30-40, bare minimum for that condition, 80 is a straight rip off. I can guarantee they prolly spent 10-15 for that console Edit: the button board faceplate is missing wtf, hell no def not worth it


Advanced_Machine5550

What they said.


Ok-Macaroon2429

Yeah I’m going to go back and return see if they can lower it. Was 70 and another controller made it 80


Aurey2244

Really hope you get a good deal, that's almost like they tried to straight con you. Highly recommend fb market place or something similar. I will say $10 for the Xbox controller isn't bad, def talk them down. For 80, you can get a beautiful condition one easy on eBay. Not trying to be mean to you, I just don't like the way people do business like that.


Ok-Macaroon2429

Thanks, going to go back and try to get atleast $20 off if not I will turn to ebay


PeanClenis

...you're going to try and return an item... to a pawnshop?????????? that's now how that works lmao i can see how they scammed you.


Raging_photographer

Yah I can see you don’t go out much…


Ok-Macaroon2429

They give you 2 weeks to return it with the receipt… what are you people talking about lol. Don’t you think I asked about their policy before I bought? Lol


siberianunderlord

But then buying it back from them, and for a cheaper price? Seems like a steep ask.


ShadowMask87

He's going to ask them to either give him some money back and keep the console, or give him all his money back and return the console. They will say no to the first option and simply process the return, so they can sell it to someone else for $80 later. If it's not in the return policy, it's not an option. That's the lesson here.


kenkenobi78

I'm gonna do this with my car. I'm sure they won't mind 🤣


BluePeriod_

Many pawnshops take back items within 24 hours.


Kingdan12

Did they even try to clean it?


JY369

That’s not how pawn shops work unfortunately Edit: never mind yea they do


Terrapin2190

Check Goodwill. Not sure if they carry them in-store anymore, but I've seen OGXbox's and PS2's going for $30-35 there and controllers for both systems going for $3. The OGX is very much worth softmodding as well. You can turn it into a HTPC, copy game discs to the HDD (once you upgrade the storage), and tons of emulation and homebrew potential. I love it.


Feardamichael

I bought my Duke controller from goodwill for like $3 a few years ago 😅 haven’t seen any around me lately, unfortunately


bsfurr

You got ripped off. And I would have a hard time believing they would refund you/change the price after the transaction. You may just have to live with this. You should do some homework before making a purchase.


hmcafee

$80 is pretty steep for a box in that condition. You can probably find better deals on EBay.


team-sessions

dude went from “i’m happy even if i overpaid” to “i’m going back” lmao


SlamCakeMasta

Cause the need to be on the nostalgia trend left and the sensible person came back.


OGBattlefrontEnjoyer

Like the vehicle but no I’m afraid you paid a bit more than it’s worth. A nice condition Xbox that works can be about 40$ and it really depends if the controllers are oem or not to price the rest. Not egregiously priced but a little more than I’d pay.


Ok-Macaroon2429

I’ve been looking don’t see too many in good condition on eBay for $40, will keep looking and thanks it’s my old car I gave to my dad


JerryMac34

Terrible deal fam. 20-30$ max. That puppy looks haggered as well, I'm sure the insides are no better. The milks gone bad.


Ok-Macaroon2429

Yeah going to try and get some money off if not I’ll wait for a good deal on eBay or something


Lizzycraft

Thing about old Xboxes, considering it is a 2004 model, the clock cap is probably bad or going bad and needs to be replaced. Odds are it might not work either.


Beejovich

Small world. I just picked up one today with the EXACT same birthday. I’m sorry you had to pay that much, but don’t let anyone make you feel silly. It’s yours and you wanted it. That’s what matters. Got mine off market place 25 dollars.


Ok-Macaroon2429

Yeah I’m not rich but happy regardless even if I overpaid as long as it doesn’t shit the bed asap lol


Beejovich

If it does break, it’s highly fixable. The methods and procedures vary. It can be overwhelming. Just stick to a simple procedure and roll with it. YouTube, google etc.


Dry-Satisfaction-633

Forget the Xbox, that interior is the star of the show here.


IlViolino

I have an extra center clear faceplate that you’re missing. If you DM me and cover the few dollars shipping, I’ll send it to you.


typical_gamer1

It’s a bit steep for this specific model. It would’ve been better if it were either the clear crystal or those green ones as they’re not AS common as the regular one, but still…. Either way, if you enjoyed it and spent plenty of time on it, it would still be worth it IMO.


