Sell Your PlayStation
Turn your old PlayStation into cash with RakeRock's buyback program. Get an instant quote for your used game console, lock in the price for two weeks, and receive payment once inspection is complete.
Why sell your old PlayStation console?
Sell your old PlayStation to free up space and put that money toward games, accessories, or something outside of gaming entirely. Consoles sitting unused don't benefit anyone, and their value drops gradually whether you're playing them or not.
How much is my PlayStation worth?
A PS5 in good condition brings more money than a PS4, and disc editions typically sell for higher amounts than digital-only versions. Consoles with scratches, worn USB ports, or fan noise issues get lower offers than pristine units, though both are sellable. RakeRock works with refurbishing experts who can repair many problems, so even damaged consoles have value. You'll receive a fair price based on current market rates.
How to sell PlayStation consoles – step by step
Step 1: Select your model and the condition of your old PlayStation, then answer a few questions to receive an instant quote.
Step 2: Review and accept your price offer if satisfied. RakeRock locks in the price for 14 days and will email a prepaid shipping label immediately.
Step 3: Pack your device, ship it, and receive payment directly to your bank within 1-3 business days of device inspection.

Do I need to include the controller and HDMI cable?
Controllers and cables increase your offer but aren't required. A complete set with original accessories brings more money than a console-only sale.
Do you buy banned or modified jailbroken consoles?
No. Banned consoles cannot access the PlayStation Network, severely limiting functionality. Jailbroken or modified systems also aren't accepted due to warranty and resale complications.
Should I factory reset my PlayStation before shipping?
Yes. A factory reset erases your account information and personal data. Back up any game saves to PlayStation Plus cloud storage or a USB drive before resetting when selling your PlayStation.
What if the warranty seal on my PS4/PS5 is removed?
Broken warranty seals indicate the console was opened, which lowers the offer. Select "warranty seal broken" or "previously opened" during your quote for accurate pricing when you sell your PS console.
Does the "Digital Edition" have a different value than the Disc version?
Yes. Disc editions typically sell for more because they offer more functionality. The market generally values disc-capable consoles higher than digital-only versions.
