I think I may have just found Gary Davies Xbix One X Prototype

I think i may just have found the Xbox one X prototype that was owned by the Gary Davies while thrifting today. Whilst at a local thrift today, I stumbled upon a xbox one x prototype. Not thinking much of it other than these are already hard enough to find. I bought it, took it to my car and inspected it a little more and saw that there was a name printed on one of the stickers, "gdavies". I researched the name a bit and got some information from someone on Facebook saying that his name was "Gary Davies" who was a "principle project manager lead" and that he lead the XDK. He suggested that I try to find someone who can rip the Hardrive and share it with the molding community. He helped share it in a few Facebook groups and now im here, trying to get as much information and suggestions on what to do now! I dont know how to rip a Hardrive, i dont know anyone who can, and im not sure what to do. Should I sell it? Should I keep it? Should I continue searching for someone who knows more than me? Anything helps and i am very intrigued by this possible discovery. Please help!!

UPDATE After a few people telling me that this is a dummy console with no hardware inside, i went ahead and opened it up to find that it has every piece of hardware installed and i will be testing it later today to see if it will actually work!

Selling my retro collection

Anyone have any tips/advice? I have a collection with over 150 devices, 100's of games, plenty of controllers, accessories, and peripherals, plus some nice monitors to boot.

Pricecharting has my collection at roughly $20k, for selling everything all at once, id like to make $10k. That also puts me a couple hundred bucks over what I've spent on everything over the years.

I just need to move on with my life. This has became a hyper obsession and I need to change gears.

Has anyone here sold such a massive lot before? How'd you go about doing it?
