Sell Your PS4 in the US

Used PS4s in the US typically sell for $110 to $215. The PS4 has settled into a stable budget console market, so condition and completeness matter more than the model revision.

Selling a PS4 in the US

Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.

Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

Working out what yours is worth

Identify whether you have the original, Slim or Pro
Test the controller sticks for drift

Getting it ready

Gather the power lead, HDMI, controller and its charging cable, and note whether it is the original, Slim or Pro model.
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.

Steady but declining as the generation ages, with a Christmas lift. Bundles with popular games sell considerably faster than bare consoles.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $215 a buyer pays is the $215 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 US

The United States is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United States with their own page for PS4s.

Common questions

Where can I sell a PS4 in the US?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

How loud is the fan?

Run a game and listen. A quiet PS4 is genuinely unusual and worth advertising; a loud one still sells if you say so and price it.

Why are some PS4s so loud?

Original launch models are known for fan noise, made worse by dust. A clean often helps and is worth doing before you photograph it.

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.
