at 7:26 pm
Is it a lost cause to use 3rd party repairs? MS of course wants to charge me $100. I'm a first-timer...not sure how to proceed.
Also, anyone looking to sell an old XBox? I searched and saw Scruffy posted that he was willing to sell one for $60 about 3 weeks ago. Any others willing to sell theirs ...

Planning a trip to Europe and as an OT poor, I am looking to minimize costs. Transcontinental fare alterations could of course mean the difference between checking out Barcelona or not. I have zero clue how hedging, etc., works from the standpoint of an airline. How good of a proxy would WTI price ...
