What is the deal with these? I was unaware they made two different plates?

First, WSU is a good guy so bid away.

Second, we discussed this once and didn't come to a conclusion. We're not sure if there's a normal amount of variation or if they were made at two different factories so there was a slight difference in the paint op.

If this was Star Wars figures, they'd have names for the variants, and if they could narrow one down as being less common than the other, everybody would chase the rare one and forget the other one. I don't think this is a big deal, but if you're a hardcore collector, here's a chance to get both.

Thanks Space. Certainly I am not a hard core collector. I just want this particular plate for my 360. As you have previously stated this is not that uncommon of a plate so I am hesitant to pay that much for it. Do you see that variant come up much?

Well I have bid it over 70 and am wondering how high I should go. I have seen some more rare plates go for less. I guess my point is that I want the plate to use not to collect. I should have some limit. Hmm.. maybe 100

It's how much you want to spend. What is the plate worth to you.

You're calling names, again. Are you not aware at all when you do that?

$70 for the two isn't a bad price. I don't know how often a variant comes up because when I see one, I don't usually take note of which one it is. Like I said about the Star Wars stuff, we recognize there's a distinction, but unlike SW collectors, we haven't really determined a difference in value because of it so we don't pay too much attention to it.

he was the only one who would ever make a thread bragging about how he got a rare plate for cheap, i aint being mean but he did, also anything more than 70 is bad i saw a gow e3 plate go for 65 so anything over 70 is ridiculous

I don't know. Seems like a lot for a plate that I am going to just open up and put on my 360. Still I have been looking.

I've paid ridiculous money for something I wanted, more than once.

There's a whole thread for "Dealz!" which is a place to show off good stuff you get, cheap. This whole forum is a place to brag about what you've got in your collection. Everybody in here is a braggart of some sort.

No offense but isn't that the only kind of post you create? pointless or attempting to cause a fight

I mean this thread was going along nicely until you posted in it.

Hey, he apologized and then you threw fuel on the fire by (ironically) posting something pointless and attempting to (re)start a fight.

Just chill out - the Mods will handle those that step out of line.

You are of course correct Game. It just seems like whenever I post he comes in and pees on my corn flakes and I just grow tired of it. I haven't done anything to anyone and he consistently jumps in and adds nothing to the thread other than insults and cutdowns. I should learn to not feed the trolls. I just won't respond to him again.
My apologies.

First off, listen closely, ITS A FORUM ON THE INTERNET. There are worse things in life and if you're stressin over someone coming in and leaving posts on your thread that you don't like, then wow, I hate to see what you would have to do when faced w/ something really horrible. You say you just grow tired of it, well guess what, YOU'LL ALWAYS find someone like that on ANY FORUM. Thats why we have mods to help try and regulate some form of stability on these forums. CALM yourself. "Wooooooo saaaaaaa" seriously. lol I've been flamed before and at the end of the day I thought to myself "its an internet forum, woopie". LOL Now the political arena is where I get heated. Just relax man and have faith in the mods.
