Used Xbox One consoles in the UK typically sell for £70 to £150 (about $94 to $200). Xbox One consoles sell on the model and the storage, and the fastest way to lose a sale is handing over a console still signed into your account.

Selling a Xbox One 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.
The UK has the deepest second-hand habit of any of our markets — charity shops, car boot sales and online resale have been mainstream here for decades, so buyers arrive already comfortable with used goods and already know roughly what things are worth.
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.
Working out what yours is worth
- Identify which model you have from the rear label
- Test the disc drive with a game
Getting it ready
- Factory reset the console and remove it from your Microsoft account, then confirm it boots to setup.
- Gather the controller, power cable and HDMI lead, and check the controller sticks for drift.

Put in the description
- Exact model — original, S, S All-Digital or X — and storage capacity
- How many controllers, and their stick condition
- Whether it has a disc drive, and whether the drive has been tested
Model and storage: “Xbox One S 1TB with Controller and 4 Games”. The variant matters enormously — original, S, S All-Digital and X are different consoles at different prices — so name it exactly. Say how many controllers and whether games are bundled.
Post double boxed with the console immobilised, or hand over locally. Include every cable — a console arriving without its power lead is effectively unusable until the buyer sources one.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the £150 a buyer pays is the £150 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 Xbox One 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 there controller drift?
Test both sticks in a menu and answer honestly. Drift is common, cheap to fix and forgiven when disclosed — and resented when it is not.
What is a used Xbox One worth?
Modest sums. The One X sells clearly above the S and the original launch model, which is now worth very little.
Is the disc drive a common fault?
It is the most frequently reported failure on these consoles, so test it with a disc and say clearly in your listing that it reads.
