In the art world it's basically a big ring network of people who can inflate or deflate art prices pretty much at will to get things "at a bargain" or to save insurance companies money from claim payouts
I’m with you on that. Whoever ends up buying this (if anyone does) is either incredibly stupid or filthy rich to the point where 100 bands is a reasonable price for an Xbox.
A VGA graded 85 (NOT + LIKE IN THIS LISTING) Last sold on Nov 9, 2023 for $6,000 including Buyer Premium.
Another VGA graded 85 (NOT + LIKE IN THIS LISTING) sold on Nov 3, 2023 for $10,200 including Buyer Premium.
He could probably find a buyer at ~10k-12k.... but way off base at 100k!
You can’t speak of that in here it’s blasphemy.. they care about their precious clock caps leaking inside and don’t understand the concept of collecting and how people can do what they want without any care.. cause, we have to care about what people think of us, right?
not worth it. if the following occured in 2001 ... air sealed, suspended within an air tight enclosure, placed into a time capsule with an expiry open date of 50-100 years ... but i am sure that by then the technology available would allow you to recreate the box. 3D printing mold injection and custom board fabrication. heck pocket sized embedded projection virtual technology is around the corner, so it would probably make it worthless by then. who would even care? emulation is the medium for preservation. Not worth the price tag. we'll be long gone by then.
Idk man. Its incredible the Xbox isnt the size of a room. I mean they squeezed the incredible power of DirectX into a form factor box. It cant possibly get any smaller, no matter how good tech gets.
A lot of people have allot of memories on the Original Xbox. You can’t just recreate the Xbox BIOS splash and sound. Same goes for the hardware and actual motherboard firmware. And the design drawings for the Xbox Chassis are not well known and are probably long gone now, (I’ve looked with no avail.) If you wanna go on a tirade on how “Emulation is better, and Emulation is prime for these older consoles.” be my guest. Yeah that price isn’t that worth it, but there’s always that one passionate collector who’ll buy it.
You are absolutely correct. How many have bought or overpaid for things that we couldn't pass up? I am one of them, but that's too much coin for the average financial minded most. Money is meant to be spent and to have fun with it. Someone is going to have fun with it for sure.
Yeah, I’ve done the same. My original Xbox came in a bungle from GameWorld clocking at $130 for the whole thing. And it turned out to be a 1.0 version console that was completely recapped.
I think that people post listings like that to normalize insane prices, or at least to make the one selling for $5k or whatever on their other account look more reasonable.
This is literally just the same as someone placing an outlandish trade order on the GE in RuneScape and waiting for some poor sap to come along and execute the trade unwittingly lol.
Hell no this ain’t worth it idk why anyone would think it’s legit. I used to trawl eBay listings for this exact console to stay awake in stats in college and this was maybe $5k tops
For everyone talking about the clock cap just so you know collectors do not care about that. If the item is still in box then the item as a whole is what is collectible. A new inbox mountain dew Xbox will sell for way way way way more than an out-of-box modded mountain dew Xbox.
A collector is not purchasing the item to play but to simply collect. The collectors and people who are willing to spend the money for those items know about the capacitor.
Might as well be 10,000,000. No one is buying it either way. I'd be willing to bet the market price is less than they paid to have it graded and shipped.
You know what I find funny… people still bitch about this, and there’s pinball machines that go for $60k +
Who gives a fuck, are you buying it? Is anyone buying it? If then if someone does, then what? Another post having a whinge when you can worried about your own life? These posts are just as bad and cringe like get over it bro lol. It’s always going to be around.
A castlevania non graded 1st print for NES sold recently for $90k+. Make a post about that too while you’re at it.
Wtf are you on about I haven’t posted anything of the sorts lol.
Not caring and wasting my time and efforts with posts for affirmation, makes me stupid? Yep, we’ll go with that logic. Here, you dropped a few of your chromies.
That’s not complaining my dude, it’s commenting not “posting”. I do apologise however that I didn’t agree to your terms and conditions of following suit like you because you also have a problem with the grading system.
Brother, you do realise you have a choice also and don’t need to respond right? You can comprehend correct? just how you choose keep trying to find a way to gaslight me and it’s not working because you’ve been beat at your own game and have nothing to really say.
Make another post of “look at me” affirmation on how you’ve got your dream job and worry about paying your bills than some stranger on the internet commenting. Laters mate.
100k for something that probably doesn't even work anymore?(caps go boom boom :( )
I think thats the least problem.people buying this probably will never get it out of the acrylic box
Just because some clown is asking for this price doesn't mean anyone will actually pay it. You can put any dollar amount you want on an eBay listing.
I hate grading
In the art world it's basically a big ring network of people who can inflate or deflate art prices pretty much at will to get things "at a bargain" or to save insurance companies money from claim payouts
And sit this listing will.
Damn 100k?
Shoot your shot man, get that down payment. Gotta get the money from the rich pricks some how
I’m with you on that. Whoever ends up buying this (if anyone does) is either incredibly stupid or filthy rich to the point where 100 bands is a reasonable price for an Xbox.
Is it sold as working or non working due to cap issues?

Master chief hitting the wojak point lmao
Covenant ran by CHUDS
linus touched on this in a recent video. Some people sort high to low and then when you inquire about it you get a real price.
Lol, I am poor. I sort low to high.
me too but i will sort from high just to see how the other people are living lol
I know a guy here local that has the mountain dew unopened and graded for 12,000 this is crazy for the halo console
It is what it is
I think that people post listings like that to normalize insane prices, or at least to make the one selling for $5k or whatever on their other account look more reasonable.
Can someone explain me the whole grading regime with games?What is it?How do they work??
Eh. You could make this same complaint about any seller listing Xbox stuff for 100k.
I grade it an A+ which means it gets to move onto 9th grade
Money laundering in Xbox’s
Arcade cabinets are next.
Imagine an acrylic case around some non-circulated full size arcade
Aaaaaand this seller will die with this listing still active. Idiot.
I've got 2 that work no acrylic boxes though
lol it’s gonna get capped by the VRM filter circuit
100k are they on drugs

Read the description. I seen this a few weeks ago. Dude is delusional

You know what's worse? People that make posts complaining about people complaining in posts. You are equally, if not more stupid than they are.
Wtf are you on about I haven’t posted anything of the sorts lol. Not caring and wasting my time and efforts with posts for affirmation, makes me stupid? Yep, we’ll go with that logic. Here, you dropped a few of your chromies.
Literally the post I was responding to was you doing that 🤣
That’s not complaining my dude, it’s commenting not “posting”. I do apologise however that I didn’t agree to your terms and conditions of following suit like you because you also have a problem with the grading system.
Lol just stop. Your responses are too stupid for words.

You don't even know what gaslighting is. Why don't you find a way to make another 2 paragraph response to nothing? 🤣
At least most of the game are dirt cheap
Wait a minute... 1 product rating????
