Used PS5s in Canada typically sell for C$415 to C$715 (about $295 to $510). The console market moves in a narrow band, so most of the spread is about which revision you have and how complete the package is.
What PS5s are worth in Canada
| Condition | Typical | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | C$717 | Unused, tags or seals intact |

What lifts the price
- Disc edition, which consistently sells for more than the digital version
- Recent revisions with the lighter, quieter chassis
What pulls it down
- Missing HDMI or power cables, which buyers must replace immediately
- A noisy or dust-clogged fan, easily heard on a video call before sale
Selling a PS5 in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the model number on the sticker underneath
- Count what you actually still have: controllers, cables, box, games
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.
- Note whether it is the Disc or Digital Edition, and blow the dust out of the vents.

Put in the description
- Exactly what is included: stand, screw, power cable, HDMI, controllers, games
- Whether the controller has any stick drift
- Whether the console has been opened, repaired or re-pasted
Edition and what is included: “PS5 Disc Edition with Controller and All Cables”. Disc versus Digital is the primary filter and the price difference is substantial, so it must be in the title. If you are including games or a second controller, put that in too — bundles genuinely sell faster.
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.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$717 a buyer pays is the C$717 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 PS5 in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Has it been opened or repaired?
Say so if it has. A repaired console is perfectly sellable when disclosed, and a warranty sticker a buyer spots later is not.
Is a used PS5 worth buying or selling?
Both markets are active. Prices stay in a fairly tight band because supply is steady, so a complete, working console sells quickly at a fair price.
Should I include games when selling a PS5?
Bundling a few popular titles usually adds more than selling them separately, and it makes the listing stand out.
