xbox availibilty

Now that the xbox 360 is out, the original xbox has been less and less available but it's still a great cheap way to get halo 2. Where could I get an xbox from a trusting reliable store (not ebay!)

One special was 99 bucks. I think they are now 129. It works so would that qualify as "good condition"?

Some go a little nuts over a scratch in the plastic.

Check the description, carefully examine the pictures, and ask the seller 10,000 overly specific nit-picky questions about the system's condition so they can't find a way to dance around the truth if there's something wrong with it.
