Yeah except this time he started the bidding at $99 instead of $0.99 :mad:
yeah he sold the other one over $99 so he must have said why waste his time and get to the reall money or something like that. hahaha
First off I want to thank everyone who accepted my Friend Invite over Live this weekend. I promise all the photos I send will be of high moral value. I just wanted some of our memebers to see my "SpacePlates" in "Action".
That Massive plate has my eye, all the plates I bid on last week have arrived and my trigger finger is itchy. If you have your eye on it please PM me so we could work something out. I don't want Spacey to take time from finishing some of his commisions to come on here and make us play nice because we're flaming each other over a rare faceplate.
I'm at war already with some crazy German dude on Ebay. He came out on the losing end of a Special Ed. Halo 3 X-box faceplate and now my mail box is spammed with boast of his awesome collection and so on and so forth and I would just rather avoid all that here.
Let's keep the lines of dialog open and give peace a chance.

i was gunna go for it but i'll back off for my man ali. good luck.
You guys crack me up, lol.
I had someone contact me and said he had a new in pkg IdolM@ster plate, and then I haven't heard from him since then. That should be a criminal act. Felony teasing.
Oh and the "Ground Zero" guy is a goober. It was "Zero Hour" and it wasn't held at Edwards.
Here's my Costco card. Get yourself a clue, wholesale, goob.
should i not bid on it you think space?? i bid only $20 i think
this seems like it'd be a good place to put this. as i'm always looking out for you guys, if anyone is planning on buyin the UK gorillaz faceplate item number 140203999655 i had noticed the paint around the IR window and asked for a closer picture. this probably happened to a lot of the gorillaz plates though but it is one reason(along with the price!) that i, myself, am not going to bid on it. HEADS UP =p
Well all my God. Sweet jelly beans batman. I will be staying away from that faceplate.
When they painted them, there was a small piece of plastic covering the IR window. Most new plates have them. They didn't remove the plastic when they painted them so that you could remove the plastic later and the IR window would still be useable. If they had taken the plastic off, there would be paint on the window and it couldn't be used. Because of the rarity of the plates, most owners never put them on their Xboxes.
I wouldn't not hesitate a second to buy this plate because of that. There's too much detail, which already makes it more valuable than, say, a whilte plate with a faint swoop of color across it.
It's not a screw up. There's a reason it's like that, so I say go for it.
ya i was talking to him at school today he is busy and faceplates are taking way too much of his money right now. But dont fret i will beat the ***** (i did the censoring myself) out of him tomorrow to get back to the site and to take good pictures of his huge collection. He has tags06 and a few other goodies you guys dont know about.:whistle:
I sent him a PM too about three customs he was asking about: WTF, 300, and Halo w/ case and grenade.
Well another one day break in eBay listing fees can only mean one thing: gh0st_r1der is open for business! :)
Here's another seller that decided to offload a bunch of plates onto eBay (as well as some really cool Star Wars Swag!): rguerrera
Since there's been a few questions - the massive faceplate I'm selling on ebay is not connected to massive software but Massive Incorporated, a company Microsoft bought a few years back that serves ads into video games. My girlfriend works at a place that hosted an event they were involved with about a year ago. The faceplates were in swag bags they gave out and she got two. She gave me the plates before I even had a 360 actually. We've looked around her office but aren't expecting to find any more of these, so good luck bidding for it!
Oh I see.
well that answers alot of questions that have been coming up about it. Also thanks for taking the time to come on the site and telling use about it.

Eternal Sonata 5 Complete Faceplate VHTF, Extrm Rare
Item number: 350025568219
I think the Eternal Sonata faceplates are too expensive but that's just me.
Cool. I bid on an E3 plate the other day and DeafGermany was the other bidder, under another name. He called me an ass hole. Nice. I think we're cool now since I told him I didn't know he had a new name, but I'm never sure. I doubt we'll be seeing any DMC4 plates from Germany from him, though.
It's just a language thing, but I've only got so much patience, ya know?
Was I wrong about the germans and especially that one ? no!
Told you he is just a show off. But I have some nice punishment for him ... he is going to feel it, he he
I Try to do my part to keep the heads up Updated.

He does ship to the US.
That is fine by me. Everything I seem to hear about this guy is baaaad! I managed to snag a DMC faceplate from a UK seller who was kind enough to let me convince him to ship to the US! I probably slightly overpaid but I really don't care because I want it real bad :hump:

Heres my first post here about an actual heads up.
Aparently when Unreal Tournament III comes and you preorder it you get a nifty free faceplate.
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?...%5Fid=B200284A
I am worried:watchout: that it might be a skin like stranglehold's preorder but we might get lucky YA;)
Nah if it was a skin it would say skin not faceplate. Also you get a free faceplate if you preorder Universe at War. http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?...%5Fid=B200331A
They give you the plate when you pick up the game. So preordering it will guarantee that a plate gets to the store, but if you don't pick up the game, it's up to the store to decide who gets the plate. If you don't get your game within 48 hours, they can sell the game and let that guy have it.
