Author Topic: Selling some antiques.  (Read 1439 times)

I'm here visiting my mom in Arizona, and I found out she kept both my original Xbox and my 360 I got. The original Xbox was my replacement I got after my first had a disc drive that died. Its date of manufacture is 2004. My 360 is an 06. After digging them out, messing around with the 360 to get rid of the total RRoD, I think I got it to work fine; I have all of the cables but can't see if it works because I can't get the TV to switch input sources for some reason. I got the original Xbox to work just fine, and I have like three controllers, a DVD remote and receiver for it and it works. I also have the remote, a single controller, the headset and cords for the 360. Note when I was trying to figure out why it was red ringing, the Microsoft seal was broken; will this effect the value?

I looked on Yahoo Answers and someone said that an original fetched like $50 at Gamestop four years ago; I don't know about the 360. I have a Gamestop Power Rewards membership so I can get an extra 50% on consoles upon selling when they have that promotion or whatever.

What do you think I could get?

Don't bother selling the classic xbox, you'll get like 13 dollars, lol.

And the 360 probably like 80 tops, if they even buy it, the one around here doesn't buy any xbox except the new one.

I was afraid of the first one lol. I don't know what to do with it then. :(

I have a fairly new 360 I got back in March or April, though, it can play originals fine which is the only reason I'm looking to sell.

Mod your original Xbox, install XBMC onto it and watch your 360 collect dust.

FYI old stuff isn't antique. Antique = 50 years or older.

I think he means in terms of videogaming.

The N64 is a videogame antique, but that was out 20 years ago.

14 years ago, to be correct.

Its funny because I wasn't being literal. I meant in comparison to modern gaming.

I found the local Gamestop. :D

If the Xbox 360 is RRODing and the seal is broken its basically worthless. Sell it for parts or find a private fixer who will fix it for cheap.

If you read the original post you'd see it isn't RRoDing anymore. It only did that because the AV wasn't plugged in right.

I'm afraid Gamestop won't buy a broken seal. :(

I could at least sell it on Facebook or something. I could even keep it in my room so I can play Xbox in my room and the living room. :D

The classic xbox isn't an antique, what the forget?

I have one still plugged in.

They wont buy a broken seal. I dont think. Anyways you'll get more money if you seal it to a friend rather than gamestop.
