Hey everyone,

I have two items in my possession that I am considering giving up, however I want them to go to a good home, and as with all things, money is what is going to encourage me to give up what I love. Who says money is evil?

The first item is an OFFICIAL (MS commissioned) xbox live launch display piece, only a limited number were made to begin with (I can get an exact figure if anyone is interested?) but they were used for an opening event, and so far as I know no others continue to exist, they were probably destroyed along with the rest of the decorations and rubbish at the event.

I have taken these pictures with my phone camera, if anyone is REALLY interested and wants to see better quality pictures please let me know. I am in the UK but would ship worldwide if the buyer pays for shipping and makes me an offer I can't refuse.

The entire piece: http://webloch.digit...ull_frontal.jpg
The engraving: http://webloch.digit...x/engraving.jpg
The centre disc: http://webloch.digit...isc_enlarge.jpg

Using a british £2 coin for perspective:

As you will note the block is a clear perspex and quite sizable, it weighs a fair bit and would easily break toes, or faces, should you be that kind of fiend.

The second item, is really a pack. When Xbox live finally came to the UK I was one of the lucky beta testers that got to play it two months early (there were no good games tho). As a beta tester I was sent the beta tester pack, which consisted of two demo discs (shit I assure you), one live headset kit, one carry case for a few cds and the kit (nice orange and black) and a wicked xbox memory card, it is translucent orange as you can see from the pictures...

If you would be intersted in a picture of the case/pouch item that comes with the pack please contact me and I will take a picture or two.

So overall, I am looking for offers on the display piece and the beta testers pack (Rare memcard, headset, pouch), I might consider trades for some funky funky stuff, but we will have to see what you have. If you post a bid that costs less than the item will cost to ship, then I will spam your inbox, day and night, until one of the X-S mods sends a pack of wild, aids-infected dogs to rape me in my slumber and free up the X-S bandwidth again.

Thanks in advance for reading my babble.

Regards,
Baris

what kind of prices you have in mind and would you ship to canada?

WebLOCH · « **Reply #4 on:** March 03, 2005, 10:15:00 PM »

I will ship anywhere, provided I do not have to pay the shipping costs, I will get a list of couriers, delivery times and prices if you decide to sell and you can choose whoever is best for you.

Price wise I am looking for good offers to be honest, the beta kit I got comes with the mem card, which was only release in the first wave of beta testers and the display piece, well, I have only ever seen one more, and I gave it to an ex-girlfriend.

What did you have in mind?

are you willing to sell just the memory card?

WebLOCH · « **Reply #6 on:** March 04, 2005, 10:07:00 AM »

If I sell the card alone then I lose the value of the beta tester kit. In which case I will have to sell the crappy headset on its own, by crappy I mean original headset, not the sexy new one I bought and haven't used at all.

so i take that as a no lol how much do you wont for the holl beta tester

WebLOCH · « **Reply #8 on:** March 04, 2005, 12:43:00 PM »

Well going by ebay prices a regular headset, mem card and carry case, you would be expecting to pay around £30. However the card and case are more valuable than regular items, so I am looked for more than £30 GBP, make a reasonable offer and we can go from there.

NoFear · « **Reply #9 on:** March 04, 2005, 12:48:00 PM »

well cents i'm in the US 30 gbp is like $50 for me and you wont more then that so sorry not this time

WebLOCH · « **Reply #10 on:** March 04, 2005, 12:51:00 PM »

Thats okay, I was thinking only a UK buyer or a real fanatic would pay for it, and this is the only place I can think of....

Very true... If I get broke I may end up parting it but I dont want to at the moment.

Any updates my friend?

Hey hey,

Yes indeed, the latest issue was the shipping company, who basically lied about express shipping, so I am waiting for the goods still, they have quoted 5-6 days, however they could not specify if those were working days, or any days, but this was a day or two ago now, so I shall keep you informed, they are refunding the shipping costs though which will reflect in my resale price, so its not all bad news!

(This reply was primarily for Arjun, but anyone after an official crystal case.... PM me)
