Subject: Halo airbrushed XBox - what is it worth?

Hi there, I'm new to this board :) I came here to ask for some advice from Halo fans.

In my days when I was in training as a retail salesman I was lucky enough to get invited to a Xbox (the original one) training by Microsoft held with many other salesmen. After the training we had to solve a quiz to check out how good we remember everything that the training staff told us. The 4 best salesmen were asked to compete in a Smash Bros-like game, something about Kung Fu, I forgot its title.

Someone from the staff didn't think it was necessary to explain all the controls so he said "Just press A to punch!" or something like that. So we were all just punching each other in the game and it looked like everyone had a good chance to win. Don't know about the others, but I couldn't resist to press other buttons than A... so in all that short time of one match I tried to figure out whats most effective and (from what I remember now) I ended up kicking everyone out, resulting in a WIN!

The best thing is, Microsoft promised that the winner would get an exclusive airbrushed XBox as a prize. So the staff got my address and after about two month I really got the Xbox they promised.
I was really excited, as I was like... 16 years old at that time and hadn't had a Xbox yet (I was a real Nintendo Fanboy till then).

Anyway, I was so proud of my Xbox, I kept it and treasured it with other rare items I collected.

Now I'm 26 years old. I'm about to take more responsibility in my life soon. My old room with all those games and consoles I collected has been repainted and setup from scratch. Of course a lot of things (not only games, but also magazines, letter and memories) had to leave and either put in the basement, be thrown away or being sold on ebay.

So there's my Xbox with this Airbrush and I wonder... is it anything worth to Halo fans? On one hand I really wanna keep it but on the other hand its not like I am ever gonna plug my old xbox again.

Anyway I've said enough, check out the picture by yourself... and what you think its worth if I would sell it?
It's not really unused though :(

eBay may get you something but I'm not sure.

That's a pretty sexy xbox though so you might get a bit if a diehard collector see's it.

That is an amazing collectable if you can prove authenticity.
Even if you can't I'm sure someone would buy it.

I might be interested depending on the price and authenticity.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I've never seen another like it, so I'm sure many Halo fans (including me) would be interested in it. Try posting it to Ebay for a price that you're comfortable with and see what you can get out of it.

It does look quite good, as other have said I'd give ebay a shot and get an idea of what you can get for it.

Sexy.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Wouldn't mind having that either...

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Dude, that is pretty awesome!

  • 10.07.2011 1:33 PM PDT

dude, if i could, i would pay next to half a million dollars for that. that is how much probably any halo fan would say. I say you should keep it for old times. this picture reminds me of how halo shook the world when it came out. keep it buddy.

Thank you for your replies! I really appreciate that!

Its just that I dont have any space left and its been a while since I used it. I think there are waaaay bigger Halo fans out there (hell, I didn't even had the time to finish ODST.. not to mention Reach :( ).

Anyway, it is already on ebay, its about the end and if you dont mind me advertising a little bit, here you go:

That's awesome dude. If I wasn't in college, I would buy it.

Just try putting up a reserve bid. However, make sure to come back here and post your info once it is listed and a link. It may help to get interest and bids. Try a few other sites as well.
