Got this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=110255371360) cheap

got this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=110255075079) at a little more than i wanted to pay, but i wanted the controllers, plus DDR sells good on ebay (notice the free shipping :D)

and the final showpeice to this
check me out (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=250250421321)
it is labeled wrong (X Box, with a space) so it slipped under the radar
BUT thats not the best part, i payed 62.02 with shipping and it has 2 controllers, 7 actual DVD games, ohh yes, and when i turned it on today, it has a 400gb hdd AND an Xecuter2

thats what i call a good day in eBay
time to resell lol

ima keep the hardmodded one though.....



PS he sent it priority mail for 30 bucks, the guy only made 30 off the xbox

EDIT: the guy didnt have a G drive enabled..... he was only using 212gb.....
xecuter in PRISTINE condition, im loving this thing, now i dont have to lock my hdd everytime :D

it has DVD2Xbox 0.4.8.... WOWZERS
thats not the worst part, its got the ORIGINAL xbox media player, and version 1.0.0 XBMC

YAY (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=170226721897)
so i bought some drives for the xbox's (and some new xbox's)

these drives are AWESOME, they all work that i have tested (300 IDE, 250 SATA,160 IDE, 120 IDE, 40 SATA, and 80 IDE) and they had some trouble at first, but i got them into shape

i LOVE EBAY!

your Fing basterd how do you win those great auctions :o


Title: Re: i eBayed me some xboxes
Post by: GamezR2EZ on August 28, 2008, 11:10:21 AM
i watch 80 or 90 items at a time, ones that arent labeled right (ie "lof of" instead of "lot of")\ones in the wrong catagory\ones with no pictures\ ect ect

anything that looks like it might slip under the radar

oh and i wait to the last second to put in my bid as high as im willing to go

like had i bid on that drive yesterday, chances are it would have sold for 60-70 bucks, but i put in a bid of 65.09 at the very last second and it turns out the high bidder only had a bid of 42 on the item, so i won it for that much

lots of practice buddy

Ok so this is a new record even for me
An Xbox (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=300251434015) with 2 controllers and A\V & power cables + 500gb hard drive i just bought for under $100 shipped ($88 total to be exact)

thats pretty good i think, considering ill be selling this for over $150
speaking of which, anyone want to buy it for $150 :P

ok well i figured since this thread is already here... ;)
i wrote up there that i bought a 500gb and xbox with 2 controllers for 88$ shipped
i ended up putting 10 more in the xbox cuase the controllers were bad so i had to grab 2 more
so all in all i had around $100 in the xbox TOTAL

Check it OUT (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&item=130254962424)
65 bucks aint a bad deal, being all profit and i just put some time into it is all

i was only hoping for 150$ and i pay shipping, but in any case with all good comes bad stuff
the kid that bought it i swear must have been 12, he is all kinds of annoying. i originally built the xbox FOR him (never again, never again) and he BACKED OUTA THE FREAKIN' DEAL! it was going to be he buys the xbox for 150 i pay shipping, and he gets whatever apps he wants on it. and i configure it correctly (partition wise and all) not a bad deal i dont think, i still would have profited and he would have made out well
but NOOOO he keeps and more and more stuff finally i tell him how its going to go down and he says "well i guess i wont buy it"

so i set up an auction and HE BIDS AND WINS IT.... for 30 more than originally agreed upon. :| to quote jim carry 'LAWHOSAHURRR' what a moron. in any case the auction is for what its for, i did not expect that he would THEN make demands about the xbox

"Ok i want 2-3 day shipping
These apps
blah blah blah blah blah
and a memory card"

i said i wont do anything till im paid, so he FINALLY pays me and guess what? im not doing any of the crap he asked for cuase he was just that annoying. and im a good seller for anyone else i would have accommodated them on the apps and things, but for him, he is getting what is listed on teh auction, if he dont like it i dont care i got paid AND as far as ebay is concerned i was in teh right, i sent him what was listed

ugghhh anyway, why couldnt one of you guys have bought it ;)

in any case im outa the xbox game after that one, i got one in my room for movies and thats it for me

i now sell Wii's with this (http://wii.scorpei.com/Guides_external-TSSP.html) modification, i use it on mine all the time, a one time solder plug'n'play modchip solution w00t

k so im at the doctors again and he should be back anytime so ima go now

until next time
