Umm will it work in the states? Are you sure they know what they're bidding on?

From looking at various couriers I think you'll be looking at at least £40-£50 to ship a Playstation.

I sold my PS2 and sent it within the UK special delivery and it still cost me £20.

I'm thinking the exact same thing.

I am from the States and unless it works on 110 volts and they have a plug adaptor, it won't work. You can check on the AC adaptor (the black box on the electrical cord). It usually says on there what "input" and "output" voltage it operates on. If it doesn't note it there, it should also be in the manual. If your Playstation has "input" of 110-240 or something similar, it will work in the State. However, this American will have to get a plug adaptor to change the UK 3-prong plug to the US 2 or 3-prong plug.....

I'm wondering why an American bought this! AHH! Amazing, (unless it was loads cheaper than they could get it for in the States)--but I highly doubt this since pretty much everything--as far as consumer goods--are cheaper (especially electronics), not to mention the shipping costs!!

Hope things work out for the best,

I would let it run it course; they might not be a scammer.

What kind of feedback rating does the highest bidder have?

Just make sure that they are fully aware that the shipping will be £40-£50.

highest bidder has a rating of 28.all im worried about is if the bidder does a chargeback on paypal or something. Im just panicking cause ive never sold anthing this expensive before, but looking through some threads it looks as though it can often fall to the buyers favour when using paypal?
thanks all x