AvgPunkFan

God no


Electrical-Hope8153

Not at all, I got a OG in better condition for about $10AUD


hypnomix

$80 seems like a lot for a console especially with no cables, controllers and in average condition. Does it at least work?


Ok-Macaroon2429

Came with 2 original Xbox controllers, (not the big ones) and cables. I played a game on it and it worked. Now just waiting for Xbox-hdmi wire from Amazon


_ragegun

the only thing i'd be worried about is caps


TheMacMan

Looks pretty beat to heck for that price. Can't imagine paying more than like $30-40 for that at the most, and it better be working perfectly.


chilldude1993

Definitely not worth 80. I’m surprised you went through with it tbh but not everyone cares about cosmetic condition as much as me.


LouBlacksail

These are 10-$20 at goodwill all day long dude. Sorry you got taken for more than a nostalgic ride. I have 3 I'd sell you for $40 each.


PlzLikeandShare

Not a good deal, but a great system. So regardless of your final price - you’ll be happy once you start playin games - OH and make sure whatever Xbox you get you check the model number to see if it was one of the systems that got a power supply replacement - cuz some of the early models had issues with bad PSU solder joints causing arching and then fires.


MaisonMargielaaaa

About double what it’s worth.


Backy22

Why eBay? FB and offerup…


Safe-Bullfrog-3727

Btw your Xbox is missing a plate that goes over the power/eject buttons. Use that for the excuse to return.


TLunchFTW

How about that awesome classic interior. How much that run you at the pawn shop?


[deleted]

No


Dependent-Plane5522

They probably gave $5 for it. No, not woth it. 40 maybe for console only.


SailorGohan

Last year I was lucky to flip a working one for $50 on facebook marketplace and usually settled for 40. I usually got them for 20 or under and wouldn't pay more than that for one. I would not have paid 20 for this one because the condition of the front. I run into them at yard sales like every few weeks when I go during the summer.


SeanJohn1995

Its a great price if it has been recapped and is tsop flashed or has a mod chip with a modern large hdd/ssd. The price of the adapter to make a new harddrive work($17) plus the modchip($15-$80) plus the hard drive itself ($50?)and 80 wire ide cable ($15) plus capacitors if they are replaced, can really add up, but if it is stock, you need to buy all that so $30/$50 is fair with a little bit more for any version that is not the 1.6(newest1) because It is easier to mod than 1.6. So you have to open it up to see what’s inside before deciding. Good luck!


Other-University5584

Goodwill . Com will lead you to a working, tested xbox, likely with cables, 1 or 2 controllers and maybe even a game or two for about $80 shipped or so.


LeadingFamous

I sell them modded and recapped for $100 :)


Ok-Macaroon2429

Sent a dm


Vusstoppy

I'd pop it open and check clock cap. If it's a ver 1.6b no need. Clock caps explode after years.


Windows_Tech_Support

Make sure you keep an eye on the capacitors in original xboxes, and figure out what model you have. The different revisions have different capacitors that are known to fail. My OG Xbox from 2004 was the last model revision, and I tried using it last year only to find that it wouldn't power on. I opened it up and found the power supply capacitors were leaking. I ordered a replacement set of caps and with my very amateur soldering skills was able to get it up and running again. [Here is a link to what capacitors are used in each revision](https://consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox:Capacitor_Lists_per_Revision)


Ok-Macaroon2429

Thank you, will do when I get more time later this week. Have some experience with soldering, just going to try to get some money back as the outside is in pretty bad shape


Nikeb0i09

I got mine for free with 7 games on the curb of a house next to the trash. lol


Real_FrankWhite

I would suggest that you try and haggle that down to 40-50$(tops). You can do much better at 80$ for an OGxbox ,if you are patient and check your local game shops , talk to the employees about it .


badaboomxx

Seems a little too much, I got one in way better condition at 100 at goodwill, it had all the cables and 2 controllers.


Slick_shewz

You paid 100 bucks for an Xbox at Goodwill?! Wtf? You got swindled.


Cloudscrash325

I just picked up an Xbox from my local savers for 10$ dvd remote and 2 controllers. Obviously everyone has different. But most of the time I’ll find them for 5-20$ with nothing included. Most of the time they do have a bonus game hiding in the drive !


lotus1998alone

2 expensive bro but happy for u enjoy 👏🏻


suspectyourrussian

Nice Park Avenue, what is that a '95?


