I have a huge vita collection I need to sell off. Hard times man. I have no ebay selling experience so I have been putting it off.

I love your title. They are ridiculously pricey these days.

If you jailbreak your vita, language patch are available for some game

Nice..I've always wanted a PSP but never had the money when I was a kid. Now I have 4 of them. The best condition one that I have was found at the fleamarket for 5$, 3000 model in perfect condition.

i'll put you all on...y'all need to find a way to get a xian yu account. refurbished psp1000 are only ~50 cad

got myself a ps vita 2 years ago for around 80$ on Ebay from a japanese seller

Still have almost 300 physical psvita games

Right now I'm just trying to get the ff7 edition psp, trying to be patient and get it at a good price

i admire your work ethic and your dedication to your channel! ️

I got mine for a very reasonable price fortunately

I got a phat PSP with 2 memory cards (32 MB and 2GB), 3 Games (Ratchet & Clank, Little Big Planet and SSX On Tour) a Mini USB cable and the original charger and battery for 90 bucks locally

Kind or ridiculous to use gloves for a console that is so scratched already.

I currently have 2 Vitas, launch 1000 OLED, and Japanese Aqua Blue 2000. I play the 2000 more because I love the color and slimness. I’ve also amassed over 100 physical games for it. Pretty much have every game I’ve wanted for the system now.

There could also be local services that you could try using, though idk about the pricing compared to other known services like Zenmarket I live in Russia and since none of the services support delivery to my area i can resort to something like Avito, a used marketplace like ebay but for like, Russian stuff and you could search services specifically for that stuff, it cost about 2.5k RUB or 28 dollars for KG, but those services are known to take a small commission for stuff I've been thinking of importing some stuff from Japan like some games for my PS2, some other cool stuff for my laptop and my PSP and maybe a PSX at some point, so i'm just saying stuff that i've read up on the surface, it all depends on the rating of the services and how well they pack things up or how much they want you to pay for them to send stuff over

this is why i love the france console market bought my vita for 65 euros (70,75 usd ) and you can find a fat ps2 compatible ps3 for 50 euros (54,42 usd) or a wii for 15 euros (16,33 usd) if anybody reads this you should look into forwarding from the eu

Thank you for this. It's a really useful information since I wanted to get a handheld for myself.

If you plan on just modding it and just downloading every game just get a Android emulation device, and you'll probably get GameCube and PS2 as a bonus plus easy storage

Correct me if I'm wrong, the song you used is used on granturismo. I remember the song playing while having my car washed. Somebody on the comments pls confirm this haha😂

I brought my PS Vita last year for £100 and I love it

i win psp 1000

Got a GameCube controller from Sendico, it cost 20€, SHIPPING WAS 80€. Never again, beware of hidden fees.

Chill

I've had mine since the christmas after it came out I think? I've always loved it, I had two that came with me to college that I used to use often with different mods and games on them. Now that the scene has died down I really don't use them anymore but I still love them. I've noticed a huge surge in people making videos on this thing the last 6 months or so, and I really wish more had been around since the beginning to really talk about it. One of the weirder consoles that never got the love it deserved, and while there are so many better emulation devices these days I'll never get rid of them

I have 3, one modded, one I'll keep unmodified and the other I was changing the shell but burned something with screen. I don't know how to solder to fix so I'll give away for free to anyone who knows how to fix.

I don't really see the financial benefit tbh. A Red Vita 2000 is 190 € when bought on local ebay. In Japan 120 €. + 3 € Proxy handling + 3 € Shipping to Proxy + 20 € Shipping to my country + 6 € Customs handling + ~18% import (=~22 €) == 174 € I wouldn't be surprised if they also add conversion fees, since we probably need to pay in Yen. (+ 5 € ?) I am all in for saving some money, even if it is just 10 €, but this seem not worth the effort. Especially since with such a tight calculation it can easily happen that the Japanese Vita ends up costing more..

can u tell me the game name at 6:01 pls

i wish i knew this years ago before i paid 150$ for a PSTV 😭

Even those prices are way too high compared to what you can get in stores here. 20 years ago I used to by stuff to resale abroad but at close to cost just as a way to transfer money between international bank accounts for fun. These days many people just put up stuff online even without having items, knowing there are multiple stores a short drive away and all of them would have the item far less than the listed price. Someone wins the auction and only then they invest the money to get the item to send abroad. I advise anyone to honestly take time to come to Japan for a few days, get a rental car, and go to the warehouse-style used shops in the suburbs and rural areas. The amount you save if you stock up on everything you could want would easily pay for the flight and hotel and rental. And hopefully the people who take my advice are good enough not to strip away the stock to resell and giving others the chance to buy fairly...

