    Depending on the model(regular vs slim) Ps3's average about 5.00 in scrap. I have a buyer who pays 10.00 per for Ps3/xbox 360, so you might be better off finding someone near you to buy it whole. I would not pay more than 4 or 5 dollars total for both.

    Tablets have some nice boards in them , I have got a few in not so good condition .

    The PS3 , does it work ? Is it a complete system with connection wires and controllers ? Some may want it to replace their old console or just have a cheap system hooked up to watch movies or for kids to play games. I bet a college student or single person would buy it . The problem with the playstation is every time a new console is made ps 1/2/3/4 . The older console is left obsolete because the newer system will play the older systems games . But there is a market for everything . We have buyers here for these things . Do some research , see what people are selling them for on Craig's , check ebay completed sales prices .

    Your options will depend on its functionality , Market demand and price .
    Buying ewaste and video games !

    im a video game collector I know the value and everything he said it stopped working when there was a power surge so I figured this was the perfect time to get one for cheap to take apart
