About a month after his Xbox broke I started offering him "50 bucks! I'll give you 50 bucks for your dead box!"
What started as a joke on my part -- and got a "whatever!" from Bells -- slowly became more and more serious. Finally, after 6 months, I bought his machine for 50 bones. He got a spanking new machine for Christmas and I had a working machine in just over a week. Of course I did have to make that phone call.
True story.
