How Much Can You Earn Selling A Playstation 4?
There are several factors that determine the selling price of a used Playstation 4 gaming console. Let’s take a more detailed look at the factors that have the most significant impact on the dollar amount you can expect to receive when selling your PS4.
Factors That Affect The Selling Price Of Playstation 4
Model Or Edition
The specific model or edition of Playstation will have the largest effect on the dollar value of a used gaming console. For instance, a special-edition Playstation 4 Pro with a full terabyte of storage will be worth considerably more than a standard Playstation 4 Slim with 500 gigabytes of storage. A limited edition, anniversary edition, or special promotional edition will often be worth more than a standard retail edition as well.
Components, Accessories, Add Ons, And Premium Upgrades
Used PS4 gaming consoles that are complete and ready to use fetch the highest dollar value. To be considered complete, a used gaming console should be accompanied by all of the accessories that were included with the unit when it was brand new. At a bare minimum, a complete Playstation 4 gaming system should include the power cord, audio visual connection cables, and at least one game controller. Used PS4 gaming console bundles with additional accessories like console stands, additional controllers, and PS4 games command a higher price than units without these accessories.
Wireless game controllers, controller charging stands, extra-long or premium quality connection cables, and of course, extra batteries are always popular additions. Including them as an all inclusive “premium” bundled package can go a long way to increase the worth, and therefore the ultimate asking price for a used Playstation 4 gaming system.
Condition
The physical condition of the console itself, as well as any included components, accessories, and PS4 games will play a large role in determining the worth of a used Playstation 4 gaming system. Used Playstation 4 gaming consoles and components that contain all of their original parts, are functioning as intended, clean, and free of any visible damage are far more valuable than used Playstation 4 gaming units that are missing parts, damaged, or have damaged or non-functioning pieces. Used Playstation 4 consoles with outer cases that have been physically modified or otherwise altered from their original appearance with paint, permanent markers, or decals are generally worth considerably less than used Playstation 4 gaming systems that look exactly as they did when brand new and in original factory condition.
Packaging
In the excitement to install and start the game play on their new gaming console, most retail consumers destroy, or simply, throw away the original factory retail packaging after purchasing and setting up their new Playstation 4 system. Original packaging is therefore neither expected nor required when selling a used Playstation 4 gaming console. That being said, a used Playstation 4 gaming system and components that do come packaged in the original factory supplied retailer packaging will almost certainly bring a higher dollar value than a similarly equipped used Playstation 4 gaming system and components that are sold loose rather than in their original packaging.
