GTA fan Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) Hey guys im planning on selling my ps2 on ebay as i never play it anymore and am wanting a 360. i buy stuff off ebay all the time but i have nver sold anything and im not sure the best way to go about it. Should i sell the console sperately and then sell the games or sell it all together. i will list all the stuff i have for it and if anyone could give me any advice it would be great. thanks in advance Ps2 (in good condition and works perfectly) 8mb ps2 memory card 2 official dualshock ps2 controllers Steering wheel with pedals Eye toy camera 21 games all with manuals I also have the ethernet adapter for online play and the headset for socom. forgot about those Games are: Gran turismo 4 Gta san andreas Resident evil 4 limited edition Call of duty 2 big red one Need for speed undergroung 2 Pro evo 5 The godfather Socom 2 us navy seals King kong Ace combat : squadron leader Madden 2003 Medal of honour rising sun Driver 3 Burnout 2 point of impact Midnight club 2 Call of duty finest hour Simpsons hit and run Sega superstars (for eyetoy) Conflict desert storm 2 Street fighter aniversary edition I know some of the games are sh*t but i may as well get something for them.

papanesta Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Try and sell it to someone you know, rather than eBay! I sold my Silver Fat-PS2, with two controllers, for £50. She wanted a second PS2 for her kids, as they live in two homes. I work with her, and she was more than happy to take it off me. EDIT: As for the games, that's a good list!

LordDiablo Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 i sold my ps2 back to ebgames for 45 us dollars. the memory card also pulled in like 10 us dollars which was more than any of the games i traded in with it. and apparently, the ebgames i went to said they don't take san andreas back for any platforms because there was too much controversy surrounding the hot coffee mod but who knows?

Raindancer Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I went iinto Game recently and just asked how much my fat PS2 would be worth and games, £17 for the consoles and between £2-£5 per game. I think I will just keep it as a dvd player Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/279235-selling-ps2/#findComment-4256217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintdave Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 GAME are quite tight with their trade in prices and even though they now own gamestation I'd still recommend going to them with your collection of games. You can either get cash in hand or credit for anything in the store, which is usually of more value than what you would get for cash. There's also a good selling/buying place known as CEX, on their website you can find out how much money each game would fetch.

GTA fan Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Thanks for your replies. yeah i traded games and consoles into game before and they are quite tight. @saintdave yeah we just got a cex store in my town but i forgot about it, i didnt know they had a website, il check it out. cheers Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/279235-selling-ps2/#findComment-4256320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA fan Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 I just checked out that cex website but it seems too good to be true. this is what it says it wud give me: For the ps2 console: £20 cash or £24 exchange. For all the games including eye toy and headset: £60 cash or £76 exchange For 2 controllers: £10 cash or £12 exchange For memory card: £4 cash or £5 exchange For network adapter: £10 cash or £13 exchange For steering wheel: £9 cash or £12 exchange. In total that means thta i can either have £113 cash or £142 exchange. Now that seems far too good to be true doesnt it!!!!!

Cran. Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I think I will just keep it as a dvd player I'd keep it for when you want to play your old PS2 games. I kinda regret selling my PSX..

GTA fan Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Nah they are a serious company and if you do have one locally take your stuff by to get it all confirmed. Yeah i think il stop by the shop and see cause i mean if thats true thats an amazing amount to get for it. hust seems to good to be true but. I wonder if the stuffs ok like i would want to exchange cause if i took cash id be loosing out on like £30 so if i was gona exchange for a 360 i hope it would work ok, i should it says it comes with a years warenty (SP) so it sound safe enough. thanks for pointing that out to me Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/279235-selling-ps2/#findComment-4256418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Dickfingers Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Definately sell it on Ebay, no question. You will get more for it than selling it to someone you know. I will be selling mine today, as like you I have bought an Xbox 360 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/279235-selling-ps2/#findComment-4259326 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be selling mine today, as like you I have bought an Xbox 360 Thanks i intially thought ebay too but then i waslooking at what pepole were getting for theres with th same amount of games and stuff and the highest i saw was around £80. some only reaching £50. the other thing im worried about ebay is theres no garantee ul get a good price, it might end up selling for barely anything unless u put a reserve on it but the people dont tend to bid on it. r u selling games with urs? thanks for your reply.

Tommy Dickfingers Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Yeah, I got 7 games with mine, and i've also got 4 which i'm selling seperately as they might fetch a few quid on their own. I will be listing them shortly. If you want a minimum of £50.00 then put a reserve on for piece of mind.

What have u traded in before. did u get the price that they suggested on the website? Probably 30+ PS2 games. Dunno about the website prices though. I used to trade for other games, but got good exchange for them. Better than game anyway. But even if you don't get the web price, just say you demand it or something.

sainraja Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I wouldn't sell it considering the big collection of games you have because I learned the hard way not to sell or trade things in. I guess if you really think you won't ever ever ever need it again I guess go ahead and trade it in. I wouldn't though.

Thanks for your reply. im not sure. its just that i really havent played it in months, maybe for about an hour and thats it but then i know if i sell it i will miss it. but then if i descide to get an xbox 360 i know i wont miss the ps2, im just deciding wether i want to splash out the money for a three sixty, thats the only reason i wud be selling the ps2 to help put some towards the 360. i do have bad experiences too with trading in, if i kept all the games i bought i would say id have about 50. i used to trade older ones that i didnt play much into game to get one new one but it was crap i had to trade in like 5 games to get one and i regret it all the time Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/279235-selling-ps2/#findComment-4263114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember trading about 11 games I had for the PS1 which I have ended up buying again now (well most of them.) I never should have sold them, lol. It's not easy to find them later, specially when the new generation of consoles have come out. I also sold some games I had for the Dreamcast which I also purchased again over ebay. I sold Power Stone (big mistake) and Shenmue. =/ Edited May 30, 2007 by sainraja Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/279235-selling-ps2/#findComment-4264915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
