Thread: MUST READ - Major plate deal. Srs. UPDATED 4/23

    Default MUST READ - Major plate deal. Srs. UPDATED 4/23

    These are for sale. I will still sell as a lot, but individual pieces are starting to move. The Us "I Made This" Launch Team, autographed Red Dead Redemption, autographed Fable III and autographed Street Fighter IV Yoshinori Ono plates are sold. The seven Halo plates are sold. The Korean Launch and Trusty Bell (*sob*) are sold. Most other plates in the large photos are still available. There are a couple of additions and a couple of subtractions but not out of the bigger plates.

    If you're interested, please drop me an email at mredwebb at gmail dot com. I can get that better on my phone than here, facebook, xbox live, etc. That's my PayPal email now, too.

    Discounts get bigger as number of plates gets bigger. Spend more than $100 and I'll ship them to you for free, even if you're international. Look at the stuff on eBay right now. Some of these plates you may never, ever see for sale again from anyone.

    I listed suggested value next to these plates, but will consider all offers. Also, look at the photos for hundreds of other plates not listed and we can discuss a price.

    ** END EDIT **

    I owe some money to someone who very graciously loaned it to me in a pinch, AND I'm getting married (Change to "GOT married" ), AND I just moved, AND while I have the space to display them, I can't abuse my landlord's walls like I abused my own.

    I know that there are a handful of people in here who will drop $2,000, $3,500 - even $5,000 on a single console.

    So what I want to know is, what would one of you be willing to pay for my entire collection?

    A few months ago, I cataloged my collection.

    I had 370 faceplates.

    I broke them down into 25 lots that ranged from $420 per lot to $1,100 per lot.

    The total value of the collection is $18,000.

    There are 19 plates worth over $200 per plate. Those 19 plates are worth just short of $5,000. JUST NINETEEN PLATES out of 375.

    There are 69 plates worth at least $100 each.

    Here's a list of the most significant plates in the collection:

    Swedish Launch 89/100 24k gold leaf with velvet bag - $500

    I have had enormous fun collecting these plates and making plates for the countless people who have become my friends. I am thankful for the appreciation you have show me, through my efforts to publicize the hobby through interviews, and for the work I did putting together the database. I am getting married at the end of March, and I'm already moved into the place I will be sharing with my future wife. The cost, in money and space and energy (my own) is enormous for just the move, and I have a wedding to pay for, too. I have people who need money from me and this is one of the last remaining assets I have. I was sad to part with my figures, and I will be sadder still to part with these because I had such an impact on the hobby - I merely collected figures.

    Please. For the cost of two nice consoles you could have one of the world's premiere collections of almost 400 faceplates. Only one collection has ever been sold like this before - Sean's - and this collection currently dwarfs that one by a wide margin. I can even work out a payment plan over a few months if necessary as long as we could get it started ASAP.

    Email me (preferably) or PM me. Thank you.

    Original post has been updated.

    The collection is now available as individual plates or as a whole with whatever plates remain. Actual value $18,000. I will eBay only as a last resort. Would prefer to offer them to other collectors through here and give you the discount eBay would have helped themselves to.

    If I get an offer of $5,000 for the entire thing, I will accept counter offers for one week before closing the offers and considering it sold.

    I listed the seven Halo faceplates on eBay:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-Xbox-360-Ha...item20b78c3a1c

    It includes the original Microsoft Halo plate signed by three members of Bungie, the four MadCatz plates, the Singapore Launch plate and a Halo Reach custom. It's currently at $100 (the Singapore plate alone is worth that) with 150 page views and 13 watchers. BS Angel from 343, Cortana, Good Games Media and more have linked to the site from their own sites.

    Few more plates have sold. Chris Erickson aka Avid Xero from GetFitGamer is going to plug them on his Youtube channel. That should give this a kick in the pants.

    I Made This

    What's the status on the plate? I'm VERY interested in one!
    I've been in love with them ever since Major Nelson showed them off.

    I should have updated it. The "I Made This" plate has been sold.

    I sold a couple more plates so I took the opportunity to update the list.

    Main thing: I put an eBay auction together with Batman, Robin and Hulk signed plates, and dropped the price fifty bucks.

    The Batman and Robin plates sold to a DC collector, who passed on the Hulk plate.

    I'm going to E3 in a month and it's time to reserve hotels and such. If anyone wants to help fund the trip and pick up some hard-to-find stuff, now's the time.

    I'm thinking about taking three or four of the rarest plates and putting them on eBay to see what they do. I hate to thin out my collection like that, though. rather keep them in the collecting community. Some collectors might never see these again.
