    Default Bust A Groove Demo + King of Maracas + 360 Launch Team Faceplate

    I recently acquired two unusual items and can't find prices for them. Rather than make two topics, I'm combining them. Also, these will be for sale, so if anyone wants to shoot me an offer for either one, please do.

    First up, the new addition to this topic: Bust-A-Groove Demo! It's got the sleeve, disc is in very good shape with just a couple light scuff marks.




    Next up is an off-brand Samba de Amigo maracas set, missing the floor mat. They are called King of Maracas and are made by a company called Topway, apparently. And yes, I know, the box is upside down in the second pic. Also, the box is pretty beat up. (This has been listed on Ebay. Will let everyone know how it goes if anyone's interested.)





    Finally, I have an Xbox 360 launch team faceplate. I can hear some of you guys going "Ah! That's on Ebay!" ... actually, it WAS, but I can't seem to find any besides one that didn't sell. The other ones I saw were all from the UK and some even stated "UK Launch Team." Mine is U.S., for one thing. It's also an official Microsoft one and not Madcatz like the one that didn't sell. And it's factory sealed, as you can see in the pic.

    The Bust A Groove demo may have also came with a paper insert instruction sheet. I haven't seen one personally but have heard from other collectors that they do exist. But even without that the demo is somewhat uncommon and goes for around $8-15. A few years ago it was going for $20-40 but the price has came down alot.

    Thanks man. I actually just tossed it up on Ebay today since I really need some quick cash and it got a bid almost immediately (at $5).

    The faceplates are still desired, but since newer units can't swap out (and they never quite took off like was hoped) the demand is down to hard core collectors. Last ones of it I saw sell were in the 100 range.

    The range on Bust a Groove demo sounds about right too.

    Can't help on the 3rd party maraccas, but the party ones have dropped in price some lately so I really can't tell you what to expect.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    That's for the info! I'm not sure where/how I want to sell the faceplate, if Ebay is the right way to go or just list it on forums and hope someone who collects em will see it. I've got the maracas up on Ebay so I'll post what happens in here.
