I have a ps2 test unit and was wondering how much it was worth and the best place to sell it
I've picked 'em up on ebay for less then $80... it REALLY depends on what model it is. The DTL-H10000 is virtually worthless.
DTL-H3000X - There are 2 kinds of these, one works with the hard drive, one doesn't. The only way to tell the difference is by trying it out.
Prices have been dropping like a stone over the last year, I've seen a number of them sell at around $150. But like handofg0d said, it all depends on the model.
I'd like to buy one. if you have one for sale, PM me and we'll work out a deal..
Is anyone still interested in buying one of these test ps2's because i currently have a DTL-H30002 & im looking to sell it, so if anyone is still interested then could they please PM & we'll try & sort something out.
Thanks
Does anyone else have these for sale?

What model do you want, and what are you willing to pay?
For me the model doesn't really matter, as long as it says "Test" on it and works well. I have a few kiosk demos I want to play that can't be played on the regular PS2. I'm not really trying to spend more than $50 shipped at the most. However, if they are going for way more than that I might have to reconsider.

Kiosk discs are retail. They should work in a normal PS2. A TEST isn't anything like a modded PS2, it won't play burned discs unless they've been signed with the gold master boot code.
I have a feeling TEST ps2 are going to level out at $100-150 for the next few years, just like debug PS1 have stayed at $50.
Just bought the one from the first link. (the one without TEST on the top)
The seller told me :
It's Region Free
Plays all CD-r
Plays all DVD-r patched as master disc
Does not play Dvd-Video
You're right Ace, I worded that wrong. They aren't kiosk demos--they are trade show demos. Not the trade show demos that come in the white sleeves and say trade show demo on the front. These are from actually trade shows like E3. One is from E3 and one is from a Gamer's Day show(not sure if thats an actual "trade" show though). Both are on a DVD-R purple bottom disc. But the front of each disc is a picture, just like normal game disc. For some reason this site still doesn't let me upload pictures when I click on the insert image link. But if anyone wants pictures of these disc--send me your email address and I'll forward them to you.

(as far as a trade show.. dunno myself either.. all the information I could get on it is that it's a pre-party to E3(?)
Me and my friend played it on a PS2 with HDD loader. It worked. Maybe you should try those with that?
Just a Suggestion. But, if you want to go with the test. Those should work with it too.
Or so I hear.
That's normal. One point of clarification, when he says it plays CD-R, he means PS1 discs. PS2 CD-Rom games still need to be master patched.
fuqi:
The only differences between the standard TEST units and the ones with the "S" at the end of the model number are:
- Don't say "TEST" on the case
- You can't attach a debugger to a running application
Neither of which are a big deal to 99.999% of the population. If you're not writing code, you won't care about debugging processes.