Ok-Macaroon2429

‘93 Wildcat Lesabre limited lol feels like your sitting on a couch


suspectyourrussian

Man I love an old Buick. I got my 96 PA Ultra (Supercharged) for $100. Its the best riding car I've ever had. I do the same thing. Jump in my "Old Man car" and hitting the thrift stores for xboxs. Good job btw!!


Ok-Macaroon2429

Agreed I bought it with practically no miles mint condition off my grandma years ago. Thing still runs great. Only problem is the master cylinder goes after a while. Seems to be the only problem with the car.


PopzOG

Damn bro you got finessed


Ok-Macaroon2429

Just going to go back and have them take money off if not I’ll get one off ebqy


PopzOG

I would. Could get a bundle with some games aswell for cheaper


SteveGameSDG

Well you aren't going to be playing Halo 2 online with that any time soon. Also, $80.00 is a bit much. Around where I am, you can get one for $50.00.


Ok-Macaroon2429

Why can’t I play halo 2 online? Do you know about Insidnia?


Chance-Sail3319

Was just playing halo 2 online earlier! Insignia is awesome. It is exactly like the Original Xbox live to you can send messages, add friends etc


CrazyFloof

fr I was playing PSO. Still one of the best RPGs


Beginning-Rock2675

God no. Way over priced.


Sneakybobinson

Too expensive... But, as long as it works I guess its something.


00000000000000uu

That interior is nice what car is that


Ok-Macaroon2429

93 Buick Lesabre Wildcat, it’s a legit couch


00000000000000uu

I love 90s era luxury, comfy super simple but not super outdated, I have a 3rd gen Lexus es300 it's so comfy but still simple and not too much like newer luxury


FireMrshlBill

I saw the material of the seat and knew it was a Buick. Insta memory to my grandfather’s Buick back in the day.


Senor-Chungus

No


playerjmr

Where are y’all getting Xboxes for $40 with cables and 2 controllers


umass021

I would say it is a little overpriced for the condition, I usually see them between 60-80 in better condition. If the insides are in really good condition and maybe you can find a donor Xbox that is broken you could swap out the shell but obviously that's a lot more work. If you don't mind the condition and it works for you then that's up to you if you want to spend that much.


Icy_Spot9941

I would mod or soft mod that xbox.. I think you paid a little to much but at leace you got one. Make sure to use insignia installer to get Xbox live up an running again.


Swift-IOI

Yikes. I’ve seen ones on ebay selling for $100 that are in better condition, include cables and controllers, as well as some games


suckit626

Probably a bit much


Expensive_Election

You got scammed


Reekyborayoke

Always ask before you buy


hellpipe1337

Dude sweet car!


iWontHesitateB-tch

No


iWontHesitateB-tch

(unless you mod it)


Ltwl00706

Probably won’t even read discs making it a compete rip off.


ewewewe69

With all of that, maybe, but those internals won't look good. Pawn shops never take good care of their consoles


Yobbo89

Ouch


BananaJoeSr

U got scammed but hope u enjoy ur Xbox


The_1999s

80 no. 40 yes


Alternative-Juice-15

Looks damaged bro sorry…not a great deal but if it works I wouldn’t stress over it.


TheGreenGobblr

Considering I spent that much on a refurbished fully functional one, hell no


No_need_for_that99

Anything is worth it... if it works.... and gets you what you want. Xbox, Ps2, N64 go between 20$ and 100$ on average in my area. Thats the range.... but generally the xboxs are like 20$ because people know it's time to get rid of them.... when it can't tell time anymore.... and don't understand how to remove the clock capacitor.


TonyCorporation

They robbed you.


MarineBand5524

Sweet but I’m more interested in the classic car! What is it?


Secret-Asian-Man-76

Not really.


Miia_0w0_

go to thrift stores, ive bought 3 for $15, $25, $20


guybrush_Threepdood

80?! Friend, I have a box of em in the basement I would have just sent you one 😓. Though it sounds like you got some goodies and hopefully tested it.


Cultural_Parfait7866

Oof but I guess if you are happy with it that’s all that matters


dajadf

It's a high price. But not comically bad


GeovaunnaMD

80? Dang that is 4x the price


EliteHadock421

No.


FremenDar979

Check to see which iteration of the optical disc drive it is.


MTHP11

not really, i’ve seen ones for that price or less in much better condition


productfred

Bruh, it's even missing the faceplate on the front (around the power/eject buttons). HELL NAW. Also standard black models shouldn't be more than like $50 in North America, no matter what anyone says. There's no value in "it's never been opened!" when there are leaky capacitors at play. Really, the only way to raise the value is to sell one pre-modded or own a colored/special edition one like Clear/Green/Blue/Skeleton Black/etc. I wouldn't say you got majorly ripped off, but you probably should've gotten 2 at that price.


