Vent: blew $60 on a bin of 'untested' PS2 games at a flea market in Tulsa
Seller said they all came from a storage unit and would boot fine, but 7 of the 11 discs were so scratched they wouldn't get past the PlayStation 2 logo. Should've brought my fat PS2 and a small TV like the old days, since testing on the spot is the only thing that saves you. Has anyone found a decent disc buffer that doesn't cost more than the games?

Check the discs under a bright light at an angle before you even hand over cash, because scratches that run in a circle with the spin are usually the killer while ones going across the disc can sometimes still boot. Storage unit sellers almost never test anything, they just see a stack of games and slap a price on it. A cheap trick is to hold the disc up to your phone flashlight, and if light comes through the label side, it's done no matter how much you buff it.

Test em anyway @oliver_ward14, resurfacing fixes most of mine.
