Used PS5s in Mackay 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 Mackay
Mackay is a sugar town that became a mining service town, sitting between the cane fields and the coal basin inland. A large part of the working population is on rotation rather than resident full time, and that shapes both what people buy and how quickly they sell it again.
Everything is done by vehicle and utes are common, which makes collecting something large easier here than in most places. Rotation schedules mean a seller may only be in town on certain weeks, so agree the window early rather than assuming flexibility.
On tools bought for mine work, ask whether they were used on site or at home. Site tools earn their keep and are often better maintained, but they have also done far more hours than the same model from a garage.
Mackay, in Queensland, has around 85,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What PS5s are worth
What lifts the price
- Both controllers, cables and the original box
- Disc edition, which consistently sells for more than the digital version
What pulls it down
- Console-only sales with no controller
- Visible discolouration on the white panels
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.
- Factory reset the console and deactivate it as your primary PS5, so the buyer can sign in with their own account.

- The rear ports and the model sticker
- 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
Heavy and awkward but postable if well boxed — the original box is ideal if you kept it. Local collection lets the buyer see it boot and test the controller, which removes most disputes on a console sale.
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.

Is the stand included?
Check you have the base and the small screw. It is a tiny part that buyers specifically ask about because replacements are awkward to source.
