US$ 36000 faceplate for the Xbox 360?

[Kirauni]

Maybe you've already read about this, but there seems to be an auction at ebay.com in which one tries to sell a faceplate for the new XBox made out of gold...
Although this is very likely to be a fake it's just funny to have a look at the auction.

that auction seems rather dodgy! but funny nonetheless!

What use would I have for a piece of yellow metal?

Amusing to say the least. If you want to blow $36,000 on something random...

I guess, but if you really want to spend $36,000 USD on something random, why not send it to me? Help fund my education. :P

If it's not owned by some Rap artist in the next MTV Cribs, I'll not need to figure out how this world works. :p

Some people just have too much money to spend, I guess. I can hardly see the use for such a thing at all.

"The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale."

It gathered too much controversy and was pulled off of eBay, it seems.
