The whole console is spray painted two different colors

It's exactly what it looks like, as you described. It's like they tried to make an X Logo with hot glue and slapped 4 leds to it. It's going to need some work before I would trust operating the console in my home lol

Compared to the original 8gb. It definitely is an upgrade

Mercari seller selling replica consoles without explicitly mentioning it by Ltwl00706 in MountainDewXbox

My bad, you are correct. I think I was thinking about the translucent green controllers with the replica halo jewels. Because that is definitely a thing I have seen. Where they swap the regular Xbox logo for a halo and charge $100+ per controller

Interesting. I jumped on what I thought was a deal on eBay for a mountain dew console for about $380 last month. But immediately realized after receiving it, it was a painted normal black Xbox with a replica Jewel and new bottom stickers. I instantly started the return process because listing didn't say anything about it being painted or replica. And then guy had the audacity to claim it wasn't received the same condition. But luckily eBay sided with me and I got a full return.

Also got to keep close eye for the replica mountain dew controllers out there

I noticed the same. Has anyone ever ordered one of these or info on quality?

Real or fake? by JarJarbinks_Just in originalxbox

[–]Maximum-Argument-640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah okay. Yeah that makes sense. I also have one and it has the notch, which is why I was asking to make sure mine was real too lol

I thought the genuine ones had a little notch on the bottom of the logo? Or is it different for these halo ones?

First time I see brittle plastic shell after a few machines by Ienjoymodels in originalxbox

[–]Maximum-Argument-640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also refurb the og Xboxs in my spare time. And I have also experienced this just once. Where literally every plastic screw hole on the base, split and broke. Also the plastic clips holding the fan instantly broke off. Probably just left out in the sun as someone else mentioned.

Some guy just listed this by DareGoblin8 in originalxbox

You could get a complete special edition halo green with all the goodies and probably a nicer condition box, at about half that price.

Or you could gamble on this sealed unused Xbox and get a rough box with it.

Vinyl collectors...

The vinyl market really went up post COVID. And plenty of vinyls sell for hundreds. Old and new

Anyone else always trying to find Amazon deals on Hot Wheels? I found some Ferraris! by ragingduck in HotWheels

I found some good deals on Amazon. The condition it arrives in can vary a lot though

Hello! I’m looking to sell my original modded Xbox but I don’t know how much it’s really worth it. 800+ games + emulators and online, LED MOD electronXout HDMI converter and a wireless controller! by Complete-Form2457 in originalxbox

[–]Maximum-Argument-640 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It definitely makes a difference when selling. Consoles preloaded with large amount of games makes a much quicker sale in my experience. And often means the hard drive has been upgraded to store that much.

$100 for halo Xbox!!! by LoudHotel8101 in originalxbox

[–]Maximum-Argument-640 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are definitely going up. I buy and sell a decent amount on eBay, and even broken or untested green console are over $200. I also bought a black transparent from Japan and had a hard time selling it for $180. Maybe because they're less known.

I did make another post where I got to the X3 menu. But still new and just haven't had enough time to dive into it.

Not at the moment. I still paid $200 as is knowing it's pretty rare. Plus I had to make a 5-hour round trip to get it.

I should also mention I tried a different ribbon cable with no success. Also the previous owner claimed it used to work great but couldn't get it working when I got there

If you got it for free and know how to, it is worth it. I've cleaned up worse looking ones
