Sell Your PS4 in the UK

Used PS4s in the UK typically sell for £80 to £160 (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.

What lifts the price

What pulls it down

• Controller stick drift
• Disc drives that struggle to read or eject

Selling a PS4 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.

Second-hand demand peaks in January, in the weeks before Christmas, and at the start of the academic year in September.

Working out what yours is worth

• Identify whether you have the original, Slim or Pro
• Run a disc-based game to confirm the drive reads cleanly

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.

Put in the description

• Model — original, Slim or Pro — and storage capacity
• Everything included: power lead, HDMI, controllers, games
• Fan noise, honestly described

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.

Postable if boxed well, though the value now makes postage a large fraction of the price. Local collection with a quick boot test suits most PS4 sales.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the £160 a buyer pays is the £160 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a PS4 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 it the Pro?

Check the model number on the rear. The Pro is worth noticeably more and the models are easily confused.

Is a used PS4 still worth anything?

Yes, as a budget console and for its large game library. Prices are modest but sales are steady, particularly for Slim and Pro models.

Should I sell my PS4 with games?

Bundling a few well-known titles usually raises the total and makes the listing stand out against console-only ones.
