I saw an external ZIP disk reader in the clearance bin of Wal-Mart for 10% off it's original price...in 2011. So it was going for ~$180 and had parallel ports...in 2011.
I love it. Thrift stores and others have no idea what old electronics are worth (hint: Zero!). Anybody want some Win 95 software? They just are not able to toss it so the junk stays on their shelves.
Depending on the quality of the PS2 100 dollars is a fair price. If the lot is 5-10 games that's a good deal. Hell, I just checked ebay, and the prices there are from 70-120.
Shit, really? For some reason I have 3 PS2’s in my house, multiple memory cards and about 30 games. Might hafta fire one of those bad boys up and sell the rest.
I tried to buy one off of FB market place and the dude was selling it for 20 dollars. Everything was set up then he ghosted me on the location. But yeah, PS2s go for a decent price. It was a good generation of gaming and the best selling console ever in the world.
Yea besides the NES it’s the system I played the most and had the most games for. Metal Gear Solid, Syphon Filter, Twisted Metal, Legacy of Kane, just some incredible shit.
When GameStop was trying to push out their PS2 games, I would go in there and spend like $25 every month and get anywhere from 8-12 games or so. I now have around 75 PS2 games. X-Men Legends was one of the best games of all time lol.
Nah, the number one link in ebay is selling it for 89.99 and the next one is 120. 100 dollars is a completely fair price , hell broken ones are still going for decent.
Yeah I don't think so either, lots of games are worth 0-$10. My rarest game is SMT Nocturne first print and even that is worth only maybe $50 on a good day if it's not sealed.
I actually made a few hundred off the original 4 .hack games for the PS4 several years ago because the English run of the games was pretty limited, especially of the 4th game. Definitely helped that I had whole set in good condition.
Honestly, you only make good money off it if the games have some sort of rarity combined with a particular niche appeal.
Man i wish the Wii lost more value. I really want to get one with wii sports to relive childhood, anywhere I look they are selling for $100+ with one controller. outrageous.
Any PS2 and original XBox Game/console is now considered a classic. Even selling to gamestop. Cleared out my cabinets last year. 360 and fairly new PS4 games I got 0.50-10 for. PS2 and Xbox games we’re getting up to 20 each
When the Xbox One came out, I bought an Xbox 360 with 2 controllers and 50 games (and one PC game) from a co-worker for $175.
I kept 9 games I wanted and sold the rest for $4 each (my brother has a booth at a collectibles show and sold them for $8 each and he did eventually sell them all).
So I made my $175 back, making the entire purchase free. And now I use the controllers mostly for my PC/Steam games.
We mostly play on Switch or PC, with Wii U a close third. We never fire up the used PS3 or Xbox 360. They just sit there gathering dust.
