I have 4 Pre-mods right now, want to get $200 including US Priority shipping.
LOOK UP....it includes shipping which is easily $20, and like Hailrazer said, you cannot find a used one for less than $75 WORKING..get over yourself. Don't look if you're not sreious about buying. You weren't.Twisted Warthog wrote:I dident know i was taking a dump on his thread.
But if it were to happen in your thread how would you feel ?CronoTriggerfan wrote:You weren't.Twisted Warthog wrote:I dident know i was taking a dump on his thread.
Look, simply expressing one's distaste with a ridiculous price isn't "thread crapping", it's called economic negotiation. If someone is interested in a product, then they should at least be given an allotment for WHY something is priced as such. Thread crapping is if I were to come in and attempt to sell MY modded Xbox to his customers. THAT would be wrong, what is going on here is simply a price discussion. Nothing wrong with that.

I'd feel fine. Not like it hasn't happened to me before. And I'd hardly call citing a few sources with average consumer-based prices justifying this price. I can tell you right now that if there was actually effort put into finding the best possible deals, this setup would come in at just about $100, if not less. Also, who says I'm not intent on buying? My cousin's birthday is coming up, and he would love something like this. But at that ridiculous price, I might as well do it myself. A little negotiation to give the buyer AND seller what they want is what this is all about, not some petty argument.hailrazer wrote: But if it were to happen in your thread how would you feel ?
And I have proven that it is NOT a ridiculous price.
And like I pointed out it's not allowed in ANY other forum that has a Buy/Sell Forum. Like Neo-Geo/DigitalPress/AVS/ etc. Why is that ?
Because it's common courtesy.
And it's called "threadcrapping" when you jump in another persons thread with absolutely no intent on buying or contributing anything useful to the thread.
Yes and I notice you edited out the part where you told people if they weren't interested not to be in the thread. And you edited it 5 minutes before you posted this post.CronoTriggerfan wrote: I'd feel fine. Not like it hasn't happened to me before.

EVERYBODY FREEZE dude this is a video game forum centered around modding. we arent all lazy and a lot of us enjoy doing it. also i got my xbox for 45 euros and it came with 2 controllers and the dvd playback kitBlackWaterOp wrote:
Maybe you can get/find a better deal, but what I am offering is a Plug-N-Play modded Xbox shipped to your door in 2-3 days. If you bought everything seperately you would be waiting on the Xbox, HDD, Modchip, etc, to arrive at your house. You would then need the know-how and get off your lazy bum and do it yourself. I will sell you one for very little profit and there is absolutely no work involved. All you have to do is log onto PayPal or mail a money order, simple as that.
PLEASE, if you're not interested, drop the price B.S. Potential buyers can negotiate, don't do it for them.

Honestly, really doesn't matter. Did I flip over it? No. Did I care? Not really. Did I still get a good deal on the item? Hell yes! It's not a matter of "being agreeable", but not getting ripped off. Honestly, NO ONE has agreed with the price up to this point, they have the right to voice their opinion.hailrazer wrote:Yes and I notice you edited out the part where you told people if they weren't interested not to be in the thread.

Why is it so hard for people to just be agreeable ?
Actuall CTF, I have already sold 4 of them for that price on Xbox-Scene. Everyone on X-S knows exactly what a modded xbox is worth also.CronoTriggerfan wrote:Honestly, really doesn't matter.
