Thread: Heads Up!

  1. #1341

    Default

    Hey, all.

    Been kinda quiet lately. Faceplates have slowed down because of the new console. I'm still going to CSUB full time, plus I started a campus organization called "Campus Gamers". We've been doing midnight opening events and a community library event. We have an education and gaming symposium coming up next spring. CSUB and Campus Gamers are taking a huge amount of my time. My site, Kinecticon, has been mostly ignored because of other things consuming my time.

    Anyway, CSUB is out for the year. There's no club stuff until January, except things I need to do to keep the symposium happening. I need to give my site some TLC. But, once Thanksgiving weekend is over, I'm going to try to add some more faceplates to the database. I have quite a few left to add. Once they're in, I'll ask if anyone knows of one that didn't make it, and I'll add those, too.

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

    here's some interesting finds(since nobody seems to post anymore).

    This guy has/had some NICE stuff:
    Xbox 360 Germany "Urban" & "TAGS 06" LTD ED.Rare faceplate inside holder
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Xbox-360-Ger...item2317183dc8

    AT&T blueroom plate:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Xbox-360-MAD...item256a07f230

    Factory sealed FAKE E3(if that's what it's called)
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-OR...item3a6d5f4524

    NFS Prostreet faceplate(note:this has been relisted like 10 times already[not sold] and keeps raising/lowering the price, I won't buy it as i think it's TOO expense still)
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/320800910134...84.m1438.l2649

    The NFS Pro Street plates were changing hands left and right for $100 for a while. This is half that. There are only supposed to me 100 of them. I think it's a good price. (I wouldn't sell mine for that cheap.)

    "Fake E3" is really just "Asian Knockoff." Microsoft's marketing used those green circles for everything, so it has them in common with the E3 plate, but since it doesn't also have the wording, I wouldn't call it a bootleg or a "fake E3." It's true that there are probably fewer of those than the 5,000 E3 plates made by Microsoft, but the reason for the interest in the E3 plates is because they are the faceplates best known by the largest number of people. It was the first non-white plate seen widely by the public so when people think of non-standard plates, it's the one they think of. Since it's "official", that increases its demand, too.

    Unless you could get the Asian plate dirt cheap, I wouldn't do it.

    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.

    Yeah, I really want that '08 faceplate. I thought someone on the XBLA "Gameroom" team was going to try to get one for me, but I never heard anything back. I "watched" the auction, but I already had to pass on another plate I wanted really badly. Plates are showing up left and right and I don't have the $ to get all the ones I want.

    Curse you, money gods! *shakes fist

    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.

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

    Arcade 2009 plate down to 54.99$ now with a buy it now of 62.99$. I'll continue to lower it every few days until it sells. This is now cheaper than the one that sold a few weeks ago.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...:L:LCA:US:1123

    Relisted once more.
    Bid = 49.99$ - Buy it now = 54.99$
