Alexander. Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Are old consoles worth any more than a brand new one? I've got a couple of retro devices which I'm looking to sell for profit. If the platform is in fully working order, is this something that is possible? Edited March 18, 2019 by xXInfectedXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I don't think they are rare enough to be considered antiques. In that case, you see them all over the US - and probably other countries, selling for 30 or 40 dollars a bundle (controllers, main console, attached wires). OK, you would find these mostly at used gaming stores - but also online (eBay, Amazon etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachiwo Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I still have my old Sega and Playstation 1 consoles but I'm not sure if I'm ever going to be willing to having them sold. I'm so much attached to my old games because of the memories I had with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Older systems from the 80's and before are selling for almost as much as they did when they were new in gaming stores. I buy a lot off CL. You can find some good deals there if you're patient. As far as what's better, the actual system is the only way to go. I hate all this modded and "classic" shit. They're not real games or real systems. They're an insult. They make me want to puke. I just flat out absolutely can't stand them.

skyfire Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I think currently using the old console is a bit liability. The reason being it can be hard to find the part for replacement. And also trying to repair at home can be nightmare. As an antique I can keep those 90s consoles. But these days reusing them is not worth it.

kingpotato Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 On facebook I'm in a lot of buying and purchase groups for videogames and yeah they tend to overprice old games and consoles, to be honest they are not worth it , they are old on the verge of falling apart but since they are classics or retro they put a high price.
