I have an XEcuter 3 Transparent Blue faceplate - is it still worth anything?

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.

Hmm probably won’t win the auction since shipping prices usually are crazy high. Typical ebay auctions charge 100 dollar for shipping from US to Europe for a broken xbox. Anyway will do my best to drive op the price

Here is what I'd be going with for shipping

https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/tools/find-a-rate.page

You use the address "1172-4700 Kingsway Burnaby V5H 4M1" - that's not very close to me, but it'll give you a good idea of the price.

The package should be less than 15cm*15cm*45cm and less than 1.5kg, so you can use that as an upper bound for pricing. I'll get exact sizing and weight before posting the auction.

New in box too? Wow, that's gonna go for quite a bit! When you list it, I'll definitely be drooling over it. I probably won't bid... need to save up to move houses soon. Good luck to bidders though.

[Bowlsnapper]

I hate not having money for this...

sorry, not yet. I'm going to sell a bunch of stuff on ebay and craigslist and I'm getting together a mini photo studio. I should be all set up for tomorrow and have it up tomorrow or the next day. Don't worry, I'll be putting the link up here as soon as I post it.

Rock on dude.

Quick Question:

If I separate this into 2 auctions, one for the mod chip and one for the faceplate - Which cables go with which thing? Also, what does this chip go with?

 

[Dempsey_86]

1. the green pcb is from the motherboard of your xbox, this has nothing to do with the x3 modchip or face plate.
2. as for the cables,

• the yellow one is to connect your dvd drive to your motherboard, this has also nothing to do with the x3 modchip or face plate.
• for with the modchip: the piece with all the coloured cables, the black cable and the right pcb
• for with the faceplate: the left pcb

If Im not mistaken there should also be a red wire that goes to the board for the powerbutton, it belongs to that pcb most right on your picture

edit: you can see the red cable there:

Thank you for your help with this. Ya, those small cables are gone. Like I said before, this has sat in a box for over a decade. I have no idea where any of those small cables are other than what's in that picture.

 

Also, I could be wrong, but I don't think I ever had that solder guide, and melting those header pins was the thing that scared me off - so I know they're gone.

 

I'll make a note of it in the auction.

[WhiteBeard]

Update: I just looked at the fees on eBay - Fuck that noise hard. 13.5% my ass.

 

I'll have an Auction in this thread (if I'm allowed)

Rules:

Here's how I'll do it to make it fair to everyone: I'll have a silent Dutch auction that lasts for 3 days each time. I'll start with a high price and go lower.

If more than 1 person bids in the 3 days, I'll sell to the highest bidder. I'll let all the bidders know if they won or lost only after the 3 day period.

If nobody bids at that price in 3 days, I'll lower the price and go another 3 days.

If you want to bid, send me a direct message (DM) with your bid that's equal to or higher than the listed price, you're payment method, and what you are bidding on.

Bids are retractable in the 3 day period, but are locked in at the end. If you win, you win.

Don't place any bids in this thread – they will be ignored.

I'll accept Paypal (buyer has to pay the fee), interact e-transfer or cash (if local). This isn't exhaustive, if there's a method I don't know about ask me and I'll see if I can accommodate it. I'm Canadian, so I can't do Venmo, sorry.

If you're unsure about how this works, ask in the thread for clarification.

 

Price Justification:

This post provides me with a general understanding of the value of these parts. While I don't anticipate receiving $800 and $200 for these items, I do require an initial price point. I plan to begin with highly optimistic figures on the initial period and gradually decrease from that point onward.

 

Auction:

First 3 day period: Midnight August 19th PST - to - Midnight August 22nd PST

Starting Minimum bid for the Control Panel: $900 USD + S&H

Starting Minimum bid for the Modchip: $250 USD + S&H

 

Instructions:

If you're interested in offering a bid that matches or surpasses these prices, please send me a DM. If you choose not to, you can wait for 3 days and hope that no one else places a bid during that time.

 

Notes:

As you can see in this thread, I am missing a couple cables, the solder guide and the header pins. I can give you header pins if you need them, but they aren't the originals. What you see is what you get. (Ignore the yellow cable). Shipping is from Vancouver Canada, I have instructions on this post as to calculate an upper bound for the shipping (it will probably be cheaper than that).

 

Moderators:

If this is against any rules; please inform me and I'll remove it asap and figure out some other way to sell them. I'm not trying to get in trouble, I'm just trying to be as fair to everyone as possible.

You can also move this thread if you need/want to.

I will provide any proof requested, within reason.

Btw, the last local paper just ended here, so I can't do today's paper.

I’m extremely interested in getting one of these some day. I really need a crystal version though. Found one on eBay and dude wanted $700. I don’t think I’ll ever bring myself to drop that much on one. Holding out in high hopes that the reproduction of these starts soon. It’s only a matter of time. 

[Bowlsnapper]

Holy shit. That's a lot of money.... But damn my plasmas and CRTs look good. Lol.

[WhiteBeard]

Someone bid on it at this price. Unless something falls though, please consider the control panel sold.

If anyone wants to bid on the mod chip, I'm open to any offers. No minimum price. I'll make another post about selling it in a more appropriate place if it doesn't sell.

[MadMartigan]

Be very careful on how you go about this deal with that price tag. Doing so in DMs is perfectly fine and I wish you luck, but this is 2023 and scam artists are everywhere. Use a protected payment method so they can’t do a charge back on you. Hopefully you’re dealing with a trusted member already. I just want to give that heads up before something shady goes down in here.

If in doubt, contact a Moderator. 

[DarthBra]

Did it even get posted on eBay or is it to be sold through the forum ?

I knew those mountain bike listings were fake. 5 dollar shipping my ass!

Found one anyway. Pray for me.

Back to the topic. Sorry about that...

So help me understand, whiteboard, where is this all listed right now and where is the bidding happening?

@Bowlsnapper did you miss this message? Bidding just happened via dm’s on this forum.

No. I saw the message but decided to act like I didn't and felt like asking a stupid question.

I skimmed past it, apparently. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
