Would have given you 500 on the spot.

t to the maxx2 · 11-22-2005, 10:09 AM

I know, I was so pissed. It isnt 450 for the system, it was 450 for the RIGHT TO BUY IT. I just wish I kept it, its going so high on ebay!

DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 · 11-22-2005, 11:07 AM

Why? Why? Why? Just to have it before Christmas? Or so they can give it as a gift? I don't get it. Why does anyone pay over list for anything? Remember the PT Cruiser release frenzy? $25,000 for a $18,000 car??? Same thing here....$450 to buy a $400 system?

BTW I have a CRXT Limited Edition Kit to sell, PM me about it.....

Mr. Tune · 11-22-2005, 02:59 PM

Joe, were you really out there?

FreeRideFrosty · 11-22-2005, 03:05 PM

My girlfriend got one (along with three of her friends). THey got 4 of the 6 from the Wal Mart they were at. She is selling it and has already been offered $700.

t to the maxx2 · 11-22-2005, 08:09 PM

Ill give 750 for it.

Sarcasm or no?? Can't tell... no smiley face. I have seen them go for $1000 plus on the bay. I think she put it on there. Let me knw if you are serious though.

t to the maxx2 · 11-23-2005, 12:07 AM

I am 100% serious.

FreeRideFrosty · 11-23-2005, 12:15 AM

She will probably do it... if you want PM me your # and I will try to get ahold of you tomorrow. I will talk to her and see if we can hook it up for after thanksgiving.

She may ask $800 seeing that they are going $1000+ on the bay but I can probably get it to you for $750.

It is not the core model... is that a problem??

t to the maxx2 · 11-23-2005, 12:17 AM

Meaning it is the premium model? Thats fine. I will have to talk to my mom to spot me some of the extra money I need, but most likely, yes, I do want to buy it. I will pm you my number tomarrow morning after talking to my mom.

FreeRideFrosty · 11-23-2005, 12:21 AM

The Core model is the premium one. The non core is the regular one. Smaller HD and no wireless controllers. That is the one that she has. That is why I think you can get it for $750. These are going for about $1000 on ebay and the permium (core) model is going for up to $1600+. Let me know...

t to the maxx2 · 11-23-2005, 12:27 AM

Is yours the green box? I will offer 675 for that one, let me know if you want more than double what you paid for it.

FreeRideFrosty · 11-23-2005, 12:34 AM

Yeah green box. Sorry... had it backwards. I don't know about the $675. She already has offers of $700 cash so I doubt she would go lower. I will see though.

I wish I was off and could have gotten one too. THey were out there for 18 hours... kind of crazy.

t to the maxx2 · 11-23-2005, 12:43 AM

Ok, then Let me think about it, I think I can offer 725, but I just need to talk to my mom about this whole situation,Ill be back tomarrow.

FreeRideFrosty · 11-23-2005, 12:49 AM

Yeah I will see what she says. If she can get a bunch more on ebay though it will probably be sold there. Will have to see....

squirrel · 11-23-2005, 01:23 AM

i have figured out your new plan to make money^ haha !!!

FreeRideFrosty · 11-23-2005, 01:35 AM

I don't think you did...

Edit: Whatever she sell it for is hers. So if you think I amgetting part of that money depending on who she sells to you are wrong... My idea is a good one though.

Mr. Tune · 11-23-2005, 06:19 AM

t to the max, why did you sell your ticket for it your going to spend 750 on a xbox? Why not just keep the ticket.

Tex · 11-23-2005, 08:54 AM

You guys got it wrong, He sold a ticket for the eligability to buy one. The #19 ticket (saying he will get the 19th unit at full price) was sold for $450. He simply sold his spot in line for $450, not an Xbox. That's why he is so willing to spend the $700+ on a xbox now.

cemeb4dk · 11-23-2005, 09:02 AM

I see what you are saying but in the long run is he going to make any money?

Used your ticket = pay original amount= 2 days of already playing x box

Sold your ticket
450+ money for buying original x box= what 800-850

Doesnt seem worth it, if you ask me because you still might not get one, just to make a $100 bucks or so.

If you where intending to sell it you shoudl of bought one and sold it on ebay, there was one that got 1600.00

You people are crazy!!!!!!!!!

bigjs · 11-23-2005, 09:12 AM

i'm just going to wait until i walk into a store and see one sitting there. all this paying high prices is just crazy. it's more like paying for bragging rights then anything else. the version you get now is no different then the version i will get in the next few months.

Exactly!

I would never pay extra, or make profit off of it. Why screw over the fans who waited 12 hours instead of 15? Not right in my book.

cemeb4dk · 11-23-2005, 05:33 PM

Thought those that campe dout for the 360's will appreciate this

click me

Mr. Tune · 11-23-2005, 05:38 PM

LOL, why didn't I think of that? That's pretty funny.
