Value of a Used PS3 (360GB Model): How to Price & Sell

I can't appraise your specific console, but here's how to determine a fair market price for a used PS3 (likely a 320GB or 500GB model—360GB wasn't a standard SKU).

Price Determinants

• Model: Fat (BC/non-BC), Slim, Super Slim. Backward-compatible Fats (CECHA/B/C/E) command premiums.
• Condition: Working perfectly > cosmetic wear > noisy fan / disc read errors > YLOD history.
• Included Accessories: 1 vs. 2 controllers (DS3/Sixaxis), HDMI/AV cables, power cord, original box, manuals.
• Storage: 12GB (Slim) < 160/250/320/500GB. Larger = more value.
• CFW / Modded: Can increase value to homebrew buyers; decrease for general buyers.

Where to Check Real Prices

• eBay "Sold Listings": Filter by model, condition, included items. Shows actual transaction prices.
• PriceCharting.com: Tracks daily averages for Loose / Complete / New across regions.
• Facebook Marketplace / Mercari / OfferUp: Local cash deals—no shipping fees, but lower offers.
• Local Retro Game Stores: CeX, GameStop, independents. Quick sale, lower payout (30–50% of private party).

Rough 2024 Ranges (USD, Working, 1 Controller, Cables)

• Super Slim (12GB/250GB/500GB): $80–$140
• Slim (120GB–320GB): $70–$130
• Fat (Non-BC, 80/160GB): $60–$110
• Fat (BC, CECHA/B/C/E 60/80GB): $150–$300+ (YLOD risk factored in)

Selling Tips

• Factory reset (Settings → System Settings → Restore PS3 System) – removes your PSN account.
• Clean exterior, polish disc slot.
• Take clear photos: front, back, ports, disc slot, controller, accessories.
• Disclose known issues honestly—builds trust, avoids returns.

Good luck with the sale!
