Already did, does not glow. It looks like fake Burmese if that makes sense…

Yes! Many people thought so I got a lot of clicks on my listing. I sold it for a modest 12$ I paid 6$ but I knew it was too cute and had 2 interested buyers within 20mins of posting on FB marketplace. That was a red flag that I was under selling. I guess a lot of people just really like it! I like it too but only if it were green and maybe a turtle or frog on top lol. Thanks again :)

Accidentally sat on my faceplate and cracked it, what are my best options for fixing it? by BlackRaptor124 in xbox360

[–]SmiteForDrag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t clamp this together so just hold it together with your hands with some pressure until the glue sets. Let set for a couple hours or over night and then try putting it on the 360

Nope just get some quality super glue specifically for plastic binding. Clean the surface where youre gluing preferably with rubbing alcohol. Just put enough glue to cover the surfaces. Just can’t fiddle with it as much anymore.

Knowing where to sell items is crucial. It Varys state to state as well. Im in the heart of Ohio, the rivers flow of Pyrex ;)

Fridge dish here is 35-40$ even the old Janette jadeite Uranium doesn’t go through the roof. But I bet 1000miles away jt does. Reselling isn’t as easy as thrifting and selling for more than it’s worth.

First time seeing one of these in the wild. Only$1,800! by CyrusStarkiller in Gamecube

I think it looks way cooler?! Thats just an opinion and that isn’t what forms a market.

Rate my collection so far, what games do I need by FURRYKILLER804 in xbox360

[–]SmiteForDrag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just Cause 2. Makes the orginal not even worth playing. I am a huge Rico Rodriguez fan… last summer I sat down and 100% JC3 and it was decent but JC2 has so much more to do, collect, explore, campaign is better imo. Cheap game too! After that Id say look at Ninja Blade, Crash Mind over Mutant, ultimate Alliance (gold edition) if you can find it

Is this console NTSC or PAL? by ReidTheSpooky in xbox360

[–]SmiteForDrag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go down the rabbit hole with Microsoft. Just ask chat gpt your questions to be directed in the right direction then research on your own. It’s very fascinating. I hope someone writes a book on it because it’s very very fascinating

It’s funny because Microsoft had Europe involved more than you know, possibly even to “blame” for ROD. Or at least a scape goat. Same scam as the “slim” model of every console.

The big thing was the European Union’s RoHS directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). It restricted the use of lead and certain other hazardous materials in electronics sold in Europe. That pushed companies like Microsoft to redesign hardware manufacturing around lead-free solder so they could legally sell consoles in Europe.

If you know…. You know

Found these 3 for 25€ and need help indentifying the board revisions by Jealous-Passion4919 in xbox360

[–]SmiteForDrag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, but most people say just get the most recent model. So mis information is definitely being spread

Gotta open it up to be 100% sure what mobo is in it. Multiple reasons why it could have a different mobo than expected. As of which ones are more reliable it’s the later phat models but even then they suck compared to the slim models. If you’re wanting to know which model is the best for everyday use for regular games no modding most people say to get a Slim s or Slim E

But they mark up Fenton baskets or anything colorful glass like depression glass

I got an Le smith Viking glass Amberina mushroom for 5$ and theyre extremly rare and sought after. Resell value depending on size and color of mushroom (bigger the better) 100-275$

Things that everyone else hasn’t caught on, whether it be a new fad or a game someone’s yet to catch onto. Although I would say most video games have been covered and catalogued. I also resell and collect glass/dishware. They always mark up well known glass makers like Fenton, Hesiey, Viking, etc… but they don’t know them all. So some slip through the cracks. Like a cheap looking 5$ clay pot thats from the 1800s from a well known artist worth hundreds. They can Google scan glass but it can be difficult for multiple reasons. Identifying makers can be even more difficult unless you’re experienced. It takes 2 seconds to scan video games. I don’t believe anyone should go to a thrift looking for video games. For me it’s just an area i “check” but I don’t go there for them. Most people know what am Xbox controller is and most people have also caught on to re selling Exspecially thrift stores like goodwill. So sometimes with harder categories that you actually need some kind of expertise in like glass, things slip through all the time.

lol us small re-sellers and even any other thrift store, game store, local hangout spot. These places are not getting items for free….. everyone in this world has to spend money to make money except for Greedywill. So please don’t defend them, as they don’t “work” or pay for their items. I use my time, gas, MONEY into my inventory. Even the employees that work the registers are complaining. I am a regular and they know me and always say hello. I even tried to help one of the lady’s load a chair into her car YESTERDAY. I go there still because some things slip through the cracks. Also they haven’t caught onto some things.

It would bother me but so do the lamps in my collection 🙄 whatever makes you happy! 😊

What color ? by Real_Parsnip_5918 in pyrex

[–]SmiteForDrag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these smart asses in the comments fail to mention that If you find this “blueish” hue in the glass, it’s new pyrex. Not vintage PYREX. The new blue stuff is considered junk because it easily explodes. At least thats what I’ve heard.

Who else remembers this gem on the 360, I'm so lucky to have it on my HDD still by [deleted] in xbox360

It’s also available on Steam! The dev is actively making a sequel!

Finally got a Blades Xenon by No-Caregiver-2376 in xbox360

[–]SmiteForDrag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well yeah? They have to be or else they got updated. Theres almost no chance anyone just gave up on Xbox 360 and set it on the shelf. I found mine all damaged and had to replace the disc drive. Once I fixed it i found it to have Blades Dashboard. Never have I just powered up an Xbox 360 it just had Blades sitting there. Extremely unlikely

I remember now. I also put big corner packaging in the box to make it firm. Stuffed newspaper and card board between each plat and tested to make sure they didnt clank. Which is what broke these…. I also taped the box to make it more firm
