Default How in-demand is the old 60gb?

I am seriously thinking about replacing the old 60gb with a new slim because I just purchased new furniture.
Can I get a good deal selling it in local?

Purchased by in 2007, no problems so far, only played no more than 5 games or so on it

For those who sold your old 60gb, did you get a good price for it?
Just wondering.

NOT SELLING HERE, just want to know about your experience.

Go ahead and buy the slim but put the 60gb away - don't sell it - someday it will be a collector piece like the ps1 scph-1001.

If it still works, keep it as long as you can. You'll regret it later if you replace it. The 60GB is rare and has a very high value because they're not in production anymore. The slim version works flawlessly. Its light weight, it bitstreams, and saves energy.

By the way, I'll buy your 60GB for a reasonable price.

Keep the 60. Perhaps you can use it for a bedroom set up?? Then get the new Slim 250 !

Used ones at gamestop still fetch 350.00 in my area since it's backwards compatible.
Just saw the price yesterday when I stopped in to pay more on my GoW III UE.

I say keep it unless you have no use for it at all. I have a 80gb also and I wish I had two 60gb instead. The memory card reader, extra usb ports & BC are all huge bonuses to me I especially like the card reader and extra usb's.

Pawn shop near me is advertising one on their sign for $369.00. I'm almost tempted. Not really. The SA-CD ability alone makes me want to hang on to it.

Also have my launch 20gb - still all original - If I need more space I'll just attach an external drive... Still remember the day, got off work 7 am Thursday morning to stand 9th in line at Future Shop, stayed the 26 hours until Future Shop opened the next day to find out that they only had 8 60gb models in stock - Oh well got a 20 gb instead - funny how I was the only 50 year old in line though
