Carousell: Most listings; negotiate meet-up at MRT (test before pay). Check seller rating >4.9, 50+ reviews.
Sim Lim Square (Level 3–5): Shops like **GameMartz, TechXpress, Gadget Guru**. Test on their TV. Ask for 7-day store warranty. Pay cash/NETS for discount.
Cash Converters / CeX (Web/Store): Graded (A/B/C), 24-month warranty (CeX), but priced 20–30% above peer-to-peer.
Facebook Marketplace / HardwareZone Forums: Good for bundles from collectors.

Bring a game disc (PS3 & PS2 if BC), USB stick, HDMI cable.
Boot to XMB → Check System Info (Model, FW version).
Play disc 10 mins → Check fan noise, overheating, video artifacts.
Test all USB ports, Bluetooth (sync controller), Wi-Fi.
Check disc drive: eject/insert smooth, no grinding.