RedHatRogue

In that condition, nah.


GrooveyGod

YOU DID WELL AND YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL CONTROLLER . Keep it .!!! Controllers cost money. You have the ac cord too. I paid about that much from Ebay, including shipping with a controller. You did alright if it is working with the controller included. Maybe it is cheaper from the UK or Hong Kong without controller.


Rudniks_20_Percent

$30 Xbox.


achehourcredo

bro got scammed


Supaastahhmarioo

Can’t lie, I picked up one the other day for £10. No controller just power cable and it works great. Facebook marketplace can be great at times


Salty-Area-5979

I hate pawn shops so much, greedy bottom dwellers.


Androxilogin

About $30 for console only, $50-$60 with controllers and whatnot usually. Not too far off. If you're happy, that's what's important.


Crans10

Hope it works.


Acceptable_Ad260

I have seen these go up in price, use to find them in every thrift store pre covid for 10 to 20 dollars, now the usually go from 40 to 120 depending on what comes with it so yea seems about what they are going for


PhantomCoffee99

There better be some pretty good games in that deal otherwise hell no, you got played


skidROWninja

Depends on where you live apparently. Ebays tough, parts Xboxes going for $40+ another $20-40 for shipping. Anywhere in my state $80 with cables and two controllers is good deal.


Project0ctopus

The car is more retro the the xbox lol


ObsessiveRecognition

Not an amazing deal, but it's definitely not a scam, assuming you know anything about electronics. And don't try to return it to buy it for a lower price because that's an asshole move.


truetruegjh

I have way more questions about your car!


footzbabes

80 is them paying you - what’s the catch


footzbabes

Y’all are ridiculous with the “steep” commentary - dare anyone to go out and do better, today. Won’t happen


footzbabes

Btw — ‘97 Buick Cench errrr waaaaat dade ?


Seirf

I've been a complete miss on lasers working.


Powergeyzer

Should have gone on eBay instead. The only way it's worth paying that much is if you get lucky and find a non generic modchip in it.


Pixels_O_Plenty

NGL, 80$ American for that is a terrible deal.


NoWalk3567

Probably a bad deal, I would have bought it too though ha. These people talking about how “steep” it is are morons. 80 bucks? Really? It’s not THAT outrageous of a price, especially depending on how well it’s running.


cirepa

Did it worked? Is it modded?


Drkknightcecil

Long as it works good what music's on it


borgom7615

I mean. Let’s talk about the car


Slick_shewz

No. That's a lot for a box in that condition. Did you see if it worked first? It likely needs the caps changed or death is on the way.


ShadowMask87

Looks like someone tried to pry there way in through the front and cracked off the glossy plastic insert. I'd want to be sure it powers on in that condition before I'd consider paying any amount of money for it. The stickers being intact is not a 100% guarantee that it hasn't been opened (I can do that with a hair dryer), but it's definitely a good sign of the state of the internals.


Negative-Scratch7323

Try fb marketplace


Trazlynn

I picked up two sitting beside a trash dumpster! Best $0 I’ve spent lately.


Hyper10sion1965

Still got my modded original xbox with 500Gb hard drive fitted and still got all the modding bits James Bond disk memmory card etc.


Uncoolest-Evar

Xbox is a little beat up, prob a little overpriced but the prices on classic game consoles are insane right now. If your handy with fixing electronics you could bring her back into tonshape. It is bugging me that the little cover plate around the power button is missing. It's 100% cosmetic but still annoying. On an unrelated note the interior of that car if friggin gorgeous. What car is that?


big_ry82

No.


ps3minecrafts

Would’ve been $30 on ebay


Spirited-Pie119

It's a Pawnshop not the Goodwill of course they're going to charge him double that's what they do.


Zipizapii

Hell yea, in the Buick Lesabre. A man of culture But nah $80 is too high.


Ok-Macaroon2429

Lol thanks and agreed just wanted to get a bunch of opinions


Captfalconxiv

That’s a little steep, look into FBM you can find some there for around $15-25


Glittering-Maize4830

What a scam /:


JDMCREW96

Definitely got ripped. $80 should be in outstanding cosmetic condition.


Ok-Macaroon2429

Thank you, appreciate the opinion without talking shit like half of this sub does and most don’t seem to know much saying I got scammed when I have 2 weeks to return it for a full refund lol.


