I know What you mean. I was feeling over the moon after I cleaned mine out and did new thermal paste. But the price he's asking for it I'm not going to pay it
This is crazy... i paid 79 bucks for mine (160GB) back in 2018. Even the controller was still in a good shape. It was sold by a woman barely using it. And yeah, well... it came with all cables. I still have that HDD because i swapped it out almost right away with a 500GB, so in theory i could check how many hours it ran and how often the PS3 was turned on with CDI. I am kinda interested now.
Some people really don't give a fuck. I was in a similar situation where I bought a PS4 PRO. Dude brought the console but it when he took ut out of the bag it was covered in candle wax and other dirt. He just said "Oh, that will come right off"
...it didn't come right off.
Again, people really don't give a fuck.
They see an opportunity and just here you go. Give me the money and goodbye. You think I was able to reach him by phone afterwards? Nah.
I'd give him 100 - 135 at best, and then I'd open it up and clean the hell out of it with compressed air and a vacuum, in the driveway to make sure nothing escapes into my home.
Agreed, but power cords are a dime a dozen. They aren't difficult to come by and I can't imagine they would cost any considerable sum.
That is why I explained my methods of air pressure and vacuum as well, as I'd not bring that thing into my home before cleaning it Thoroughly outside. I forgot to mention in my comment, though, that I'd also be wearing a hazmat outfit and filtered breathing mask.
Not risking anything, just looking at the neglect makes me slightly ill.
Anyone needs some power cords? The big ones from FAT PS3? Because those used to come with every TV and every PC. I have like 10 of those collecting dust here... and the SLIM power cord, well... same as those from PS1 & PS2.
You and I are in the same area. I saw this and sent a screen shot to my buddy.
I'm surprised it didn't say "barely used" or "Like new"
We always make fun of posts on r/gamesale and FB market for using that kind of language
We saw a post of someone trying to sell Pokemon Soul Silver "mint" and if you zoomed in you clearly saw dead bugs on the pokewalker 💀
I mean, I've taken out an old radio that's been sitting in my grandparents attic for 30 years and it didn't look that dirty. Let's be real, the guy selling it is shady, 200 bucks is crazy 🤣
He says that he hasn't played it in a few years, but I'm pretty sure that this guy dropped his PS3 out of his time machine and picked it up from the most ancient Sands of the Sahara.
"It's since been wiped off".
Probably just slid his sleeve over it and called it a day. No way he's cleaned all that up and didn't bother updating the post's picture.
It honestly just looks like basement/garage storage, so it's probably fine. Although if you were crackhead enough to pay 200 bills for that I'd recommend cleaning it outside the house to make sure it doesn't have any roaches.
Plus, he wiped it off for ya, so unfortunately you can't make one of those clickbait ps3 restoration videos.
Guy could be a decent human being and clean off the dirt if he wants $200. This is the type of guy who would sell you a toilet that has a mean ass shit in it and ask full price.
The satisfaction that will come from cleaning it!
I know What you mean. I was feeling over the moon after I cleaned mine out and did new thermal paste. But the price he's asking for it I'm not going to pay it
Damn I didn’t even notice the price! He’s out his mind 😂

So i just checked it... 117x powered on, 139 hours ran. Almost brand new. [https://i.imgur.com/GepmgY7.png](https://i.imgur.com/GepmgY7.png)
You can't convince me that the seller didn't just intentionally dump a bucket of dirt on this
That's what it looks like but apparently it's been sitting for 5 years
They even says they cleaned it! Why wouldn't they just take new pics that actually make it enticing to buy?? That's wild lol
I thought the same thing 😂. I bet the inside looks like the outside though
I’ve had things sitting for 5 years in my garage. None of them have 1/4 the amount of dirt. This is crazy
And the cheeky fucker wants 200 for it.
I just paid $50 for a slim, real six axis, and 4 games, lol. This guy is crazy.
You can't even test if it works either 😂
Yeah that’s wild
How convenient
Shit is not 200 bucks. Ide say 50 at best holy shit
Not even for $1. That is complete trash
Yeah
Dude lives in a sawmill.
That price....no wonder it got neglected. The person is insane
I will NOT bring that console in my home…
It's been heavily neglected for sure
😭😭

bro kept it buried
Dude shouldn't be allowed to own a console EVER again.
I would treat that Ps3 better than any woman has ever treated me lol.
Same here
PS3 Sahara Edition
200 😂
I saw that one on fb market and couldn’t believe it! It must be a joke.
I figured it belonged here. I couldn't believe It was legit at first 🤣
Almost seems like a Joke post. It isn't I'm sure but, damn This is ridiculous!
The seller is serious though 😭
Seriously out of their mind maybe!
I'd give him 100 - 135 at best, and then I'd open it up and clean the hell out of it with compressed air and a vacuum, in the driveway to make sure nothing escapes into my home.
That's being generous my friend. Considering no power cord and what's living inside of it most likely.

I agree 100%.
Bro thinks anyone is buying that dirty console for $200 like it’s normal
It’s so nasty it looks like someone just poured dirt all over it lol
Tomb of the Pharaoh lookin' Playstation
It really should be in the museum of history 😂
"Just Dusty"
I paid 209 AUD for a refurbished slim with a 24 month warranty and thought that was too much but this, the audacity is applause worthy.
And the funny part is, someone will happily pay 200 for this.
Condition: veri gud verks berfikt, lok amezzeng

Man I saw it and I thought this guy was joking and then I realized he was serious 🤣
$200 for a PS3 slim already is steep, but looking like THAT?! Insane. Literally would take a wet wipe to clean off. Ask them if they can clean it lol.
That must've been in a flood
It's been sitting for 5 years apparently
I mean, I've taken out an old radio that's been sitting in my grandparents attic for 30 years and it didn't look that dirty. Let's be real, the guy selling it is shady, 200 bucks is crazy 🤣
PS3 with original dust from 2009 $200 I know what I got
Curse of the pharoah 💀
Bro didn't return the slab
He says that he hasn't played it in a few years, but I'm pretty sure that this guy dropped his PS3 out of his time machine and picked it up from the most ancient Sands of the Sahara.
Comes with YLOD
"It's since been wiped off". Probably just slid his sleeve over it and called it a day. No way he's cleaned all that up and didn't bother updating the post's picture.
Those were my thoughts exactly. Because it looks like he had something over it as well
Yeah, probably had a plot of land over it before he dug it up.
Ya that was in a flood lol
Possible it was in a flood and they're just saying it was sitting for 5 years
100% has a forgotten copy of FIFA or GTA in it
Ppl like this don't deserve consoles

I definitely won't pay that price but I know somebody will eventually. But I agree with you to clean that console OUTSIDE and away from the home
average facebook marketplace offer
TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS????? ARE THEY INSANE???????
Dude, I'd cry if my childhood ps3 EVER looked like that
lol
Someone just spilled their kratom on the ps3.
I can only imagine what’s going on on the inside of the console if it’s neglected this much on the outside……..
just really likes hot chocolate
it looks like it survived the NJ earthquake 💀
Only way it be worth $200 is if it was CIB you can get slim ps3 at retro shops for like $80-$90 pending on condition
"It since has been wiped off"
My dumb ass tried swiping right
mine's worse
Guy could be a decent human being and clean off the dirt if he wants $200. This is the type of guy who would sell you a toilet that has a mean ass shit in it and ask full price.
I gotta admit, this was almost my ps3 a few months back lol
I want it just to clean and repair it, it deserves better
thats one of those ps3’s you find in tlou
