Credit Crunch – Hardware Loses
January 26, 2009 | In Defcon | 4 CommentsWell guys as you can tell from the last update being on Boxing Day not much has happened in the world of PAL PlayStation collecting. I for one have not bought anything so far this year but that is more down to money than not finding anything.
And on the subject of money (and the title of this post) I have some kind of upsetting news from the Defconsoft household. Due to the current financial climate a few items from my collection are going to be going up for sale on eBay in the not to distance future, in fact I am pretty much giving up collecting PlayStation hardware and am going to concentrate on software, demos and promo items. I don’t really want to give up the hardware collecting but needs must at the moment, and having a house to live it is better than owning a rare console.
So basically that means that my 10 Million Model set will be up for sale soon, along with my Yaroze and debug units, memory cards, the lot. The only hardware I will be keeping is stuff that comes packaged with software. I will be sure to make everyone aware when these items go up for sale and this will probably happen in the next couple of weeks.
Hopefully this will allow me to recoup some of my money and put me back in the black, and it will allow me to concentrate on more important matters like the Online Database which I know you are all waiting for still.
So keep em peeled for when I throw up the auctions and of course keep posting in the forums, we got quite a community building back there.
Cheers

Sad that you have to relay on selling some of your hardware stuff, Def. Do you really think it will bring enough money to make a difference?
Well I hope it does because if it doesn’t the other half of the collection will be going up as well and I really dont want that to happen.
I hardly believe what I’ve just read. I feel bad for you mate, it’s no piece of cake to sell something s important. Wish you luck, hope you get enough money to prevent you from selling other bits of your collection.
Only my opinion, but i think youve made a huge mistake
