I’m auctioning off out/away (? Non native speaker 😅) my old-ish gaming consoles and this person is asking about a unit’s serial number. Why? I mean, I put up more than ten images of the console from various angles and such… What’s the significance?

    Sometimes consoles undergo version changes throughout their production runs, and it could be anything from older consoles using better hardware (or opposite, newer being better), or sometimes certain revisions of consoles may be able to be modded to run custom firmware or software, etc.

    It’s probably not fishy, just people hunting for a specific revision of the console itself.
