Where to sell a Playstation Net Yaroze?

I'm thinking that it's probably time for my full Net Yaroze Playstation 1 set to go spread its wings and fly (so I that can cash in and put the money towards my new grand piano...)

I think everything is still there, certainly the unobtainium bits like the serial cable and the Yaroze memory stick.

Do these still go for around the £1K mark? Is anyone here interested, or could someone perhaps suggest a good vintage consoles group where I might list it?

I only ever got around to making my company logo bounce around the screen, but it's a cool piece of kit. I did play Final Fantasy VII through to the finish on it :)

I sold mine on eBay about 10 years ago, I think. Seems to have gone up in price a fair bit as mine sold for under £500.

Yours looks in better condition as I used mine a lot and made notes and corrections in the manuals.

I thought about selling mine back then, but they seemed more common and that was about the going rate. As with everything of that vintage, lockdown seems to have bumped up the collector prices. I can't remember how much it cost back in the day, somewhere around the £600-£800 mark, I reckon.

Around the time I sold mine, someone was selling some NOS ones. I think they must have managed to get the remaining stock from Sony. So, not the best time to sell mine.

Think it cost £550 at launch, but I more than got my money back by winning £6k in a compo with a game I wrote. Haha

Ordinarily I would have said that I bet you have something I'd trade it for Ol, but right now I just want cash that I can put towards the piano! I have to raise £5K to buy it, then will need about £500 more on solenoids and electronics to make it self-playing. I'm well over half way now but I would prefer to get the whole way through selling stuff than have to run up an overdraft in my current account!

Unfortunately trade is all I can do at the moment. I remember when these came out, amazing fun memories!

I've a boxed, green DTL development console.

The Yaroze ssells for around £850-1200, you can efficiently do the same development with a regular playstation and serial to USB lead a patched copy of the yaroze CD twhich does then not require the 'security' memory card inserted.
The black sparkle finish and packaging is very in rightly in demand as a collectors item.

You had to apply for them, I wish I had kept my Yaroze acceptance of sale letter from Sony, sadly I could not afford to go ahead buy one at the time.

Need to find specific issue of EDGE

I'm trying to identify an issue of EDGE magazine that has a certain article in it - i.e. the results of the 1st anniversary Net Yaroze competition. It will be an issue from late '97 to early '98. Is there an online version of EDGE I can look through (no luck googling for one)? If not, could...

i cant think of anywhere other than here where people are a lot more trustworthy than other places to sell, certainly for the price of that

Yes, here or even better still, ukpinball - there've been the odd bad eggs on here over the years, but I don't remember any in the pinball scene.

... unless you count the various new company failures, Heighway Games probably being the most damaging, but even then I never had anything other than great dealings with Andy over the years.
