Used PS5s in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$415 to C$715 (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 Vancouver
Vancouver is the most expensive city in the country and the mildest, which is an unusual combination. Apartments are small and outdoor recreation is available year-round, so compact furniture and outdoor gear are the two things that reliably move.
Traffic and the bridges determine how long any collection takes, far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser neighbourhoods is difficult, and most apartment buildings require the lift to be booked.
Ask where the item was kept. The climate is persistently damp, and fabric, foam and particle board all suffer badly in an unventilated garage or storage locker.
Vancouver, in British Columbia, has around 675,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Surrey, Burnaby and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Vancouver
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.

What PS5s are worth
What lifts the price
- Disc edition, which consistently sells for more than the digital version
- Any bundled games still in their cases
What pulls it down
- A noisy or dust-clogged fan, easily heard on a video call before sale
- Console-only sales with no controller
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.

Put in the description
- Disc Edition or Digital Edition, and the model revision if you know it
- Exactly what is included: stand, screw, power cable, HDMI, controllers, games
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.
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.