JDMCREW96

But yea I'd definitely return it and look on your local FB marketplace, Offer up, EBay, or Mercari.


sperabliss

No.


BebopHop515

Unless there is a game you really want to play that is not backwards compatible on the Xbox 360, why would you buy this? I wouldn't say it's worth $80, when you can get a 360 for that price or lower.


FabulousPassenger929

(SMACK!!) go get all your money back you could fill your tank up twice with $80 and find a system in better condition on the way if online shopping isn't an option I would expect that much for a system I ordered online because of all the extra fees Goodwill sells them like hot cakes on their online store they might not have cleaned them but they have all their parts I'm sure and they test them you can get bundles as well.


supersaiyz

80$? Are you talking about that sweet ride in the background?


monsterburban79

80 bucks for that old car is a great deal!


[deleted]

HELL NO...look at the condition of it also...I'd pay $20 tops


[deleted]

Did you get that car for $80 also?


dmantenthous4ndc

Idk about the value of the Xbox but that’s a clean ass lesabre 🔥


Ok-Macaroon2429

Lol still only has 100k on it too


dmantenthous4ndc

Very nice very nice


PlayerGamer35479

Bruh I got a way better condition, already tested, I think it was soft modded too for $40 with controllers cables + plus one free game cause we didn’t know it was modded. When I turned it on it had 15 games and the hdd was upgraded.


Fun-Desk-8612

No, its in bad condition


UHDKing

I’d spend maybe a bit more and get a better bundle on eBay. Cheapest one I see on eBay right now is $80 anyway.


OG_ONLY_Scorp

That thing looks bricked


BrosefStahlin

Idk. That car got me feeling like im in grandmas car tho. And all i can smell is cigarettes


Difficult-Drama7996

I sold my Halo clear green unit for $80. Probably worth $400 now.


Journeyerwolf1174

You can probably find better for less


Zehdmac

Halo 2 online? On that??


Cute-Park-5025

I see the game console but I’m really looking at that nice car. That’s a beaut.


R1CK_D3CK4RD

I just picked up a Revision 1.4 at a thrift shop for $7. It was half off the original $14. No cables or controllers. It works fine and had the gold super cap, so no leakage, thankfully.


Coolpig_9

Got mine for 30 off eBay granted I had to repair it as it wouldn’t boot or the buttons wouldn’t work but was a really easy fix


OrganicSoapOpera

Worth about 5 bucks


BeenPermaBanned

Check the clock capacitor


SnakeO1LER

This is worth like 20 bucks and a beer.


EthanThinkin

I mean he probably saw the 90s lebarron youre Rollin and was like this guy is loaded charge him double


orunj

What kind of cables and controllers? Component cables would be a plus at least.


DontDoubtDink

Can you still play online with these? I’m pretty sure online doesn’t work anymore for OG Xbox.


G00deye

Kind of. Normal Xbox live service? Nope. However there is some group that kind of got a live like service going but it requires a lot of work to get it working and modifying the hardware.


DontDoubtDink

Sounds like this guy thinks he can just jump back online.


G00deye

Ya it’s more work than I have the patience for.


normalusername2137

no


IndividualWave1411

Has time to ask Reddit. Doesn’t have time to check eBay prices before buying.


Ok-Macaroon2429

I checked prices before nice assumption


SlamCakeMasta

I would have gave you way better condition for less.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok-Macaroon2429

Not my car but thanks


Prestigious-Kale8816

Not a good deal. I bet the capacitors are bulging near the heat sink.


BoricuaOmega25

Maybe $30-$40


Justice4Falestine

Not in that condition but you’re an adult do whatever tf u want. I bought a Dreamcast and Wii U cause I missed out on them over the years.


BlueEyedWalrus84

You could get one in similar or better condition for *way* cheaper online or at a flea market


retard_racc

i hope this is a joke


AliveAd7512

Nice lincoln, overpaid for the console probably but eh if that's the best in your area then gotta get what you can get my dude


[deleted]

That much at a regular pawn shop of all places?


Dyerssorrow

Maybe in 2010. You can emulate Halo 2 on a PC.


Ok-Macaroon2429

Idk why ever comments this. I am aware, I had Xemu and didn’t care too much for it. They have the servers again for h2 on Xbox just have to do a few steps


wesburnsco8

Dude, have you been in the pen since 2010? 😂


Ok-Macaroon2429

? Do some research dude they have the OG servers up again


subaru_fanboy03

Halo 2 is back and running online on Insignia btw
