Is it an early version Genesis 2? If so burn baby burn.
Its odd they allow video game stuff on Etsy.

Why is it sad? He is being honest and asking a fair price.
The condition of those precious beauties is what's sad. Couldn't the seller at least TRY to clean them :shame::shame:
For 50 bones I wouldn't bother either. If model ones were going for more I would tempted to buy them and flip them. However cleaning those things makes me crazy. I take them apart, soak and scrub them, use an air compressor. That damn grate on the side is the worst. These two took forever and even then they still look fairly filthy under close inspection.

Looks pretty good to me! A little dusty maybe, but the only way you can avoid that is constant dusting. Damn, I would've bought that Model 1 HDG Non-TMSS for $20!Quote:

Hell, I wouldn't mind, I'm not sure why anyone else would! Maybe every so often when you've got something that you think SEGA-16 would be interested in.Quote:

Acceptable? Is there an eBay Item Condition that says Holy Shit Snacks! Why even sell that thing? Just bury it properly and remember it for how it used to be.

That's atrocious! Just clean it up and find a new label for it if the electronics are OK.Quote:

I don't even think people would pay 10 dollars for a used PSone, much less one that doesn't work and looks like that.
I do not think this qualifies as laziness though, it is just not worth cleaning it.Quote:

I concede to your thoughts on that one. It was 2:30am when I posted that and my mind wasn't all there. I had looked at over 75 Playstation 1 consoles and I was tired :)Quote:

Even still, a broken one has the potential to be fixed.Quote:

A can of black krylon was probably cheaper than that marker.Quote:

What are you sega jesus?
Let it be clear, Destroying a retro console will land you a cozy spot in HELL. Merely failing to salvage a broken or abandoned one is a sin.
Seldom used?? More like seldom cleaned!

Maybe some people think dust serves as evidence of being retro or lightly used. :p Yeah, I know. Who am I kidding?
Meh..Who needs picture hygiene?
I am not overly OCD about the pictures I put on ebay but I have been known to take new sets of pictures because of a small smear only visible in camera light or a spec of dirt somewhere on the prsitine white background that is the top of my chest freezer.
It's amazing how one little spec of dirt can ruin a nice close up. Video games are one thing but something like camera equipment it really doesn't help the sale.
