Modified Xbox For Sale

[krakjoe]

it's a version 1.4 at best guess, manufactured in the 33rd week of 2003, and yesterday was taken apart - sprayed, tsop flashed, hard drive upgraded - and today is for sale to you lovely people ....

The xbox has "Xbox Media Center" installed as the default dashboard, and still has the microsoft dashboard available to copy audio cd to the xbox audio track - so you can play your own music in games still, it's equipped with an 80GB Maxtor drive, most of which is available for games and gamesaves...It's been lovingly sprayed with metallic blue across the top and front making it a lovely addition to most bedrooms. You will recieve the power supply cable, a video cable and one wired black mad catz controller so you're ready to play games ... but wait ...

IMPORTANT - I WILL NOT SUPPLY GAMES WITH THIS CONSOLE BECAUSE I WILL NOT SUPPORT PIRACY DIRECTLY, MICROSOFT SHOULD HAVE NEVER ATTEMPTED TO MAKE AN i386 PLATFORM CLOSED SOURCE AND SO I'LL HACK THEM ALL DAY LONG, BUT STEAL GAMES I WILL NOT

You can take your pick of the software you want me to preinstall - or just say everything you can find, I will include the disk required to flash the tsop with a new bios along with some instructions for how to do so ... although that will never be neccesary to play games, or movies or even linux ...

SHIPPING - IMPORTANT

The xbox resides in the UK, within reason I'll ship the xbox to anywhere in the world, so long as YOU PAY THE COSTS ON TOP OF YOUR BID, of course you're welcome to save on shipping and come and pick up from my house if you wish ... should you decide you want to pay to ship it, understand that you're entirely responsible for it's safekeeping during shipping, you must pay for the standard of service you wish to recieve, if the shipping isn't insured that's NOT my fault .... of course I'll do my absolute best with bubble wrap and nice soft things to make sure your xbox gets to you in the same condition it is in now, but cannot be responsible for damage during transit ...

This is not a joke, lets start the bidding at $10 .....

[themoose]

$50.

edit:
When does the auction end? Do you have a BIN in mind?

And it will play pirated games, right? (even though you're not selling any)

[xtone]

$55 anyone wanna say something ?

[themoose]

$60 providing it plays backups

[krakjoe]

There is no BIN highest bid at end of auction wins, I reckon 72 hours is long enough, so 72 hours from the time I posted ....

OK great, $60 bid still stands :).

[AMC]

Joe, before I bid. Would you mind my asking where abouts (roughly) in the UK you live. I live in the UK, and I just want to get a rough idea of shipping times/costs.

Thanks

[krakjoe]

Buckinghamshire, High Wycombe, HP13

[AMC]

Hell, I go to college really near there - that makes it easier. Can I ask a question: would you mind waiting a week or so after payment before shipping ?

Anyway, Ill have a $65 bid to be getting along with. :)

[themoose]

$70

[LSComputers]

haha collin really wants this puppy.

If you could let me know how you are willing to ship so I can see the costs for it, I may offer $100

So long as the payment is made, that's fine .....

If you choose royal mail, the xbox will be packed and taken in a taxi to the local sorting office, where I leave the xbox and responsability for it ...

If you have a courier pick it up, they should be able to come to my house to get it, including parcel force and such ...

If you choose a courier that has a depot local to me, I'll take it there in a taxi too ...

If I don't covered it make a suggestion ...

[LSComputers]

Okay dont hold my bid yet. Let me talk this with a friend.

[krakjoe]

Understood ....

[themoose]

Ill just go ahead and offer $100 now :p.

[Gamer4u]

How much is postage to Ireland? If it's a decent price, my bid is $120.
Via Paypal.

[krakjoe]

The postage is something that you have to arrange, so it's however much you pay to get it to your location ....

Please specify wether I should count your bid ...

[krakjoe]

Not counting Gamer4u's bid because I got no response, highest bid is still Colin @ $100

[Gamer4u]

lol... give me some time!!
How heavy is it?
5 Kg w/ a courier = €74.26 - LOL! Hell no.

[krakjoe]

People are charging about £20 on ebay for postage, dunno what service ....

[themoose]

Hey, Joe, do you have a DHL depot nearby? Also how much does it weigh?

[krakjoe]

There's no DHL nearby, there is a city link though for sure ....

The xbox + cables ( according to posts on the internet ) weighs 5.8kg and costs £8 via parcel force ...

[themoose]

Citylink does all packages for £5 don't they? anyway £8 for parcel force sounds good either way.

[krakjoe]

I never used a courier service which is why I didn't wanna sort this part out, how does it work with parcel force, do they come and get it ??

[themoose]

I think you have to take it to them.. and they deliver it.

http://www.city-link.co.uk/services/uk.ireland.tariff.pdf
Area 1, 5kg + additional kilo = £10 ?
Or parcel force looks like £14.90

[krakjoe]

Wow, that's much cheaper than I expected it too be ... I reckon I'll sort it out next time at that price, did you notice Zone1 is basically all of the mainland ?? and they'll go pick up a package for just £15 .... that's crazy ....

[themoose]

Does picking up include for £15 include delivery, or is it £15 for picking up plus standard delivery charges?

[krakjoe]

+ delivery, but if you got something real big, or live right out of the way .....

[themoose]

Yeah, it's cheap.

[Gamer4u]

$120 is a bid then.

[krakjoe]

Sold, to Gamer4u for $120, please pm me with your shipping arrangements and I'll pm back with the paypal address to use ...

[Gamer4u]

woohoo :)

[Decker]
