Used PS5s in Melbourne typically sell for A$420 to A$730 (about $295 to $510). Console buyers care about completeness far more than cosmetics — a scuffed PS5 with both cables and a working controller sells faster than a pristine one missing the stand.
Selling a PS5 in Melbourne
Melbourne has the strongest vintage and op-shop culture in Australia and a large student population across several universities, so buying second hand here is entirely ordinary. It is also the country’s music city, which keeps instruments, amps and records moving in a way they do not everywhere.
The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.
Melbourne, in Victoria, has around 5.1 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Melbourne
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
What PS5s are worth
What lifts the price
- Recent revisions with the lighter, quieter chassis
- Any bundled games still in their cases
What pulls it down
- A noisy or dust-clogged fan, easily heard on a video call before sale
- Console-only sales with no controller
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the model number on the sticker underneath
- Compare against sold listings for the same edition and revision
Getting it ready
- Gather everything: power cable, HDMI, base stand and screw, controller and its USB cable. Missing parts cost more in price than they do to replace.
- Note whether it is the Disc or Digital Edition, and blow the dust out of the vents.

- The controller’s thumbsticks close up, since drift is the first thing buyers ask about
Put in the description
- Whether the controller has any stick drift
- Whether the console has been opened, repaired or re-pasted
Edition and what is included: “PS5 Disc Edition with Controller and All Cables”. Disc versus Digital is the primary filter and the price difference is substantial, so it must be in the title. If you are including games or a second controller, put that in too — bundles genuinely sell faster.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Common questions
Where can I sell a PS5 in Melbourne?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
Has it been opened or repaired?
Say so if it has. A repaired console is perfectly sellable when disclosed, and a warranty sticker a buyer spots later is not.
