How to Sell Your Console in 4 Easy Steps
Sell your gaming console to us in just 4 easy steps. All you need to do is fill in the calculator and we'll take care of the rest. Here's how it works:
Step 1:
Get an Offer
Time: 30 to 60 seconds
You can get an instant offer and sell any gaming console on our website. This includes PS4, PS5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo, and handheld.
It only takes about 60 seconds to get an offer for your console, accessories, disc games, and more.
The calculator also allows you to get paid instantly after testing, wait 5 days for 5% more, or get 10% more when you trade in.
Step 2:
Prepare Your Console
Time: 15 Minutes
Before you package and wrap up your console for the courier, take a photo or two, which we'll request via WhatsApp to ensure your offer is accurate.
Package the console and accessories securely in its original box or another box.
We will share the waybil with you. Please print it and stick it on the box or write the waybil number on the box so it's easy to see.
Step 3:
PUDO vs. Door-to-Door
Time: 1 to 3 Days
You have the option to deliver your console directly to us in Mossel Bay or Pretoria.
If you cannot deliver, we'll collect it for free anywhere in South Africa. We use Courier Guy Door-to-Door or PUDO Lockers that you can use 24/7 to deposit your package.
PUDO Lockers are available nationawide and you're bound to find one near you. Look for your nearest PUDO locker.
Step 4:
Testing and Payment
Time: 1 to 2 Hours
Most consoles arrive within 1 to 4 business days and we test it as soon as possible.
During the test, we'll ensure your console matches what you selected on the form. We will not change your offer unless there's a good reason, which we'll share with you and explain.
Once testing is done, we pay directly into your bank account with secure instant EFT.
It could easily take more than a week of dealing with scammers and time wasters to sell your console on Marketplace. We get it collected, tested, and get you paid within 4 days on average.

Sell Your Console with Complete Fairness and Transparency
Our calculators were designed to give you all the options needed to get the most accurate offer, and we're not going to change them. We will pay exactly what the calculator offers; it's part of what makes us the highest-rated platform to buy your console.
Be realistic and honest when filling out the calculator. Choosing the right condition and accessories will ensure 100% accuracy when we test. The offer will change only if what you selected differs from the actual console or included accessories.
If your offer changes and you're not happy, you can request that we return your console; you'll only need to pay for the courier.
Sell Your Console in Any Condition
Whether your console is like new, in good condition, used, heavily used, or broken, we'll buy it. We offer four condition categories that determine an accurate offer based on scratches and damage to your console.
Here are the four options and what they mean:
Like New Condition
If your console is in mint condition - no scratches, marks, or damage - you'll get the highest possible offer.
Good Condition
Your console has the usual light scratches, but nothing major and it's overall in excellent condition.
Fair Condition
There are a few more scratches and marks on the console you're selling, but nothing is damaged or broken.
Heavily Used Condition
Your console has deep scratches, marks, and signs of heavy use. Nothing is missing, but covers might need to be replaced.
Sell Broken Console and Still Get Paid
Your broken gaming console is still worth something, especially to us! Our calculators let you choose exactly what's wrong or broken, so you get the highest offer, since we only subtract the repair cost for that specific fault.
Here are some of the most common faults we deal with on broken consoles, and the best part of it all: you can still get paid, even if your console has these faults:
🔌 Not Turning On
You can sell a console that's not turning on at all. It's usually the power supply, but it could also indicate a bigger motherboard-level issue.
💿 Not Reading Discs
If your console gives an error when you try to play a disc game, and you've tried multiple discs, it usually indicates a failing lens. In rare cases, it might be a faulty ribbon cable.
⚡ Faulty USB Ports and Buttons
If your console won't charge your controller or the sync button is faulty on your Xbox, it won't allow you to connect controllers. It's worth trying a different cable or controller.
🛜 Not Connecting - Wifi/Bluetooth
If your console can't find any nearby networks at all, it is almost certainly a fault with the network module. If it can connect but won't download or install games, it could indicate a bigger issue.
🖥️ Not Displaying / No Video Output
A damaged HDMI port is the most common reason for no video output or other display issues. Even with different HDMI cables, there's no picture on your TV or monitor.
💾 Hard Drive Fault / Slow System
Hard drive failures are completely normal, especially on older consoles such as the PS3, PS4, and Xbox One. The system will give errors and tend to become really slow.
💨 Loud Fan / Overheating
Consoles need to stay cool, but since they suck in a lot of air to do so, they also collect dust. When the vents get clogged, the console overheats, making the fans work harder.
🎮 Controller Stick Drift / Fault Buttons
Controller drift and faulty buttons are very common - these controllers work hard, especially with FIFA! Luckily, they are repairable, and we still buy them.
