icemanv6 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'm wanting to sell my PS3 it's a 40GB version, but the laser is broken that reads the discs so it can't read discs at the mome...It failed after only 4 months of use, but if you know someone who can fix it you could get it done cheaper then what Sony would charge, or if you can fix it yourself then it might be very worthwhile. I've only used it about 6 months in total since I bought it. I have: Grand Theft Auto 4 Call of Duty 4 Assasins Creed Metal Gear solid 4 Gran Turismo Prologue (downloaded from PSN) If anyone's interested in making a reasonable offer then msg me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 You don't have 1 year warranty ??? BTW how much you want ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueangel Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 sony will fix it free of charge in the first year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanv6 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I Bought it last April used it April-June before I moved but only used it a little, then I didn't use it again until until early this year February time properly and then again in march, it broke after the warranty around May time...I was rather quite annoyed. I've only used it since to play Gran Turismo Prologue, and again I have not used it much. Any photo's just ask and i'll take and upload them. I'm open to offer's bender, I think in the region of offer's of 100pounds+ is reasonable? Like I say i'm open to reasonable offers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathew Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 £100 for a ps3 with a broken laser?! how much would it be worth with a working laser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanv6 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 With all of the listed game's also..check on ebay how much, from what I can see they seem to be going for around 30-80 pounds at the current bids just for console (faulty), not seen them at the end of auction price they go for though.. Just thought I'd see if would get some offer's on here first.. Scott_M don't think I can take 100pounds with delivery included in the price.

bigbloodyturbo Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I thought you get a 2 year warranty when you buy goods within the EU. Even if the manufacturer only offers 1 year, the retailer has to give you 2 or something? I think there was a discussion about this not so long ago.

bigbloodyturbo Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Couldn't remeber the thread Scott but I found this on consumer direct. It describes the EU legislation that gives a statutory 2 year warranty with goods purchased in the EU, might help you or the OP out. http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/before_you_buy/thinking_about/extended-warranties/ http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/after_you_buy/know-your-rights/SGAknowyourrights/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Indeed it's the sale of goods act. Helped a member get his repaired for nowt http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=2456668&postcount=9 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=192870&highlight=sale+goods+act In fact you posted in that thread! So how come you haven't attempted to take it back under the EU enforced warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Wouldn't it be easy to fix it and sell it? Rather than chance on Sony doing it for free, the buying getting grief when they don't, and this coming back to bite you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanv6 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 I completely forgot about that thread. Thanks for re-posting it! I will give them a ring again later during this week and see what they say, has anyone had any problems with them still refusing to fix it under this legislation? I will however need to dig out my receipt again. Hopefully will be able to get it fixed then hassle free and be ready to sell still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
