LostInSpace Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 $36,000!? I thought the Xbox 360 itself going for $12,000 on ebay was bad enough. On the plus side, you can at least melt the gold back to an ingot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Schultz Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 And if you read the whole listing, by doing so you'd end up losing at least $15K since that's the actual material worth of the gold (according to the listing). All the labor and craftsmanship costs melted away into a rectilinear slab... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted December 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 No takers so far. As far as I'm concerned; if his friend is so rich, why is he selling the item on eBay? If I was rich - and stupid enough to have it made - I'd keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless that's also made out of gold, there is no way to recoop anything on it. It's a total investment loss. At least with the gold face plate you'd get a little less than half the money back. quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: No takers so far.

If I was a skeptic, I'd say more like it was gold plated aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
