Exclusive Interview: Ebay Seller DeansToyBox Finds a 3rd Rare Xbox in Singapore

Dean also known as DeansToyBox, the owner of an eBay store ( https://www.ebay.com/usr/deanstoybox ) specializing in rare toys and collectibles, has just informed me he has found for the third time another Rare Xbox on Carousell.sg !

Back in Feburary of 2024 , Dean found his first Rare Xbox while searching on Carousell.sg, the Singaporean marketplace, while searching for normal Toys and came across a Hello Kitty Collector’s Pack , just to his surprise, there was a rare item that caught his eye in one of the photos, the Japanese Xbox of the Hello Kitty Collector’s Pack, still complete with its box, game, controller and manuals.

Dean says he contacted the collector via Carousell.sg and found out the seller only originally purchased the Xbox as she was a Hello Kitty collector and has never even played the Xbox. Dean knew that this Xbox was something special, and listed it up for Ebay Auction where it ended with a closing bid of US $10,050.00 (SGD $13,529.30) with Free Postage, much more than Dean was originally expecting the auction to reach when he started the bidding at $1,500.00.

Dean was more than excited to sell the Very Rare Hello Kitty Collector’s pack for such a high amount, However, Dean realized after trying to reach out to the buyer on eBay that the buyer wasn’t serious and didn’t reply to any of Dean’s messages asking the seller about payment. Dean then hopped onto Facebook Marketplace, where he ended up selling the Xbox to an Xbox collector for $6000 via PayPal.

Not long after the sale of the Hello Kitty Collector’s Xbox , Dean then found a NTSJ Spring Bundle Xbox with box in May of 2024 , which he quickly sold for $450 USD

Today however , Dean has listed his 3rd Super Rare NTSJ Xbox , that being the Xbox Original MaxOnline Limited Edition Elite Halo 2 Crystal Ice Blue Console ! Released around April 2004 exclusively through Starhub Singapore, this variant features a very cool custom box showcasing the beautiful Ice Blue Xbox included on the front. This edition just like the other crystal edition was either given away or offered at a discount once you signed up for broadband internet as part of an unlimited internet access plan through Starhub called “MaxOnline” which offered speeds at the time of up to a blazing 3Mbps. This MaxOnline Limited Edition is very similar to the Cool/Ice Blue Halo edition sold in Canada by Bell BCE for signing up for their broadband internet.

Included in this edition was an Ice blue edition Xbox with a matching S-controller and presumably a 2-month Xbox Live trial.

While this console doesn’t turn on , Dean has confirmed , Power, AV cables and Controller are tested and working on another Xbox. With only Only 500-1000 produced exclusively in Singapore according to “Consolevariations” website, Dean hopes to sell this 3rd Complete in Box Rare Xbox find on Ebay Auction, and is currently sitting at $900 USD at time of the article posting.

Limited-edition Xbox consoles are highly coveted by collectors due to their unique designs and special accessories. Microsoft has a history of releasing exclusive consoles that celebrate some of the platform’s most popular games and movies, such as Diablo 2 Remastered, Bluey, Sonic the Hedgehog and Palworld, with customized designs. These consoles often feature exclusive shells and skins, created in collaboration with game developers, making them a must-have for collectors and fans of the platform. With their limited availability and distinctive designs, these consoles have become highly sought-after items in the gaming community.
