Where's the best place to sell old game consoles?

Hi everyone
Not sure if I'm posting in the right section for this, but in an attempt to help me debt, I've dug out some old games consoles which my son had.
Old being ... PS2, XBOX, Gamecube and 2 tellys (not the flat screen sort).
I usually give any good things we don't use to charity, but I think I may need to see if I could get even a few pounds for these.
I've tried ebay, but there's no market for these items. There is a Cash Concepts in a town close to where I live and I was thinking of selling it there?? Any ideas?
Thanks

The telly's are best off at a car boot sale, as are the consoles probably, but if you sell a PS2 with a couple of games they should make £15-£20 on eBay0

The old style TVs are worthless, I can't even give my one away on freegle. Personally I would just keep trying ebay for the rest especially on free listing days like today.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

The TVs will be useless by next year - when the analogue signals are switched off, most old TVs will be only useful as monitors for DVD players or if the buyer has a set-top box. I have an old CRT still but I only use it to play videos/DVDs on.
The only hope you might have is to find a collector of old electric/electronic items; that might involve a bit of research off the high street or the mainstream websites."Well, it's election year, Bill, we'd rather people didn't exercise common sense..." - Jed Bartlet, The West Wing, season 4

The slim PS2 generally sells for slightly more0

I've been doing some looking round as I'm after a slim version and the ones that I've seen go for considerably more than the fat ones, especially if they have games or the box.:j30/7/10:j

To be honest tho, it doesn't make a lot of difference in performance, slim slightly quicker, not by much, and the fatties don't take up that much more room0

Have you tried Amazon or play.com?0
