PS1 prices vary widely by model, condition, and completeness. All figures are approximate 2024 US market averages for working units.

Category	Typical Range	Notes

Used PSone (Slim, SCPH-100)	$35–$75	Smaller, more reliable laser; includes LCD screen attachment value.
Refurbished / Mint Boxed	$90–$180+	Sealed or complete-in-box (CIB) with docs, cables, controller.
Bundles (Console + 1 Ctrl + Games)	$55–$150	Value driven by included titles (e.g., FFVII, MGS, Crash).
Developer / Debug Units (DTL-H)	$300–$1000+	Blue/Green cases; collector niche.

Model: PSone (slim) > late-fat (SCPH-700x/900x) > early-fat (SCPH-100x/300x).
Condition: Working laser, intact lid hinges, clean ports, minimal shell yellowing.
Accessories: DualShock controller (+$15–25), memory card (+$5–15), AV/Component cables, original box/manuals.
Region: NTSC-U/C, NTSC-J, PAL. Modchipped consoles sell higher but vary by buyer preference.
Included Games: Black-label "Greatest Hits" less valuable; black-label originals, long-box variants, and rare titles (Suikoden II, Tron Bonne, Valkyrie Profile) add significant value.

Test laser: Load a game, listen for excessive clicking/ticking.
Check lid sensors: Console should pause when lid opens.
Verify video output: Composite at minimum; RGB SCART (PAL) or Component (NTSC with rare cable) preferred.
