(Reluctantly) selling my PS2
« on: June 17, 2011, 06:43:23 pm »
    So, I've made the decision to sell my PS2.  I will not take it to Game Stop, because they want $10 for it, and I know that they'll sell it for more than 10 times that.  I'm wanting to sell it to someone who will pay me a decent amount for it, so that neither one of us gets ripped off.

What it includes:
  • The system itself is a thin model; from what I understand, it's the last model design that they had prior to releasing the PS3.
  • There is only one controller, a Game Stop brand.  I also have an extension cord for it.
  • There is also the standard connector cable for the TV, as well as the power cable.
  • I still have the original box for it.
  • There is also the original CD required for making the system playable on-line.  (I never installed this feature, so you'd have to do it yourself if you want to play that way).
  • One memory card.
  • I will throw in at least one game, as well.  I'll have to look through my room in order to figure out what I have and what I'd be willing to part with.  (There's some games that I'd like to keep).

Games that I recall:
  • ICO
  • Red Ninja: End of Honor
  • King of Fighters XI
  • Sonic Mega Collection
New add ons:
  • Rumble Roses
  • SmackDown vs. RAW 2008 featuring ECW

I'm asking for $50, but am willing to negotiate the price.  If you'd like extra games, I'm thinking $1-$5, depending on the title.  I'll post more tomorrow, once I've gone through what I have.

Actually... Gamestop sells used PS2s for $50. :/
And a redesigned PS2 (slim) is only $10 more for $60.

It's still in remarkable condition.  The argument that they gave me was that the plug-in parts on the console itself were "too tight."  Whatever that means...  As for the hold, sure, I'm in no major rush.

I must've looked at the "new" ones then, because those were the only PS2s labeled I saw.  Either way, I'd be getting robbed.

Update: These are two more games I'm adding onto the list.  Check out the original post to see what they are!

Are you by any chance selling games by themselves? I'm really interested in ICO.

I could do that.  Does $5 sound good to you?  If so, we can meet up somewhere and make the exchange at any time.

So, a little update for this:

I will go ahead and put all of these for grabs, as well.  I have also taken off the Sonic game, because I'm planning on donating it to the Charity Auction.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I'm free any time except Friday-Sunday after 5pm, and I live in the Tigard area. I can take the bus pretty much anywhere, though.

Okay then.  How about if we meet at Pioneer Square sometime on Tuesday?

I guess I should've looked at this thread sooner, too... how about some time during the con?  I'll be working at the pre-reg line during Friday.

...well, it looks like I've got yet another update for you.  Since my primary position is Charity Auction, I will be helping out with that instead, at least until we get things finished.  (I'm thinking/hoping that it'll take no more than a couple of hours).  If you'd like, I can shoot you a PM with my phone number so you can call me.  I'm thinking that I'll be re-returning to the con at around 3-3:30.

Alrighty! I'll be in the pre-reg line tomorrow at like 3:30 and then in the registration line (for a friend) on Saturday. Then Imma be at a photoshoot at noon on Saturday.
And that's all I have planned, haha. So we can eventually arrange something sometime somewhere.

Figures that this would've happened...

I ended up not working pre-reg, due to other responsibilities.  I helped with Main Events set-up, did some helping out with my GF off of con, then got the Charity Auction site set up.

Let's try this again... ;D My next paycheck is the day after tomorrow, so I'll be out and about that day anyways.  Would you be willing to meet up on Thursday the 15th?

I forgot the Kcon forums existed. Maybe we should try shipping, if you still have the game?

We could, except that with shipping, it costs money.  I'd still prefer to meet in person.

Are you planning on going to OryCon?

Okay.  Well, I'm going to be there on Saturday, possibly Friday.  If you can make Saturday, that'd be perfect.
