Gotta Love KB going out of business sale.

Well, you got the thing home, so maybe it isn't as much of a PITA for you as I would expect, but I would have recommended going with local pickup only.

Also, and I know this will seem like a very minor gripe, but, "Unfortunately, I am requireing the buyer to pay shipping." -- No, it isn't unfortunate, that is just the way it is.
 
It is real hard to get an exact quote for shipping. The freight companies need to know where the item is going - and that wont be found out until the auction is over with.
 
There is a KB toy outlet store near where i live i wonder if there going out of biz too, maybe not since its a outlet store

There's one near me also, but it doesn't sell videogames. I'm not sure if that's the case with all the outlet stores or not, but it might save you a trip out there.
 
I think you went undercover like Indie Jones, knocked out an employee and took their uniform then posed as an employee from another store sent to help them with moving the stuff out of the store since their going out of business and took it!

Ahh my psychic powers amaze thee...
 
HA? and you think because KB closed down means that Microsoft won't hunt you down and take a bite out of you?

Those displays, if it's the good one, have a mighty secret to them....most of them have a speaker system that you would not believe. You have to open up the back to find out though...like wicked awesome.

This is one of those finds that you keep quiet about though.....cause if they sold it to you then it's considered stolen property AND you bought it, both of which are quite illegal.

BUT Microsoft is a huge ass company there not going to give a SHiT. There too busy Getting rid of all the bugs in their new xp software and designing xbox2... They don't have time to investigate what happened at a frikin toy store, so Be Cool Daddy'o!!!

NAL, but KNOWINGLY receiving stolen property is illegal.
 
It was KB's property which they sold. KB went bankrupt. If the item was being held by KB, it then would be considered a debt. All debts are gone when u file chap 11. If microsoft wanted it, they would have had to take it during the bankruptcy hearings. The big orange tag was a pain in the ass to take off too - they stuck it right on the glass of the monitor. Oh yeah, and it does have the kick ass sound system - 2, 4 inch woofers inside... I was playing some HALO 2 on it yesterday with the sound up and it was GREAT. Its going to be hard parting with this - now that the reserve has been met :(
 
These are not owned by Microsoft. KB Toys purchased them. I have several display units in my house (GBA SP, Dreamcast, Virtual Boy, SNES...)all obtained through my old job (videogame manager) or through stores closing. Generally the store is the one that purchases the system, and the rep (microsfot, nintendo etc) gives them a display unit).
 
[quote name='screwkick']Awesome. Me want one now! :shock:[/quote]

Think about what you're saying. The screen is small and high off the ground, so just about the only way you could comfortably play this thing (without standing on your feel all day) is either sitting on a bar stool or laying on the top bunk of a bunk bed. Certainly, it would be neat to own something like this, but the privilege of doing so probably isn't worth $200-$500 plus freight and shipping.

True, true. I just saw it and thought: wow. But obviously its not practical for traditional gaming use.
 
Nice find, although I have to agree with some of the previous posters on it not being very practical for everyday use. However, if you had a home-arcade collection and room... this would be the ultimate to put next to your other Arcade cabinets.

Especially if you put emulators of old consoles on the Xbox... it'd be a very nice, loaded unit... that'd mesh perfectly with the other traditional arcade cabinets.

I agree. I have one of those at my EB, and I play music on it before and after close. The sound is very incredible.
 
[quote name='clockworkvictim']Holy shit... 638 plus shipping for that?!?!
That's ridiculus and not practical at all.
Buy a big ass TV and and an Xbox for that much.[/quote]

And somehow it still did not meet the reserved price. Also, yeah, might as well speak up about the price. I remember seeing this and a Gamecube kiosk at Meijer which I guess eventually sold a few weeks ago, but they wanted $350 each for them.
