Need some ps1 advice

[Guest]

We're having a yard sale tomorrow, and I dusted off the PS1 to put in.  Although it is somewhat obsolete, I still want to make some sort of profit off of it.  The following parts are all being sold:

 

PS1 Console, with wiring etc

2 Controlers

1 Memory Card

3 Games: NCAA Final Four 2001, WWF Smackdown!, Tenchu Stealth Assassins

 

All games are pretty quality... I just have no idea what to shoot for.  We're having a bunch of stuff being sold, and I'm thinking a mother might buy for a smaller kid who can't afford one of the newer systems.  Any suggestions tonight regarding the price would be appreciated.  Thanks.

That's on you. You can charge whatever people are willing to pay. I can't say how much I would pay for a PS1 because I don't play it anymore and I haven't played one in two years.

 

Maybe

 

PS1 - $35-$40

 

Memory Card - $3-$5

 

3 Games - $10-$15 each.

 

I would try to stay towards the lower figures since the people could just as easily go to an electronic store and get the stuff that you have for a cheap price. You might want to consider looking at E-Bay.

Just a warning - people (or at least smart people) are less likely to buy your Playstation used, since used CD-Rom devices have a notoriously bad record of motors dying out after a moderate period of use.

 

Otherwise, I second the numbers that pinnacle suggested - they're fairly reasonable.

I actually ended up getting $70 for all of the items listed.  I thought that was very good.

About 2 years ago I sold my PS1 on eBay with 2 controllers and about 12 games for like $135.  I probably could have gotten more by selling all the games individually, but I was too damn lazy for that.
