I went into completed items to see what I should price my newly aquired adapter at. A lot of 10 used network adapters went for $500 twice this month and some are going for $1,000 a lot? Time to sell our adapters guys. It's a good thing I just bought one today:cheers:

EDIT: both prices are for lots of 10 and 20 respectively, not single adapters. But still......

Damn, I had a network adapter just chilling and threw it away since I had no idea it'd be worth anything. I still have one for my personal PS2 collection though, but I won't sell it.

I wonder why these are going for so much, doesn't make any sense when you could buy a new ps2 with a built in adapter for $120 or so right? Are people buying these so they can use the HDD?

Huh, I barely even used this thing to play games, didn't know it could be used as an HDD. :hmm:

Makes sense why it would drive up cost, though.

People buy it so they plug in the HDD and install games on it.

Yea but a single sells for a ton. Watch ebay and my name I am goign to buy the last 10-15 I saw at Gamestop two days ago and pay for Christmas that way. It is the only time in my life I will be able to get something at gamestop for less than the internet and still get a few bucks off of Ebay. I mean really why are they going for so much when they can be had at any gamestop for $15 plus tax? And BTW we know they are for more than one it was in the first post silly :above me:

As you can see 1 Adapter sells for about $40.00 most of the time. Their are some that sell for $20.00-$30.00 rang but thats people with low feedback and get sniped. If you have good feedback you can sell one for $40.00 BIN.

hope that helped .

I've made a shit ton of money off these in the past 3 months and I just sold a lot of 10 at BIN for 500. They sold in a few hours. There is a very high demand for these for some reason.

I have one so I just need to find 9 more cheap ones to sell as a lot.

Combine the adapter with a harddisk and that new memorycard exploit and you can play all the games you want (either from HDD or from burned DVDs) without modding your PS2.
