Be Excellent To Each Other

It's essentially an Elite but not black. Comes with a wireless controller, 120GB HDD, a HDMI cable. It's in the original box with all the original gubbins. Selling because I've got a Slim. Looking on eBay, similar stuff is going for about £120 (the fuck?). I'll say £80 including recorded delivery. I don't know how much it'll cost to send, but consider that my problem. Never had any problems with the console barring one RROD back at the beginning of this year. Was sent back and fixed, had no problems at all in the subsequent months before I got my Slim.

There's one minor superficial problem with it - the flap on the faceplate which covers the USB ports is permanently open because the spring flew out of it and went missing. A new faceplate or a fiddly mess about with a small spring would fix this, if you were bothered. It doesn't really bother me, so I didn't bother getting a new one.

Any questions just ask. Also, no offence, but I'm not selling it to people with 10 posts who signed up a week ago. Also also, I'm not selling the HDD separately - then I'll be left with a HDD-less console which nobody will want.

I can do PayPal or bank transfer.

I don't want it -- I just recently bought a Jasper Elite preowned from Game -- but I'll note that £80 is a very fair price. One thing you didn't note WTB: what chipset is it?

Cheers Rich - I just want to get rid of it, really! I've had problems with idiots from the US bidding on PAL consoles on eBay, and GAME are likely to offer me about £20 and sell it on for £120, so I'd rather just sell it here.

It's the one before Jasper as far as I know. I bought it literally a week or so before the Jasper model appeared on the shelves. But like I say, it was sent back and had all of the new heatsinks and stuff fitted at the beginning of the year. Really the only reason I upgraded to the Slim is because I wanted shiny-shiny.

That's a good deal for someone!
Unfortunately everyone here already has one

If anyone is arsed, I have a spare faceplate that you could have for £postage.

Edit: Protip - Get a free faceplate by removing yours when you get a RROD. They will more than likely give you a new one.

For reference, I paid £120 for my preowned Elite in the Game bundle deal with Halo Reach; their normal price was £100 but most of their machines were old-as-the-hills 16V models that were likely to RRoD any second.

I shall ask MrsA when she returns from her meeting as I've mentioned we could do with another in the study.

I think we should have a whip around and give it to JC

That broken faceplate is ripe for LED insertion.

My friend has wanted an Xbox for ages... I shall ask him tonight (if Malia doesn't want it obviously)

I would say the chances of getting a "yes" are slim to none. SO don't hold back on my behalf. I has one already.

Well, I'm officially not bothered so long as someone gives me monies and accepts delivery of the Xbox

She said no.

Tenner. Take it or leave it.

She's yours.

Well TheVision, it's down to you! Else, I'll have to fight my way through the twats on eBay.

Well, I've text my friend and let him know but its his birthday today so I imagine he's busy this evening.

I'll let you know as soon as I find out what he says.

Okay coolio!

Just to let you know... I've informed my friend about the Xbox and he's curious. His missus probably won't let him buy it though but he's going to read the description this evening and then let me know what he wants to do.

Thanks for waiting!

Tell him to do it, then apologise later.

I wish I had done this.

Yeah sorry TheVision, but I've managed to sell it on the OCUK forums. I didn't expect it to go so quickly, but the guy just emailed me and paid in the last 10 minutes. Sorry man

You're just one disappointment after another.

Hi WogansTrouserBulge, I've just spoken to my friend and he said he'll tak.....

Oh....

Yeah sorry I had to take the monies when it was offered, couldn't really wait around on a maybe!

Do you have a leg to stand on?
