Step 3 - Sell the PS3

Now that you've repaired the PS3 it is time to sell it. The easiest way to do this is on eBay, unless you know someone who wants one. If you worked on a 60GB/80GB with backwards compatibility you should be able to get $300-$350 for it, depending on what accessories you include. Those with multiple controllers or games are more likely to go for a higher price.

At this point you can choose to invest the money you just made right back into some broken units, generating even more money. Repeat this process a couple of times and you will have your very own PS3 for free.
