So yesterday, I went to Salvation Army to make a few donations. I wasn't planing on going inside and looking around, but I had some extra time so I thought, why not. I found a CD I wanted and was in line, when I saw this lady holding something and looking at it with a puzzled look on her face. When I realized what it was I actually out loud went "oooooo!". The lady looked at me like I was crazy and she said, "I don't know what this is, I thought my son might like it". I said, "It's an interchangeable faceplate for the Xbox 360. They don't make them anymore and some are rare and collectible. In my free time I customize the ones I can find". The lady was nice enough to give it to me, and after I did a bit more research, I feel really lucky. I was in the right place at the right time. This is the faceplate I got (for $5!!!). (http://www.xboxaddict.com/faceplate-profile/113/TeamXbox.html) It was new, in the packaging, and the packaging had no barcode or anything on it. Here's a picture I took. (http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/268405_1934383635118_1108111354_32007232_6021920_n.jpg) So it seems like the TeamXbox faceplate is a little on the rare side, which is awesome! Just wanted to share this with you guys. Has anyone found this faceplate elsewhere? How much have you seen it sell for?

*EDIT: I just found one on eBay starting at $50!

If you're really lucky, you might sell one in the package for $50. More like $30-$35. Loose in great shape - $20-$35.
