Ebay hall of shame

Well Rare is only worth $350 now (10 years ago it would be much more), but MEGA-RARE? That's a couple grand.

 

The listing is hilarious. Obviously English isn't this person's first language. Here's the listing text:

"
XBOX - 2001 BILL GATES - Launch Team Edition MEGA-RARE Console System Collectors

Ive had This very well taken cared of For Many years All Boxed Up.
its AWESOME!!
This is The Mega Rare Bill Gates Launch Team Xbox Console Given strictly to
the original team helpers/makers at the Launch of the Xbox console into the Market days back in 2001.
As a thank you from Bill gates Himself. They Got to Enjoy a Custom Edition Console haha Way Before the Green Halo Green Console Came out. They Had the 1st green cased one!
--The Numbers oF these Are low. I believe 60 Of them made, and 60 of the Sister Partners Edition Xboxs. So You can be 1 of 60 to Own one of these worldWide. 60 Made is Uber-Rare in a World were Millions Of Consoles exist! , But who Knows By now
the numbers Could be alot Less then 60, due to Some probably Not being in Great Shape, or some lost etc.
And this one Is in Great Condition, Seals Intact.
--Note The Front Face-plate The Silver/White Colored *SPECIAL EDITION Letters. That Little Ink Mark NEXT to it below the words is actually From FACTORY i believe =) as it looks just like the ink, so its a Factory Mark From the Ink Machine itself. Kinda Cool actually. Maybe Could be Rubbed off with Running-Alcohol if you want to do that yourself. Ill leave it as It is myself.
--The console is in really good shape, nothing bad about it looks mint really.
It Comes with The Matching BIG-DUKE Green Controller, Only Given with this Console.
The controller and Xbox console all Work very Good like it should. Its In great Shape.
You Get The Console with the Controller. And Power + Video Cable.
Never Played with it, Just Powered On 2 Times just to check it out. ( I thought it Might of had a different Dashboard or something, but nah its the same Original green MS Dash of Xbox.
Its a great Collectors Item to have, especially if you Like XBOX =)
$1300 Free Shipping For the 1st Interested Buyer."

 

SUPER MEGA UBER HYPER RARE!!!!

 

You can just name a price at that point. It is worth more than money then.

 

Keeping on the topic of amazing deals on a launch team xbox.

 

At least he put some games on it :/

 

A LT system with the Dukes in reality should be no more than US$600.

 

Well there's the problem.

 

WAIT A MINUTE, is that the Japanese system? We didn't get the Controller S in the US until 2002, and I don't think it was packed in until 03.

 

Why would you think it's a Japanese system? The controller was just attached to the listing because "oh look, it's green too!" lol

I CAN DREAM!

 

Is that it? I didn't know if they sent any of those units overseas, and Japan had the S all along.

 

Yeah, the LT came with Dukes originally, 2 of them to be exact. Japan also had Dukes but in Development processes.

 

this is just stupid

 

Yup, I want a mountain dew xbox but I wont pay over $100 for one.

 

When I hear the term "holy grail" I think of the NWC gold cart or something... not a Everdrive 64 with a 8GB SD card...

OHHHH, but wait it's got the "mod" to play NES games...
And it gets better.. read the description

"This is for SERIOUS, HARDCORE nintendo gamers ONLY"

What a tool.

 

Hahaha! Joker!

 

Impossible for one boxed. Think I got mine for $240 or something like that. However the one Poke posted has been listed for more than 2 years.

 

I almost had a Mountain Dew edition years ago. I was online when they happened to release the very last batch. I refreshed the page, it showed available. I went through the steps, and it was sold out already. It was also the last time I relied on my ancient 56k modem. DSL since then

 

Guy has friggin' 10 of them.

 

Doesn't even try to hide the fact he's a reseller.
