Smelly Xbox For Sale. Works Philips Drive - Scenyx Entertainment Community

Participate in this forum at your own risk!

Xbox-Scene is not responsible for any transactions, or any actions of it's members in this forum whatsoever!

Anyone choosing to conduct any sort of transaction with another member on XS does so at their own risk and expense.

As individuals, you need to take responsibility for your own actions, and you need to take responsibility for the fact you are dealing with strangers on the internet. Xbox-Scene is not a professional Sales service.. and is provided free and without any kind of warranty. We also will not ban people because you claim they ripped you off. Do NOT send the the "evidence" as we simply do not have the time, manpower, or will to follow through on your complaints. We have no intention of mediating any more disputes.

If you are ripped off, the only thing you are allowed to do on XS is to report it in the thread of the seller/buyer/trader ONCE. Alternatively you can make a note in your signature stating your grievance with the user. What you cannot do is spam other XS forums with your complaints. Do not make threads complaining about transaction that have gone bad. Do NOT contact staff complaining that a user has ripped you off. Do NOT make new threads in this or any other XS forum complaining about the "user" that ripped you off.

Xbox-Scene Does not recommend or endorse the use of the XS BST forums unless you are willing to take responsibility for your own actions, and you assume all risk. We do however recommend that people who wish to assume that risk should research the people they are dealing with, and alternatively search out and use professional Sales forums.(many of which offer the services and customer protection you keep asking us for here on XS but will NOT get here!)

People who continue to ignore the clearly posted rules and post complaints all over the place despite moderators and staff closing and moving them.. expect two things to happen.. the person complaining (and not necessarily the accused) will have their account closed, and that BST will get closed altogether. XS has already dedicated too much time and human resources to maintaining this area of the site. If it continues to be a problem we will close it.

Also.. do not ASK for any expansion of the BST type forums as we have no intention of adding forums to this area, or to expand the services provided.

Feel free to LIST your XBOX or XBOX item for Buy, Sell or Trade. others can feel free to offer any number of legal items (under the XS rules of course) or cash in trade. What people cannot do, is start new thread, and offer NON xbox items. Period. No new threads with people offering non-XBOX stuff.

UPDATE:Getestore and Similar “store” / commissioned pre-made store type concepts – No Commission Based Sales. Period. This is pretty much a BST and BST360 specific rule. Any products offered for sale should be in direct possession by the seller. From now on, and new post in any of the BST sales type forums on XS, must list the products and merchandise in their entirety in the post on XS, or don’t bother posting at all on our site. To be perfectly blunt, XS is not here for you to make money. XS sponsors are the only exception to this rule. The items listed in any sales thread or post on XS, must actually be in the possession of the person(s) listing it for sale or trade. Selling items for a 3rd party business via a commission based "Ready Made Internet Store" does not constitute owning the stock, and will result in a closure of the thread, and possibly the account. We want members to be directly accountable for any actions/tractions they conduct on our site.

UPDATE JAN 2007: Do not start threads asking "what can I get for 5$, 10$ etc" as staff will close them and make a ban req on your account. when making a new post, either Offer to sell a product, or trade a product. If you want to buy something.. go into an existing thread and make an offer on a product or service. DO NOT MAKE NEW THREADS ASKING WHAT YOU CAN GET FOR $5 bucks etc.

Do Not Offer to Buy, Sell, or Trade GameFly Subscriptions. Members can get their own subscriptions.

UPDATE: XS will not DELETE threads on demand. Even in light of the Raids on US shops. You can request it be removed/made invisible, however, we will keep it open for 30 days if you do so, allowing those you have serviced can comment, communicate, and / or complain or raise issues. We can make some requested edits though of info you posted, however, we will keep it on file. Note, deleting or removing your thread at this point is too little, too late. the authorities have that info already, and worse, every search engine and spider crawler on the net has it archived.

Here is the background on the Unit. I purchased three XBOXs online and recieved them yesturday. I was told they did not turn on. I tried them and only one did not turn on at all the others just christmas lights. So I deciede to open up the one that does not turn on and noticed it smelled funky. I took off the top and bame I was hit with a smell that made me gag. The XBOX was covered in dead roaches (the bug not the smoking kind). There was roach crap evry where. It was caked on everything. Well I tok it apart and had to throw away the case, hard drive and the cover to the philips drive. I clean it up with anti static wipes and clorox wipes. I got everything cleaned but could not get rid of the smell. I placed evrything I could in zip lock bags and sprayed a napkin with Lysol and ziped it up. I help 50% of the smell. But if you get real close you can still smell it. I sprayed Lysol in the air and let it land on the motherboard and other stuff which helped some more. I clean and clean and then place everything back in another XBOX case I had powered up locked a hard drive in and it works. The philips drive works perfect and everything else does too.. Nothing it just smells. Now on a scale of smell from one to ten I say it is now a five or so. Make offers. It is a v1.1 mobo, philips drive, stock hard drive. I say about $40 plus shipping if not make offers.

Will only sell everything at once. Also it is just for the console no cords and controllers. I might have an RF unit but no RCA jacks. Also No international shipping, wil only ship in the lower 48. Shipping will be about ten bucks and will be sent USPS with delivery comfirmation. I do take paypal but if you want to send a money order please get a tracking number or something for it to prove it was sent.

Member No.: 5250 Xbox Version: unk 360 version: unknown	This exact case happened to me with an XBOX I got for $60. And I spent about 3 hours cleaning it completely. Therefore, $40 + shipping for one that has already been cleaned up is a really good deal. People just need to mantain their XBOX in a neat place to avoid all this bug issues. I had to wear a mask when cleaning this thing up because it made me throw up as well. Good Luck selling. This post has been edited by explosive2: Jun 9 2005, 01:24 AM
