Does CEX accept an NTSC PlayStation 2?

I have a PS2 from the US in fairly good condition. The only thing is, it runs NTSC games.

I wonder if it's time for the Arcade and Retro Marketplace to accept that gen of console.
I know there's plenty who would love to have an NTSC PS2, as it gives easy access to US imports.
Games like Raiden III are much cheaper from the US, mad expensive in their PAL incarnations.
I have a TEST PS2 which is multiregion out of the box.

Honestly, I couldn't see CEX or any store take PAL PS2, never mind NTSC.

It's 2.5 generations back, definitely a retro console at this stage no?

100%, the A&R Marketplace would be the place to go

You'll easily shift it on the A&R Marketplace.
Follow the template there and no problems.
Plus, those that use it don't mess around, unlike those on Adverts can.
