    Default Selling my PS3 (YLOD)

    So i've had my PS3 for a while and it suffered from the YLOD. I tried to fix it (bad idea). So i'm considering to sell it for some cash for a new one. I've seen online that some people have sold theirs on ebay and it looks profitable. Wondering if its a good idea to do it or not?

    Thanks Polaris for the Awesome Avy and Sig!

    I'm confused; why would anyone buy a broken PS3?
    I like Kung-Fu.

    People tend to buy them for the parts or they try to refurbish them and resale. I've seen multiple PS3s with YLOD or just broken being sold on ebay for $80.00 and above.

    If someone wants it for the parts I don't see why it wouldn't be a good idea. It's not like you'll be able to play it at all.

    I had the same thing and these guys did an awesome job for a very reasonable price. If you absolutely don't want the thing, though, and you said you saw good sales on eBay, then go for it.
