I had a look at the yahoo auctions through Buyee yesterday and the prices seemed just as nuts as here, if not worse, in most instances. Or is it just a case of scouring the site every day looking for the odd bargain?

Yeah exactly that I drill down to the systems I'm buying for and filter to ending soon to see what bargs can be snagged.
And also search not categorised for particular titles in English and Japanese - I've found a lot of games just under "Toys".Last edited by Baseley09; 19-01-2024, 18:17.

Thanks guys, I'll keep an eye out.
Made this absolutely lush purchase from Jamie on here of an original PS with PSIO. Being the top bloke he is, he somehow managed to have preloaded pretty much all my favourite games on to it before shipping, or more likely we just have very, VERY similar tastes.
OG hardware with everdrives/ODE solutions are definitely the way for me, absolutely loving my ever increasing (with spousal approval ) set up! The modern comforts of bluetooth pads is a major plus too.

Snap, picked a jpn one one up off ebay a few weeks back for £39 i have yet to test it though with any games as all my PS1 stuff is hidden in the mountain of moving boxes and as the machine came with no cables i'd need to find my stepdown too. I still have a picopsu board to install but the seller put a tamper sticker on so i need to check it works before i mess with that. Was apparently maintained and the drive rails lubed and the laser tuned up it also seems to have a new spindle as i don't remember them been grey, kind of glad it's replaced as all the ones i have come across seem to have the little square flaps on the spindle near the disk holding bearings that keep the disk snug broken off or hanging on by a thread. Wanted the original release as you have finger room to pick up and put the disks in, with the tiny psone you barely have room to grab them leading to them slipping out of your hands if not careful or them sliding all over the spindle hub as you try to get them in. Disks scratch easy enough and some in my library are not cheap to replace.
While there are loads of ps1 out there it's kind of a pain trying to find one thats not trashed, loads are cheap on ebay but all yellow or the drives are busted. Even if i try in japan it's the same hassle. Fingers crossed this one doesn't have to go back.
