How We Evaluate Used Handheld Gaming PCs
At MobiTraderSA, we strive for full disclosure on all our gaming consoles for sale. We ensure the product page lists any marks or issues, so you know exactly what to expect. Here's how we grade our consoles and determine a fair pre-owned price:
Battery Health is Tested and Listed
Battery wear is the biggest unknown when buying a used handheld, so we measure it on every unit and list the result on the product page as a percentage, pulled directly from the unit. If a console has lower than 70% battery health, the battery is replaced with an original.
Screen Functionality is Fully Tested and Checked
We inspect every screen for dead pixels, scratches, and marks, and describe any wear honestly in the listing. We test the touchscreen across the full display. We list scratches, marks, and any other details you need to know in the product description.
Every Button, Stick, and Trigger Gets Tested
We test every button, trigger, and control on the device. Both thumbsticks are checked for drift. On the Legion Go, we test the detachable controllers attached and detached. On the PlayStation Portal, we check the adaptive triggers and haptics. Any faulty parts are replaced with originals.
Tested with Real Gameplay
We run a game on each handheld to check performance, fan noise, and heat under load. We also test charging, the USB-C port(s), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, speakers, the headphone jack, and the microSD slot.
Updated and Factory Reset
Each handheld is factory reset, with the previous owner's accounts removed and the software updated to the latest version, so you can set it up.
Cleaned, Graded, and Photographed
Each console is thoroughly cleaned. We describe its cosmetic condition plainly, down to details like the light shine on the hand grips. The photos on each listing are of the actual unit you'll receive.
What's in the Box Listed Upfront
Each listing shows exactly what’s included, such as the carry case, charger, an SA plug adapter where needed, and whether the original retail box is included.

Pre-Owned Handheld Gaming PC FAQs
Is it safe to buy pre-owned handheld gaming consoles?
Yes, but buy from a trusted reseller that has tested all components, including battery health and the screen. Testing a pre-owned handheld console takes time, and you might need additional software. Most private sellers won't be willing to wait for you to test everything you need. MobiTraderSA takes the time to test every component.
What are the benefits of buying a Steam Deck pre-owned?
The biggest benefit is the savings you get without sacrificing quality or a warranty when you shop at MobiTraderSA. Plus, you can still play all the same games, enjoy the same features, and get the same game quality as a brand-new unit.
What is the difference between the ROG ALLY and the ROG Xbox Ally?
Surprisingly, the older ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme) has a more powerful processor and more graphics units. However, the ROG Xbox Ally has a 50% bigger battery and built-in handles for more comfort.
What constitutes good battery health in a pre-owned handheld console?
We find that anything above 70% still offers fairly good playtime, but the console should be discounted, as you'll need to replace the battery within the next year. At MobiTraderSA, we replace batteries below 70% before listing the console on our website.
How do handheld consoles from MobiTraderSA compare to pawn shops?
The biggest difference comes down to testing and how we disclose our consoles' condition and functionality. We test every aspect of the unit and include key details in the listing. Also, these units are tested by technicians who understand exactly what to look for, whereas staff at pawn shops are unlikely to have the same experience.
Can I trade in my Xbox or PlayStation for a handheld console?
Yes, MobiTraderSA makes it easy to trade in any console for a handheld gaming PC. We pay 10% more for your current console when you trade it in. To get an instant offer, visit our sell your console page.
How long does delivery take?
The fastest courier method is PUDO Lockers, and it's free when you spend R999 or more. Delivery times range from 2 to 5 business days, while door-to-door delivery with Courier Guy takes 3 to 6 business days.
MobiTraderSA operates from Mossel Bay, Western Cape. All our handheld gaming consoles are ready to ship, and if you order before 15:00 (Mon-Fri), we ship the same day.
Can I return the product if I'm not happy?
Yes, we give you 14 days to return the product for a refund or exchange. If you change your mind within the first 7 days, we'll refund the full amount. If you want to return it or exchange it within 8 to 14 days, a 10% restocking fee applies. For more details, read our return policy.
Do pre-owned handheld gaming PCs come with a warranty?
Yes, like all gaming consoles at MobiTraderSA, your handheld comes with a 6-month warranty. For more info, please visit our warranty page.
