What We Buy

Original, Slim, Pro and Controllers

The original PS5, the Slim and the Pro differ in size, storage and how the disc drive works, and the offer follows. We also buy select controllers and accessories. Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck are on our electronics page.

Original PS5

The 2020 launch console, in the disc version or the Digital Edition, with 825GB of storage. It came with a stand. Working disc drives and clean controllers carry the offer.

  • Disc
  • Digital Edition

PS5 Slim

The smaller model from late 2023, with 1TB of storage, in a disc version or a Digital Edition. The Slim Digital can take Sony's add-on disc drive; bring the drive if you have one.

  • Disc
  • Digital Edition
  • 1TB

PS5 Pro

The late-2024 Pro is digital out of the box, with 2TB of storage and an optional add-on disc drive. Special editions, like the 30th Anniversary consoles, are worth a text with photos first.

  • 2TB
  • Add-on drive
  • Special editions

Controllers & Accessories

Extra DualSense controllers, the DualSense Edge, limited-edition controllers and the add-on disc drive. We buy select accessories, so text a photo first if they're all you're bringing.

  • DualSense
  • DualSense Edge
  • Disc drive

Pricing

What Moves a PS5 Offer

Two PS5s of the same model can be far apart in value. Here is what decides it.

Model
Pro first, then Slim, then the original. The model number on the label starts with CFI and tells us exactly which one you have.
Disc drive
A disc model or a Digital with the add-on drive is worth more than a Digital alone, as long as the drive reads discs.
Controller
Stick drift, sticky triggers and a weak battery lower the offer. A console without any controller sells for less.
Completeness
Power cable, HDMI cable, controller and charging cable. The box adds a little. For the Slim and Pro the vertical stand was sold separately, so bring it if you bought one.
Ports and noise
A damaged HDMI port, a loose USB port or a loud, grinding fan are problems we look for and price in.
Cosmetics
Scratched or cracked side panels and stickers or residue lower the number. Panels can be wiped; cracks can't.

How We Check It

How We Test a PS5

We plug it in and go through it at the counter with you there.

  • Powers on, reaches the home screen and isn't tied to anyone's account
  • Reads a disc, on disc models and the add-on drive
  • Controller drift, buttons, triggers, charging and connection
  • HDMI output, USB ports and Wi-Fi
  • Model number and storage

Get Ready

Before You Bring It In

Sign out and reset before you come in so the console isn't tied to your account. It takes a few minutes. Our console guide covers cleaning and cables.

  • Back up saves to PS Plus cloud storage or a USB drive
  • Turn off Console Sharing and Offline Play: Settings > Users and Accounts > Other
  • Reset: Settings > System > System Software > Reset Options > Reset Your Console
  • Bring the power cable, HDMI cable, controller and charging cable
  • Bring a valid government-issued ID; New York law requires it for every sale

FAQ

PS5 Questions

What sellers ask us most at the counter.

Do you buy a PS5 without a controller?
Yes. The offer is lower without one, since the next owner has to buy a controller. Bring the cables either way.
Do you buy a PS5 with a broken disc drive?
Yes, at a lower offer that accounts for the drive. Tell us what it does, or doesn't do, and we'll test it.
Do you buy PS5 controllers on their own?
We buy select controllers, like the DualSense Edge and limited editions, in working condition. Text a photo first.
Do I have to reset my PS5 before I come in?
We recommend signing out and resetting at home. If you can't, we can help at the counter.
Do you buy Xbox, Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck?
Yes. Those are covered on our electronics page.
Can I get a quote before coming in?
Yes. Text the model label, photos of the console and controllers, and anything that doesn't work to 917-608-8939 for a rough range. Final offers are made in person.
