$200 for a an Xbox360 faceplate
A rare Xbox360 faceplate sold for an US$200 on ebay. So why did it sell for so much?
Two years ago, Xbox Live gave away 72 limited edition Xbox 360 faceplates with a Need For Speed: ProStreet design. Some guy decided to get rid of his on eBay and has found it commands a price above $200.
The seller, out of Queens, N.Y., billed it as an “extremely rare” collectible but listed it for $30. His co-workers advised him not to sell it for less than $60 so he moved the reserve price up. Then yesterday afternoon a bidder (with pretty high feedback) stepped in and laid down $200, and finally another guy topped that, price-is-right style, by a buck.
$200 might not seem much when compared to a super rare game like Stadium Events but it isn’t cheap considering Xbox360 faceplate’s sell for about 20$.
