skyfire Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 In my case I often look at Ebay for selling the old consoles. And I have noticed that one can earn pretty good price for the same. Have you ever tried to sell the old console which is ofcourse in functioning condition. Any site where you tried?
The Blackangel Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 I buy and sell on CL all the time. And I make pretty good money doing it.
skyfire Posted June 2, 2019 Author Posted June 2, 2019 We don't have much craiglist experience. I think in such case I'd just prefer the ebay or similar sites where the old stuff can be flipped for some cash. I am sure once new PS launches old would be on sales.
ARx182 Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 I sold my Xbox 360 for £30 with a couple of games last year, but I now think that I should have kept it a while longer. In terms of buying consoles, I would love to buy a PS2 or PSP just for the nostalgia.

I'm in a damn wheelchair now, but was a pro-am snowboarder when I was a kid.
Alexander. Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) I not only buy but I sell using WeBuy, which is also known as CeX. Their prices are reasonable and fair for exchanging goods and services. Most of their consoles are second hand but nonetheless, they're in great condition. Edited June 23, 2020 by Alexander.

The concept is dubious but their second hand products are in great condition. I bought a second hand Nintendo DS for my younger brother a while ago and it was in excellent condition.

The Blackangel Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 To my knowledge we don't have anything like that here in the states, unfortunately. If we did, I would be checking it out regularly.
Demon_skeith Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 I should sell my PS3, I really don't think I will ever play it again despite games sitting on it waiting to be played. Though I know I will play my PS2 again, but I see ebay offers good prices on PS3 systems.
skyfire Posted June 25, 2020 Author Posted June 25, 2020 Yes older consoles can be sold beccause in near future it would be harder to find buyers and also a lot of games would be ported to PC so no worth keeping them unless keeping antique piece.

You could probably get more money from selling your old gaming equipment on eBay or Gumtree however if you choose CeX, your paying for the convenience and a guaranteed trade. It's a shame they closed during the Lockdown.
Empire Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Custom upgrades and paint jobs usually help. Do it. My friend did that and that was a godsend for him. I don't got much advice other than encouragement but one piece of advice I should give is to rip your game discs onto a hard drive. That should be way easier than pirating like 50 games from the internet
skyfire Posted December 8, 2020 Author Posted December 8, 2020 That point is pretty strong regarding the hard disk porting of some of the old games. As for the piracy I guess that is inevitable in near future for the old console.

You'd be better off getting emulator as they can play the games you love at acceptable settings without crashing or some anti-piracy measure the original game director created activating.
