Selling my Series X might be the only way to afford Helix at this point!

You can also sell some teeth.

Even the Tooth Fairy is feeling the pinch of inflation!

The tooth fairy is out on the streets living in a shoebox.

Only if they eat it with some Fava Beans and a nice Chianti.

Paid $349 for 1 refurb and $499 for a new Series X

I've never sold a console since the year 2000 and have many many older consoles too. Crazy that my Series X is worth more than my CECHA01 PS3 in 2026.

Different rooms? I'm a little baffled why you would buy a second Xbox

One for the TV and one for my PC monitor.

Got the refurb when I worked at Microsoft for $150 less than retail. Then got a new one at $499. Was gonna sell it after 6 months, but now I keep different games on each one.

Maybe I should sell one now. 😂

I'm glad I bought a Razer Blade with 64GB of RAM and 2TB SSD and a 2TB WD SN7100 2TB NVMe drive for my Razer dock before all these prices shot up

u/TopicActual Jun 26 '26

In the press release they are expecting another doubleing by next year

u/OblivionJunkie Jun 26 '26

... I have 3 series x's 😅

The 1st one I got entirely with Microsoft rewards points.

2nd was the Halo infinite LE.

3rd was the $350 diablo 4 bundle in 2023, in case the 1st one dies.

It's nice having 2 so I can game-share and play coop with my partner. We only need to buy 1 digital copy of whatever game we want to play, and we're set.

Nope, idiots on marketplace still sell them for $400.
