ValueCheck: PS4 Current Market Value Guide

PS4 consoles still have resale value, even today. The amount you can get depends on the model, condition, storage capacity and whether accessories are included. We update our prices daily to reflect current UK market trends, so you’ll always receive an up-to-date valuation.

Original PS4, PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro consoles are all in demand. Even if your console has faults such as HDMI port damage, overheating, disc drive issues or cosmetic wear, it may still be worth selling.

At Gadget GoGo, we make the process straightforward. You’ll receive a transparent quote, a 21-day price lock and access to same-day payment options, without the hassle of creating listings or dealing with private buyers.

Current PS4 Resale Prices

The value of a PS4 mainly depends on four factors:

• Model (PS4, PS4 Slim or PS4 Pro)
• Condition
• Storage capacity
• Accessories

PS4 Pro consoles generally achieve higher resale prices than standard PS4 and Slim models. Including the original controller, power cable and HDMI cable can also help increase the value of your console.

Factors That Affect PS4 Value

The condition of your PS4 has the biggest impact on its value. Consoles that are fully working and well looked after will usually receive higher offers than those with heavy wear, missing accessories or hardware faults.

The model you own also plays a part. PS4 Pro consoles typically achieve higher resale prices than standard PS4 and Slim models, while larger storage capacities can increase the amount offered.

Including the original controller, power cable and HDMI cable can also improve your quote. Although the original box isn’t essential, having it may add to the overall value.

Market demand changes throughout the year, so trade-in prices can rise or fall depending on buyer demand and seasonal trends.

Resale Value for Damaged PS4 Consoles

A faulty PS4 can still be worth selling. Many consoles are repaired, refurbished or used for parts, so common faults don’t automatically mean your console has no value.

Typical faults include:

• HDMI port damage
• Disc drive issues
• Overheating
• Power faults
• Loud fan noise
• Software problems
• Cosmetic damage

Your final quote will depend on the type and severity of the fault, along with whether the console still powers on. Providing an accurate description of its condition helps us offer a reliable valuation from the start.

Trade-In Services vs Private Selling

Selling your PS4 privately may result in a higher price, but it often takes more time and effort. You’ll usually need to create a listing, answer enquiries, arrange collection or postage, and wait for payment.

A trade-in service offers a quicker, more straightforward alternative with a fixed quote and a simple selling process.

How To Get The Most Money For Your PS4

A few simple steps can help you get the best possible price for your PS4. Consoles that are clean, complete and accurately described will usually receive stronger offers.

Before selling your console:

• Clean the exterior and remove any dust.
• Factory reset the console and sign out of your PlayStation account.
• Include the controller, power cable and HDMI cable if you have them.
• Package the console securely for transit.
• Be honest about any faults or missing accessories.

The original box isn’t essential, but including it may increase the value of your quote. Providing accurate condition details is the best way to avoid delays or changes to your valuation.
