White PS3 sells for Triple its Value

[wraggster]

Those with PS3 consoles who are struggling to sell them may have to paint theres to get a great markup on the sale price, the group who painted theres white the other day sold their PS3 on ebay for $1425

A nice tidy profit :)

very nice, that white one was quite handsome.

God, a PS3 painted white sells for £730... it's complete insanity!

Here's the auction for everyone to see:

I must say I was a little skeptical at first that this paint job would be decent, but I must say, this person did a damn good job. Is it worth triple the cost of a PS3? No, but its still damn nice.

This is more than just a "paint" job. Most custom jobs command a premium, that's the way it goes for all the effort (14 hours for this one) that goes into these projects.

Go here for the details of the labour:
