Xbox question

I was wondering if the game stores erase the hard drives when people sale their XBox? I was thinking it'd be nice to buy a used Xbox and have it already full of thousands of songs or whatever. Is it possible for an Xbox thats been modded to slip through and get purchased as a normal Xbox at the game stores.

Long Live my current Thomson Xbox, it'll hopefully be 3 next month, it plays fine.

It's probably not possible for a modded Xbox to be sold (maybe a softmod), but for actual chipped Xboxes or switching HDs would require opening the Xbox. To open the Xbox you need to remove a screw that's below a sticker and the screws beneath the foam feet. Most modders just unscrew it through the sticker leaving a hole, which indicates the Xbox has been opened and will not be accepted by EB/Gamestop.

I guess if you're really careful about removing the sticker it could be possible, but like Blackace said, no one would sell a modded XB :)
