Used PS4s in Melbourne typically sell for A$155 to A$305 (about $110 to $215). PS4s are cheap now, so yours sells on completeness and a quiet fan — buyers assume any used PS4 sounds like a jet engine until you tell them otherwise.
Selling a PS4 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.
Students arrive in February and leave in November, which inverts the northern-hemisphere rhythm. The inner suburbs also carry a lot of share-house accommodation, and share houses reshuffle constantly rather than seasonally.
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 has around 5.1 million people in Victoria, 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 PS4s are worth
What lifts the price
- Larger internal drives or an upgraded SSD
- All cables and the original box
What pulls it down
- Controller stick drift
- Disc drives that struggle to read or eject
Working out what yours is worth
- Identify whether you have the original, Slim or Pro
- Test the controller sticks for drift
Getting it ready
- Run a game for twenty minutes and listen. If the fan is loud, say so; if it is quiet, that is a genuine selling point worth stating.
- Factory reset the console and deactivate it as your primary PS4 so the buyer can use their own account.

Model and storage, then contents: “PS4 Slim 1TB with Controller and Games”. Original, Slim and Pro are three different prices, so the model is essential. Bundling games moves a PS4 far faster than selling it bare, and cartridge-free discs are cheap to include.
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 PS4 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.
Is it the Pro?
Check the model number on the rear. The Pro is worth noticeably more and the models are easily confused.
