Simple math determines that a PS1 and a PS2 combined make for a PS3. This prompted an entrepreneurial citizen of Canada to tape the two together and put his "custom built PS3" on Ebay.

With 4 days of bidding left, the highest offer currently stands at 160 Canadian dollars (about $140 US). Buyers will receive a working PS 1 and PS 2 machine, as well as the games Grand Turismo 1 and 4.

But buyer beware. As we learn in the question section, the seller can't make any guarantees about the quality of the tape that is used to marry the two units. The backward compatibility that issues that are plaguing the 'other' PS3 units however don't affect this custom built model.
