Heads Up!

Decided to finally sell my rare XBL Arcade faceplates. Sorry, not sure how much they're actually worth (they are next to impossible to find), so I started a little high there since they are very collectable. I'll lower it as needed.

Here they are!

Xbox LIVE Arcade 2008 faceplate:

Xbox LIVE Arcade 2009 faceplate:

did you look at the post previous to yours? that 2009 plate finished at less than half of what you are asking.

Total with shipping though, theirs was 60$ (40$ difference). Mine is at 100$ with free shipping. Mine is also in better condition than the first guy's - his was "used", mine has never been placed on an Xbox, let alone out of the package. And just because there was ONE sold lately for cheaper doesn't mean mine is worth only that amount - there's not too many of these period.

I also saw this though earlier in the thread:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Xbox-360-Xbox-LI...#ht_500wt_1156

So that one sold for the exact same amount that I'm asking. It's a year later but does that mean it's less valuable.. or more? I'm not greedy, but I do want to be cautious and not waste any money that I can definetely use. I'll lower it if it turns out to be a little high, but given it's condition, I think this is reasonable and fair price.

The amount of people "using" the old style Xbox 360 who might be looking for a plate is shrinking. The number of collectors is shrinking. As people sell stuff off, demand is satisfied and prices drop. So yes, things are much cheaper than they were last year. There's still no problem with asking for what you want, and if you don't get it, drop the price later. In the case of the 2008, I'd pay $100 for it. I just don't have it right now.

This is the "Fuego" faceplate from Microsoft. Here's the thing. I think this is a stock photo. the one the guy is selling might be thins one, in which case it's a crazy steal. Or, it might be the Asian knockoff. The MSFT plate has a black USB door and the thin lines around the flames. The Asian knockoff has the flames printed on the USB door and no thin lines - only the flames.

I would contact them to make sure which version they're actually selling. It's a reasonable price even for the knockoff, but it's a crazy low price if it's one of the MSFT plates. They were never available for sale, so it's either a prototype that was at a show, or maybe this is the manufacturer of the original plate.

The 2008 XBL Arcade plate sold (for $105).

The 2009 XBL Arcade plate relisted (took $20 off this time):

They replied to me, not Fuego. USB door NOT black, it has the flames design. Might be the knockoff.
