Ps2 will probably be the first one since it has the most gems from all of them but i need one which can also play ps1 games.A ps3 which can play ps2 games would also be kinda neat but i skipped this era never had either a ps3 or 360 i only played on a 360 via a friend and i liked the console.I had an og xbox on the other hand

As stated finding a bwc PS3 is not easy perse, let alone one that works. Easily a hard pass.

Found a dude which sells it

Doesn't mean it works like it should.

I love the Wii (with Gamecube backwards compatibility), I would never give away mine, but in my opinion NOW older consoles are not worth that much because of all the inconveniences you have trying to use them on modern televisions.
If you already know that you have the right input on your tv then buy whatever you want, but if you would need adaptors then just avoid buying older consoles because those adaptors suck.
Some older consoles have modern clones that work rather well, I have a Mega Retron HD and it is very good but honestly I prefer the Mega Drive mini.
I love the Gamecube but since backwards compatibility on the Wii is so good the GC is one of those I would not recommend, it just don't make sense buying one when you can have it too simply buying a Wii. Just make sure that the model you buy is backwards compatible and buy a GC pad and memory card. You will have two fantastic consoles in one.
The Wii U is much worse in my opinion, I would avoid that.
The PS2 had many great games, but you can find many of those games on the PS3 too and the PS3 is nicerr, you can watch pictures, videos, listen to music and so on too. I like those things.
On the other hand SOul Calibur 3 is absolutely fantastic and it is only available on PS2.
But on PS3 you have Oblivion and Child of Eden too...
So the ones that I would recommend the most are Wii (backwards compatible), PS2 and / or PS3.
Stay away from the Gamecube (unless you are a collector) simply because you can have it too buying a Wii, so it makes little sense buying "only" a Gamecube, even though it is a very good console, and I would not recommend an original Mega Drive (as I said, unless you are a collector) because a modern clone or a Mega Drive mini are a better option today in my opinion.

It’s the cechc04 model

If you can find a working fully backwards compatible PS4 model it is a good buy because when you add up the price of a PS1, PS2 and PS3 it's about the same. You can easily get one off eBay. Here in Australia there's consumer rights and money back guarantee on eBay so if it is faulty you get all your money back.

I did not even know such a thing existed. Seems interesting.
But I would avoid backwards compatible PS3. In theory it would be wonderful, but as far as I know it is the most unrealiable model that gets broken very easily. I never tried one, but I have always read that everywhere...

Lol auto correct. I'm on my phone.

*Backward compatible PS3.

Well if you buy it privately you have to put in some trust i never did it before but i give it a shot since this console is very rare to get.After that i visit some retro stores….probably even most of them don’t have that model
