SSA
you're response intrigued me so I did a little research as your buddies should be banned with one or two reports from other players.
As I was poking through the forums over at xbox and come to find out all support services for the 360 no longer exist as of June 1st this year
so mod hack and swap parts all you want
previously all someone had to do was report modding and if the support team found evidence that account and machine would be toasted permanently
same with swapping parts you would get pinged and a message would appear saying the machine was under temporary ban and go to Microsoft for help.
so an apology from me as my info was a little outdated.
well that being the case I have several machines that should be sell able now
