What a used Xbox Series X is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for Xbox Series Xs, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £350 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £297 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £227 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £157 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £87 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a Xbox Series X
- Controller, HDMI and power cable all present
- Original box, which matters more on consoles than most electronics
- Any storage expansion card included
- A quiet fan and clean vents
What lowers it
- Console-only listings with no controller
- Dust build-up and fan noise, both obvious on a video call
- Missing the proprietary storage card if the listing implies it
- Scuffed casing from being moved between setups
How to work out what yours is worth
- Confirm whether you have the Series X or the smaller Series S
- Gather the controller, cables, box and any expansion card
- Compare sold listings for the same model and bundle
Once you have those three answers you can place your own Xbox Series X on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
What is a used Xbox Series X worth?
Prices sit in a fairly tight band. A complete console with controller, cables and box sells near the top of it; console-only sells noticeably below.
Is the Series S worth much less than the Series X?
Yes, substantially — they are different machines, so make sure your listing names the right one.
Do I need the original box to sell an Xbox?
Not strictly, but it helps more than on most electronics because it makes posting safe and signals the console has been looked after.
