PS3 DID A CECHA01 WORTH THE PURCHASE IN 2022 ?

Hi everyones

Im asking myself a question tonight

Did you think (any of members opinion is truly important) that 13-14 years after the initial release year a PS3 CECHA01 will worth the price if seller state that the unit is working flawlessly without any issue and still have the warranty sticker on it ?

I have two consoles : CECH-2001a ( I know i damaged this one at the start of my jailbreak experience since i was not knowing entirely what i was doing wrong (ex playing PS2 ISO for hours without webman mod/fan !)
and a CECH-2501a

my best friend is interested in buying one of my consoles.
I must admit that I bought two (one as back up just in case because lets be honest its harder and harder with years passing ...not knowing on what you will stumble (online order) I read such many nightmare from PS3 used consoles buyers , its incredible. people have no honor theses days and will sell you their shit packaged inside a PS3 carboard box if they can...

Im lurking the iday of accepting to sell it to him my CECH-2501a he know i have not abused this console wich was bought brand new and mostly unused ...since i always desired a CECHA1 after having seen one at a collegue place several years ago (+10) the SD card reader &...AND...the damn 4 USB port not mentionning the Emotion Engine....!

Did you think its resonable to make a move like this , selling my CECH-2501a to buy a CECHA1 that 'seem' to be in pretty pretty darn solid condition considering its age ?

Did i will have to ABSOLUTELLY replace the thermal paste versus maybe never on my CECH-2501 if i keep it in his box and only use it as a back up replacement when my 2001a will decide to have received enough heat...

webman mod
i have activated the dynamic for the fan
auto at 50 degree C
fan speed min 40% -%80. max
PS2 Emulator : 80% fan speed
right now after 4 hours of PS1 playing & watching news using youtube the fan speed run at 53%
CPU : 48 C
RSX : 49 C

But its true that (for the very first time of my life) i put a vertical air blower at average force in front of my running console. (that must help)

Did you think its possible to get theses number on the CECHA1 i have in mind
without changing the termal paste if TRULY the console is almost unused ?!
(quickly jailbreak it and install webmanmod!) ;)
OR you consider theses bahamut initial construction to INEVITABELY overheat quickly , or quicker than the slim models ?!

What you would personally do at my place ?
