WhiteBeard Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Hello, I have a transparent blue faceplate that I never installed on an xbox and was wondering if it was still worth anything, or if the market is no longer there. I was thinking about putting it on eBay soon, but I don't know anything about what to list it as or even if it's still worth my time to do. Backstory - My mom bought me a team xecuter chip and face plate over a decade ago, I tried to solder the header pins onto the jtag and melted the plastic on them. I freaked out because I worried that ruined something expensive (I was a dumb kid) and just stored everything. A couple years ago I made a computer case out of the XBOX case and found it in my xbox stuff. I looked it up and found it was desirable. Since then, my life has been one crazy thing after another; 2 jobs, moving, kid, covid, and I just haven't been able to carve out time to sell it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You're talking about an Xecuter3 Control Panel with the USB ports, switch bank, activity lights and LCD screen, correct? In transparent blue? I would try to list it. I had been sitting on a NOS CP too and I used it to refurbish my current X3 setup. I'm a happy panda! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, mine is solar and radio controlled too! The end of my band cracked off, and it's cracking in another place. I contacted Casio, but they wanted me to send them $50 via putting my CC number into an unencrypted PDF so I'm stuck with the old band. 4 hours ago, Bowlsnapper said: How much are you planning to sell it for? I was just planning on putting it on eBay (probably this weekend). I have already gotten 2 DMs, and 2 people on this thread asking to buy it and I have no idea how much it can go for. Like I said, I'm not very big into this scene, I just got lucky a long time ago when I bought it. 3 hours ago, coldasijs said: Ok you got me convinced now I needs to have it @WhiteBeard I guess your shipping from Austria right? Nope, that's the original shipping box it came in. I'm in a suburb of Vancouver, Canada. I also have the never-installed X3 mod chip as well. I'll take a picture of it when I get home. I have no idea if that's desirable as well, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it from High school and the NOS one I discovered with the X3 console I bought a little while back. THAT was lucky. I can usually find my watch bands on ebay. Have you looked there? Or is the actual mount on the unit cracking at the pressure pin? X3 chips are always desirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys think it should be seperate auction or a package with the faceplate? 4 hours ago, Dempsey_86 said: I hope you will do international shipping.

trencherfield Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 I dunno, in this instance you have to accommodate the people who think "arse if I can't be sure of winning the chip, then I can't be arsed bidding on the faceplate". Tough call either way. Make sure you get it listed on an eBay listing offer though if you can get one. They usually ping you early hours Friday if one is on.

trencherfield Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Pity the blue consoles are also ridiculous prices! Probably that "Retro Gaming Pricing" or "Collectors Gaming Pricing" that Bowlsnapper is keen on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could afford it and hadn't spent all my money on CRTs. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
