Ripped off.

County court to get a refund, and police for fraud, the police report can be used as evidence in the county court. If she doesn't turn up to the court case, the judge will rule in your favour. Job done.

Ahh, if only life was so simple - time off+admin time/cost+Petrol will be more than the goods. The rule in your favour is true but the monies will never be paid or recovered. It is also not a fraud as the goods were delivered, buyer beware applies as to the condition. Had it gone though paypal and was advertised as same as original, no faults, fully working then would different, and would qualify for full or partial refund only with goods to be returned possibly at buyers cost unless seller agrees to reimburse.
 
Just checked and you are right lol.

Security bits all removed and seal missing lol.
Yeah. I fixed my PS3 with the heat gun, but then I kept it for myself. Eventually, I went to the shop, and they gave me a slim PS3.
110 quid with 3 games mate.
Are the games fairly recent? Coz if they total at least £50, it won't be too bad.
Very foolish, buying 2nd hand = guaranteed problem. You can buy a nice,new boxed latest 12GB PS3 for around £120 these days with warranty + OP take PS3 for repair, may cost £30 but will allow you to use it. When the hard drive dies in future, simply replace the HDD with a genuine one. Problem solved.

BS! I sold my PS3.

Ps3, all cables and original box. 2 controllers (Sixaxis not DS3), GTA V, €50 PSN credit, and some 10 pre-installed games (incl. Fifa 13 and CoD Black Ops 2) for ~€250.

It used to work flawlessly before I sold it. Not a hitch. I sold it because I stopped playing console and bought a good PC instead. He never called me back, so I assume it still works fine.
 
Sold many consoles in the past, never had a problem. I've always taken pictures of serial numbers etc, so they don't try to fob me off with a return.

Not at all. I bought my current slim PS3 from someone on here about 16 months ago after my old one went the way of the YLoD, it's been perfect. Ultimately it depends on the condition of it and whether the person has looked after it or not which, in the case of the OP's, seems like they haven't.

The court claim includes all associated costs (which you are grossly overestimating), and it is fraud as defined by the fraud act 2006, fraud by false representation. The conversation between the two parties clearly shows she was maintaining it was in full working order at the point of sale.
