What is a reasonable price to pay for a used Sony PS1 memory card?

I spent $20 for a grey Sony one at a used game store in 2015.

Was that too much?

What do you consider a fair price?

Waaaaayyyy too much.

They are currently around £6 or less on EBay

$1-5 used. $5-10 new aftermarket.

25+ years of gaming taught me one important life lesson. You normally don't have to push start at the main menu.

Official Sony cards can be $5-8 US on ebay. On occasion, you will see a few Japanese sellers sell tons for those prices. You can't choose colours but that didn't concern me when I bought one of them off ebay last May.

Got a crystal clear card wiyh a Yu Yu Hakusho sticker on it.

I only spent $20 on a used Sony PS1 card at a Microplay because I wanted one NOW at the time. I got a copy of Xenogears and didn't want to risk save issues as I was told the game was finicky with third party memory cards.

Crazy how cheap you can get them now.

2-4 at lowest, 10-12 at highest(maybe).

Yeah. The more uncommon colours can be a few dollars more.

I'd sell it for $5 at most.

I'd still feel bad doing it at that price, but just feels wrong to give it away for free :|

I've never bought a Sony memory card and I never had a problem saving games on third party cards on my ps1 or ps2. This includes Xenogears.

Just go for third party memory cards.

I have one that has a button. If you press it it switches to player 2 saves. It splits them up

Careful with those. Some memory cards did stuff like that to fit more saves on the same size device. If you used all the slots some of the saves would eventually corrupt themselves. Assuming what you have is what I'm thinking of.

I would just call/check pawn shops if I needed one.

My city STILL sells used PS1 memory cards for dumb prices. Plus, $40 for a brand new in package Sony card? What a joke.
