Sell Your Gaming Headset in the UK

Used gaming headsets in the UK typically sell for £15 to £80 (about $20 to $110). Headsets sell on compatibility and on two failure points buyers know to check: the ear cushions and the microphone.

Selling a gaming headset in the UK

Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.

Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.

Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work.

Working out what yours is worth

Test both channels and record a microphone sample
Check the pads for flaking

Getting it ready

Test the microphone by recording yourself, and test both ear cups for balance and crackle.
Check the headband adjustment and the cable or wireless dongle, and note exactly which platforms it works with.

Brand, model and connection: “SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless Gaming Headset, PC and PS5”. Wireless or wired is a hard filter, and platform compatibility is the second. Say if the wireless dongle is included, because without it a wireless headset is often useless.

Light and easy to post in a padded box. Include every adapter and the dongle, and coil cables loosely rather than tightly to avoid stressing the connectors.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the £80 a buyer pays is the £80 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in the UK

The United Kingdom is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United Kingdom with their own page for gaming headsets.

Common questions

Where can I sell a gaming headset in the UK?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.

Is the wireless dongle included?

Confirm it. Most wireless gaming headsets will not work at all without their proprietary dongle, and replacements are often unavailable.

What should I check on a used gaming headset?

The ear pads and the microphone. Both wear out and are the two things buyers ask about before anything else.

Can ear pads be replaced?

On most recognised brands, yes, and cheaply. Say whether replacements are available for your model.
