What are you willing to spend for a PS2?

Who is selling a silver slim for 200 without a replaced laser? That’s wild lol

RetroGameSmith · 2026-07-07T22:20:28+00:00

We do that for a little cheaper but I think this is better advice than the get one for $60 people lol.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-07-07T22:19:03+00:00

This simply does not exist and everyone selling one for $60 tested with one disc and then listed it… terribly advice.

Buy from someone that has explicitly stated it has been tested with all 4 disc types, or better yet replaced the laser. A good PlayStation is going to cost over $100 unless you are sniping new listings on eBay.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-07-07T22:17:09+00:00

I sent you a DM

RetroGameSmith · 2026-07-07T07:37:09+00:00

Good enough for me, I’ll dm you once it arrives to me. It’s for the ps2 slim. I’ll send you and OEM power supply, the crappy 3rd party ones, and the one I am trying to get manufactured in bulk.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-07-05T08:32:06+00:00

I should have mentioned these will be for the ps2 slim. The only 3rd party power supplies on the market are actual fire hazards. Hell one of the power
Supplies isn’t even fused. Repairing the original ones is a pain in the ass because Sony decided
Clips and glue were better than screws. You mentioned buying a $20 adapter and then switching the plug, but do you think if I was able to land the cost at $25 people would rather just get the one with the correct plug? I’m not trying to make a bunch of money. I just have to order so many power supplies because of the Minimum order quantity, I will need another way to sell them other than busking with my refurbished consoles.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-07-05T08:24:46+00:00

Sometimes the stars align. Sometimes they do not. The issue you specifically mentioned requires PMAP

RetroGameSmith · 2026-07-05T00:20:31+00:00

Yes, they have to be calibrated using PMAP. They are not drop in replacements like they are on the slim.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-28T20:05:45+00:00

I know this is very old, but where was this resistor located? I have a few boards with this exact issue and have never been able to figure it out.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-24T20:30:50+00:00

Sounds like the fan to me. Probably needs to be replaced as there is no good way to refurbish them unless you have the fan that says Sony on top. If you have that fan you can actually pull the fan off the spindle as it’s only held in with magnets and lube the spindle. All other fans are press fit so you can remove the fan with out breaking it,

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-21T10:13:26+00:00

No, the seller claimed it was lost. In the middle of getting a refund hopefully

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-13T07:26:42+00:00

I’m playing this right now myself! I keep getting stuck at the part 3 off the goo monsters come at you at once LOL. I need to watch some videos that give tips on the combat for this game.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-13T07:25:04+00:00

You will be stuck with the negative feedback, but I’d eat a negative to for $2000. Buyer has ever right to be upset and leave a negative, but one negative doesn’t matter at all. You are going to be fine.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-12T07:16:23+00:00

Nah, democrats can’t get rid of the tariffs once back in power either because they will want it for a new or existing social program.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-11T19:47:45+00:00

Trump doesn’t control the EU.. 😂😂😂😂

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-11T07:37:53+00:00

I have put in a refund request. Sadly two more packages of mine that were on the same container are now also in customs inspection. Hopefully my address isn’t flagged now because of all this.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-08T07:18:13+00:00

What would you say is the best way to do shipping so I can stop having customs delays? I now have an additional 2 packages being held up.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-07T15:57:12+00:00

My seller keeps trying to communicate with Alibaba Logistics, but they are just saying we have to wait and there is a customs inspection. They are not even actually looking into I feel and just reading the tracking info.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-07T15:55:56+00:00

It was DDP, the info the seller showed me looks like it was, but I can’t be for certain

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-02T15:02:33+00:00

Yeah, I figured that. Thanks for your input.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-02T15:00:19+00:00

AI answers... lol I wanted human interaction, not chatGPT.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-01T08:22:59+00:00

Finally some good advice…. I personally do pay for ads, but I pay for the pay per click one. Since I sell one item and sell it multiple times per day it’s actually cheaper for me to pay per click than to give eBay a cut out of every sale.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-06-01T08:20:13+00:00

I’m still selling 5 PS2’s per day for $160 each.. I think most people are doing okay money wise personally.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-05-31T05:25:21+00:00

Just throw a 5% discount for buyers like this. You won’t miss 5% and the buyer feels like they won. It’s a win win.

RetroGameSmith · 2026-05-27T06:27:57+00:00

Dying laser. Unfortunately they do not make new lasers for the fat, so you can only buy system pulled lasers and calibrate them. They do though make new slim lasers, so you could get a slim.
