Demand for used PS3

hollywoodhoppy

This may go against the charter and if so delete as appropriate but wondering where are the best places to sell secondhand PS3(except ebay), just not gettin value out of it and would there be any demand for one?the price will be right of course :rolleyes:

Apologies to any dedicated PS3 fans!

what price have you tried to sell it at? most people will want to buy from store where they have knowledge they can bring it back if somit goes wrong, granted yours may stil have warranty and that but its just peoples mindset.

also the fact its second hand people will be looking to get 150-200 off original cost.

Mitch Connor

you aren't going to shift it at €750, regardless of the HDMI cable, the two games and blackhawk down - I could buy the console new for that price. As dodgey69 says, you'll have to take a hit on it - the demand for the console just isn't there to be selling it at cost price second hand. If you'd tried the same thing with the Wii a couple of weeks after release you'd have made a profit - cause you simply couldn't find the things instore - but PS3s are in good stock most place, they aren't ahrd to buy.

hollywoodhoppy

awh thats no probs, was just puttin 750 out there as a negotiable price, could go 675 or so, no interest in really havin it TBH, have the 360 and get loads of free games for that but i never get a chance to even play that. if i was selling it for 750, i'd be tempted to throw in psp and a few games accessories etc.

damn, just read back over that, i think i'm gettin old, i've no time for gaming

SeantheMan

Yeh but m8, ppl arent buyin it for the PSP.
Theyd want the PS3 :eek: ...and at 750..well..thats a lot
Cosidering it sells for 630 standard(no game and joypad i know)...but tell me something...do you still have the warranty and guarantee ?:rolleyes: ..cause if it were to break ye know

I bought my Wii and then sold it 4 days later..this at the stage where it was in demand and ye couldnt get it anywhere...and STILL took a hit of 60:rolleyes: euro

Was better having the money in my pocket though than a console that wasnt getting used tbh

Oh ye, i'm takin that on board, thanks for your advice, as i said, the price is negotiable and i would go well below 750, that was just a benchmark really, it still has warranty, receipts etc, all above board. was really excited about getting it and all but with so many games on the 360 its not at the races at the moment

Mitch Connor

if you need the money, sell it. But, if you don't actually need the money i'd keep it - there are going to be some fantastic games on it, and PES7 will be much better on it then on the 360 i reckon, though that may not be as important to you as it is to me!

Why do people like pro evo? You can only play football so many ways...

just reading the for sale section there in the evening echo........a guy selling a ps3 still in box for €450.....so hes taking a €180 hit. And a guys selling a ps3 with 2 games for €550..........so your price is way too high.

Question : what are you selling with it ? :eek:

I cant see what games or things your selling with it in your first post.

And i cant acess boards.ie adverts section

from work

Mitch Connor

F1, Resistence:Fall of Man, 2 controllers, BlyRay remote, Black Hawk Down and a HDMI cable.

GT HD is also on it, but that is free, so not really a selling point.

anto1208

Why would you want to sell it its going to last 10 years !!! .

The 360 is allready behind it in every way bar the games and in 6 months the PS3 will have that sorted .

That's only if you want them, and you can get the wireless kit, play & charge kit, live sub and HD-DVD drive for far cheaper.

By looking at them with my eyes

PS faster and the graphics are better I have both i have the godfather on both so as a test we put them up on split screen the PS wins .

PS can play back video Xbox cant
PS can play back mp3 xbox cant
PS can play pro evo xbox cant
PS is wireless xbox isnt
PS plays HD disks ( blue ray ) xbox cant
PS you can browse the internet xbox cant
PS games are released at 60 euro xbox 70 - 75 euro

Now im not slamming the xbox i love mine i think ghost recon 2 is one of the best games ive ever seen , but if it came down to it i had both and one had to go then it would be the xbox . Mainly because i know the xbox is going to break down any day now where as the playstation hasnt had any such problems .

you have to compare like for like or else it doesnt make sence .

PS can play back video Xbox cant - Yes it can, with even more formats supported in the coming update
PS can play back mp3 xbox cant - yes it can and has always been able to, even during games. Try that on a ps3

PS can play pro evo xbox cant - Yes it can http://www.game.co.uk/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=11325&mid=329386
PS is wireless xbox isnt - Depends if you buy the add on
PS plays HD disks ( blue ray ) xbox cant - Depends if you buy the add on
PS you can browse the internet xbox cant - You got me, such a system seller of a feature :rolleyes:
PS games are released at 60 euro xbox 70 - 75 euro - I've never had to buy a game at €70-75. Most I've ever paid for a 360 game is €60.

And using Godfather to compare graphics. LOL try using a game that actually uses the power of each console or at the very least one that hasn't had a year of extra development time.

I was comparing like for like, I just wasn't talking about rip off high street prices.

Yes if you buy the add on thus making it more expensive RE: my first point .

Have you played pro evo its **** only pro evo i ever traded in in was that bad .

I used the godfather because its the only game i have on both but ive seen ghost recon 2 playing and its better aswell .

So you can now play video so basically they saw the PS3 realised it was better and are now trying to catch up , Why didnt they do this last year .

Same for the mp3 's

Basically they are playing catch up now even though they had a year and a half head start

Why are you talking crap - the 360 could always play video (they will be adding MORE formats soon, not adding the functionality as new!) and it could always play mp3.

Which isn't as bad as you make it out to be cause the prices you game are wrong which brings us back to my point ¬_¬

It isn't out for the PS3, not even a demo. Where are you getting this from?

Can you read? They always had MP3 support and they can be played in game, unlike the PS3. They've had video support since launch, added the ability to stream your own videos to the console well before PS3 launch and they are expanding on it further in the next update.
