I was trying to think about what to do if the seller didn't accept my cancel request and I was fully prepared to delete my PayPal account and just never use eBay again.

That's pretty rough, but I'm sure you'll find another one! You probably shouldn't pay too much more than that either; I sold a PS3 with a broken disc drive (but working hard drive) for $35 two years ago. If you look around I'm sure you'll find one for a similar price or perhaps even less.

btw doesn't matter if seller accepts or not, at least here (ebay Germany) it is stated in the conditions that you can cancel an order if there is was an obvious mistake in bidding, forgetting the "." between numbers is, of course, also part of it.
Would be really strange if it wasn't like this in the US, too.

    A surge protector is a device that protects your electronics from fluctuations. I recommend having your console plugged into one of those
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    An UPS is even better because it has an internal battery that keeps your system on even if the power goes out, but it's much more expensive obviously
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh i recall seeing one in some in the houses of some relatives, including my dad's apartment
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, although whatever device we plug into them stops getting power anyways lol

    On the series s/x you can use a external HD but any next gen games must be on your internal ssd, or you can buy a ssd expansion card, but pricey. Any xbone, 360, or og Xbox games can be played from external tho.