Thank you everyone for the support and comments. Seeing as the main topic this video revolves around is the pricing, I want to further clarify some information unclear in the video. • Pricing: The pricing I compared to are products from Amazon Japan & eBay Japan. In markets where there are vastly more Vita's it may not be worth it to use this method for a cheap Vita (as the more common something is, the less valuable it tends to be price wise) unless you want to import a specific color in what would be referred to as "Rank A" (very little scratches overall 8/10 condition) by Japanese sellers on eBay. If you really want a good deal, you need to be patient and take a day or two or a week of browsing. Most of these are private sellers so you can't just browse one person's profile selling multiple quantities of a single item. I've managed to grab an Aqua blue PS Vita for just $55 dollars, but bare in mind other people are also looking for these items for either their personal collection or to be re-sold. So you need to be fast when you find something you like. On the contrary, in regions where the PS Vita and PSP are rare in local market places, this video is aimed to help reduce the cost. I understand potentially a $20 - $30 difference in price may not be worth the effort to import a Vita within a market that has a strong currency, but depending where you are based for some people $20 is a huge difference. • Shipping costs This really depends on which country you are based in. I can't give a general pricing. Yet still, shipping costs fall back onto "pricing." If PS Vita's are uncommon in your country, importing one + proxy + shipping fee would still be cheaper than buying one off eBay/Amazon and definitely cheaper than your local market. A safe estimate for a boxed PS Vita's weight (1000 & 2000 model) would be 500 - 600 grams (1.1 - 1.3 pounds) if you were to inquire about a quote for shipping. • Niche products Items such as the PSP GPS antenna can be found for as cheap as $5, but other items such as a PSTV may be in a similar price range as eBay. If you take your time you can find a white PSTV Value pack (dualshock 3 controller + 8gb memory card) around the $125 to $150 mark. It's similar to prices found on eBay in the U.S market for just a PSTV (after proxy + shipping) except these are boxed and generally in a much better condition. As one comment very well stated, "Your milage may vary". Unfortunately this isn't 100% the solution for everyone as either the pricing isn't what they expected or shipping related issues. But feel free to reach out to me and im more than happy to assist if you are unsure about anything.

Do not pay 200 bucks to these scalpers.

4:40 are these prices include shipping to your doorstep?

If you live in the border between Mexico and the united States I highly recommend you guys to go farther deep into Mexico (Mexico city for instance) there you'll find quite a lotta people willing to sell retro handhelds and consoles at a affordable price y'all can pay easily. Don't buy at gameshops if possible cause they most of the time overprice everything, tryna always buy using Facebook marketplace. I bought a working copy of pokemon FireRed and silver with a GBA for just 50 bucks.

Just here to add that currently mid way through 2024 I’ve seen the market value of used 2000 models priced between $200 USD to $350, and sell for around those prices. The first 1000 models (OLED) used were selling $50-$100 more. New sealed 2000 models were/are ridiculously priced sometimes at $1200 USD, but typically sold at a market value between $650-$750, and the 1000 models priced at $1500 selling at $750-$950. So I’m not sure where CZcamsrs are getting these lower price figures from. I’ve even gone as far as look up current market evaluations for 2024, and have seen graphs of upward trends for the PS Vita prices, and sales averaging $750 USD for new; $300 for used (models were unspecified.)

vitas arent really that expensive oddly enough compared to the 3ds

👍

i bought a really good condtion complete in box ps vita 1001 with a oem sony 64gb sd card, 2 really good games and a carrying case for $200

I over paid for both the Vita and the PSP. But they were both boxed special editions and were well worth the extra cost. Will use Mecari next time.

Ive got 3 of them. 1 for my official account another was bought already modded and the last one was for me to tinker with but then i got a steamdeck and lost interest in all 3 of them 😅

Thank you for the video, man. I never knew this was an option... I've been looking to buy myself a ps vita for some time but I could never find any good deals before, they're all overpriced... So I'll see if this option works for me.

During my trip to Tokyo last April cherry blossoms season went to a walk in Akihabara and purchased a preowned Ps Vita 1000.

Maybe good for some countries, but for me ebay is a way cheaper then mercari+proxy

What is the game he is showing at 0:30

I remember getting one of these around launch 12 years ago before the PS4 was even announced. I never really got to play the must have games unfortunately I really only played shovelware launch titles. It was a good system if you were into JRPGS and Visual Novels at that time though.

I bought a modded PSP from Aliexpress for 60 bucks a few months ago. Works great and I'm happy with it.

i love you dude

thank god i keep my ps vita i did not get rid of it i emulate my psp games on it i pre order my vita 1000 phat model in 2013 i glad i got ir day 1 it has not crashed or caused problems

another thing that i wanna say is that this mercari marketplace looks awesome to buy things cheaper, im looking to buy a steam deck however i don't have much money but searching on here seems like ill be able to cut costs and not have to worry about them going out of stock constantly

awesome editing on this video, love the new serena theme as i love yakuza myself, im on yakuza 6 right now

Awesome video, I love the New Serena theme in the background

Mercari is sadly not avaible in my country. (Czech Republic) Do you guys have any other websites you would recommend?
