Hey,

I'm considering paring down the collection just a bit so I can afford to get my place fixed up for next year. I'm considering selling

1) 10 Mil model, boxed (box in great condition) w/ controller, all inserts and styro (even has the foam wrap around the console inside the Styro. #035. Nice felt feel to the console. Mint aside from a missing parallel port cover on the back - I wouldn't have even noticed except that the previous seller let me know. I believe there are 4 known copies in collector hands, not all boxed.

2) Launch Team XB. Imprinted silver signature of Bill Gates underneath jewel. Light green color, with Special Edition written on front. Bought directly from an engineer at Microsoft. Well less than 50 of these were made, under 10 in collector hands. Comes with 2 prototype large-style green controllers, never released to public. One was sold last week on ebay for 130 bucks BIN, and the BIN was snapped up the first day. ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41017&item=8201259425&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW ).

I am not interested in selling either for under US1000. If you are seriously interested, PM or leave a post here. If there is enough interest, I'll most likely sell through silent auction on DP sometime in early August, to make it fair for
anyone who wanted to buy. I'm going to keep the lower value le's (green dev ps, blue dev ps, hilfiger gb, nes gba, etc.), but I do want to get my place out in Boston fixed up and could use the money.

Do you have any pics (for either)? If the pic(s) for the 10 Million model PS1 look good enough to me, I'll start saving up for it immediately...

The PSX pic doesn't include the inserts or Interactive Demo 6 which are also packaged in. If we did an auction, I would of course provide better quality pics.

it's really soft. It's kinda like a fine woman. You touch it, feel the silkiness, fall in love and spend lots of money on it.

and you thought it was going to be romantic. All they want is money i tell ya!

just kidding.

It is really soft though. I'm sure kevin can give more details about it as I have only touched it once.

It's a dark blue system given away in a contest in 97/98. There were 50 made, but a ton of them are still in Sony's vaults, so much fewer than 50 were actually given to the public. As Josh mentioned, it has a "satin" feel, hard to describe, but pretty cool. Also comes with a matching blue controller.
