Hey guys. Recently I have thought about getting an XBOX360 but I don't want to waste a lot of money, so I thought I might sell my old PS1 that I got like 10 years ago, I hope it would at least add 15% of the price of XBOX360. I am aiming for the XBOX 360 Slim 250gb without kinect and stuff like that. I guess its about 200-250$... Ok so anyway. How much would it be possible to sell my Playstation 1 (Slim) with a controller and 25-30 games (I am not sure how many, but it has quite a lot) I think it is also hacked so it is possible to play the games that you download off the internet because I tried one and it worked quite well... Please tell me how much it could cost. And if any of you need it feel free to offer. I am not sure but I might sell it for quite cheap if there are no big offers...\ EDIT: Oh almost forgot, I was moving so I put all the games in a baggy thing for CD's so they are not in the original packing.. :(

Well, you said it comes with 25-30 games? Might be an idea to sell them separate though, you'll make more money.

Hmm, maybe. I will check, Maybe I will do it that way. Thanks for the idea. :) Wow, yeah... Now I checked with one of the games I have, it cost 10$ minimum on ebay. So I could sell it for max 12$. Really nice idea mate. :) I might post the list of games I have, in case some one needs a specific game for their ps1.

It would be a good idea to sell the Ps1 with a few games to make it more appealing. I wouldn't use the most valuable games though.

The console itself is practically worthless nowadays except to collector's since both PS2 and PS3 can play PS1 games and there's PS1 games on the Playstation Network. I've seen the consoles go for as low as $15.

But with the games, that makes the whole package deal a lot more appealing. How much more appealing depends on which games they are. If they're nothing but sports games and crappy licensed-character games, then it's not gonna be worth too much more. However if you have a lot of sought after PS1 games such as Final Fantasy 7-9, Resident Evil 1-3, Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, etc.; then you could probably sell it all for quite a bit more.

The mod-chip also adds a bit of value to it (however keep those conversations to personal messages, the mods here are bit uptight about that one.) Not a whole lot though, I don't know about PS1 chips prices in particular, but I do know that you can get a Saturn one from a pretty popular gaming site for like $30.

Yeah of course. I'd sell the PS and perhaps 5 games that are good, but not rare. Like Tekken 3 etc. + the controller. And sell the games that are rare, I checked and i have like 5 of them, seperately.

u can get like $40 for the console (with the hookups and a controller of course) and the games are a toss up. some games are worth almost Nothing (sports games like Madden99), but some are worth a bit more depending on the popularity.

It all depends on condition, as the actual a/v setup is extremely limited given todays tvs. Even then I do see it going for much.
