Canadian Launch Plate, just like the ones we're giving away (three of them, anyway) except this one is framed. The Xbox.ca offices have #1 of 158 displayed on their wall. The three plates we are giving away are not framed.

I am VERY interested in seeing if this goes for the thousand dollars I think it will.

Hey I've been MIA from here for like 2 weeks working like a dog to pay for my faceplate addiction... I swear this is more expensive than crack and twice as addictive! :rofl:
lol I guess I'm glad I'm on the short-list of people that Jak thinks could afford a 1k per pop hobby. :p

GK, wanted to let you know that I forgot to put the glider in with your faceplate. I should have more plates to send you before CC so I'll put it in with those. I need to make one more sticker before I can do the VGL plates.

Hang in there!!! Kamshaft's random prize winner picker3000 might draw your name for one of the ones that is a prize for the database launch contest. Go enter if you haven't already. (and if i win one, i'll sell it to you for a reasonable price :) cause i don't collect faceplates, i'm just a groupie)

Thank you, I dam near threw my computer out the F**** window when that happened. I contacted ebay b/c the time of the bid was identical and I submitted a screen capture w/ NO TIME LEFT and it showed ME as the high bidder. Ebay told me that even though an auction closes, it still leaves time to bid. I responded back w/ why if the auction closes, can there still be bidding?!?!??!? He had no reply, and then I told him that maybe I should dl a sniping program so this doesn't happen to me anymore, and his exact words were "I'm not saying you should, but you can.." OOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HAD SAVED AND SAVED AND SAVED AND MADE SURE I HAD AMPLE MONEY AVAILABLE, I MEAN HELL I JUST GOT PAID TODAY $1,865.43 AND B/C MY CHECK DIDN'T GO INTO MY ACCOUNT IN TIME ALL I HAD SAVED WAS WHAT I HAD MY BID FOR AND THEN SOME F******** FROM GERMANY WHO DIDN'T PUT IN 1 BID AT ALL, DL'S A PROGRAM AND THEN..... OHHHHHHHHHHHHH SORRY MY BLOODPRESSURE IS STARTING TO SOAR AGAIN..... OOOHHHHHHHHHH FFFFFFFFF************************************************* ********************************************************

Thanks, thats the reason why I bid on this so that way if I didn't get picked at least I still have the faceplate, and someone else would then have the chance to get it. I swear.........................................

It's times like this I'm glad all of my money is going to Spacey and my new car. I snipe bid like that and the last time I did it on a high profile faceplate like this one I was on the receiving end of a rant like that.
I've been in your shoes before too so I know how you feel. At least you know there's a chance you might get one for free in the contest here - that's what I'm counting on. :cool:

Yeah, I was pretty pissed too. Went to bid at the end and got stopped with a notice that the item may not ship to US. That little click to say that I still want to bid made me miss out. I was so irritated. Oh well, someday...

eBay should be set up so that any bid in the last thirty seconds adds thirty seconds onto the ending time. It would be in their benefit to do so since it would result in higher ending amounts. I still bet this would have gone for a thousand dollars if it hadn't gotten so crowded there at the end.

For real, I've been snipped so many times I don't deal with auctions anymore unless thats the only way I've found it. I prefer Buy it now.

I had worked out shipping with the seller before the ending of the auction, which made me steam even harder when some f***stick from germany turned on his b.s. sniping program and went to town.

Nope it wasn't. I have never ranted about being sniped. However somebody did attack me about sniping a custom Oblivion faceplate. I don't remember who it was anymore cause it seems like it was forever ago :confused:
