I Won a “Limited Edition” Xbox Series S - How Much Can I Get for It?

I recently won an Xbox Series S in the Arnotts Shapes competition. It’s not the regular white console either - it’s the “only 10 made” custom Chicken Crimpy design 🤣 as shown here https://www.kotaku.com.au/2023/04/you-can-win-a-chicken-crim…

I’m not a heavy gamer but I do have a PS5, and I barely find time to play that, so I don’t have the time or desire to play Xbox as well. I want to sell it and get my kids the Nintendo Switch they’ve always dreamed of.

Arnotts said the prize was “valued at $1000”, but given the regular Series S retails for a lot less than that…I’m not so sure.

Oh, wise OzBargainers, where’s the best place to sell this console and how much do I reasonably ask for?

Edit : Just to be clear, I’m not looking for rip anyone off, or to be ripped off myself. Just want to know what the fair price is for this item, given it’s open but never used, and also a crazy custom design!

Thanks!

    If you're going to sell it, don't even open the box

    • iamtheunderdog on 23/06/2023 - 21:53

      The box was already open, I guess so they could do the custom wrap. But the pieces inside are still covered in that soft protective wrap and nothing has been unwrapped.

    That depends if it's an official rare SKU with it's own official matching box = $$$$$ to collectors.

    If it's just a custom vinyl sticker on a regular Series S then nothing special. Stickers are readily available for $15-20.

      It’s just a regular Series S box, which appears to have been opened and a custom wrap/sticker applied, but I haven’t had a super close look yet.

    Just stick it up on eBay for over $1000 (taking account of listing fees and postage) for now. Add offers to your listing later if it doesn't sell within your timeframe.

    I’d love to know how they valued it at $1,000 tbh.

      $160p/h for the guy to put the wrap on it? He's just the marketing intern so went through a few wraps (1hr each time) before getting it right.

    Thanks all - you’ve been very helpful.

    I’ll chuck it up on eBay and I’ll let you know how it goes 🤞

    Doubt you would get anywhere near $1k considering I've seen plenty on normal ones on marketplace for $200 you might get $350 if your lucky

    Congrats :)
    They always over inflate their prizes, i've seen them say some custom Xbox's are valued at 10k.
    Definitely would suggest requesting offers and see how you go, Arnotts shapes definitely not as appealing as a AAA game title.

    Congrats! Sadly being an Xbox maybe $50 max, a PS5 would’ve netted you a lot more.
