So not sure if this was smart or not but a couple of weeks ago, I picked up a PlayStation 1 console with the controller and cords at my good will. I don't have one so I thought it would be great because I hate playing all my ps1 games on my ps2. I want to save the lens as much as possible. So i get home, tested it out, and it worked perfect! I like to clean my consoles when I first them before setting them up. So I unscrewed it to take it apart and clean the inside. OMG! You will not believe what I seen in there. It was horrific!!! >:( About 10 dead roaches and roach stuff that it grossed me out. I attempted to clean because I wanted the system, but after 2 minutes, I said screw it and I double bagged it and threw it away. Has anyone has this experience, and would you recommend the best to throw it away or take the time to clean it? I do not know if I have the patience for something like that. I thought if I got them up as much as possible it would be fine but I could not risk a breeding nest. Let me know your thoughts and experiences... |

That is pretty disgusting. I'm not sure what I would do, if you want to, you can clean it, but I can't imagine cockroaches being inside my console, that is a gross thought. |

As someone who used to work at FuncoLand way back in the day...I've seen in all. We used to have to turn down trade-ins simply because they were so filthy. Like...so bad I couldn't even imagine what the home looked like. |

Playstation's aren't rare (or expensive) by any stretch of the imagination, there's no way I'd try to clean something that filthy either. I remember one customer being surprised that I refused to accept his games for trade in when he pulled them out of his underwear right in front of me - and another who said "Oh don't worry about that mark, it's just some rat excrement (turned out from his pet rat) :o |
