FlipLensHow much is a used PlayStation 5 worth?
There are three PS5 generations, each with and without a disc drive. They look similar in photos but sell for clearly different prices, so knowing the exact model is the most important step.
Which one do you have?
The model number on the back or the bottom starts with CFI. CFI-10xx and CFI-11xx are the original PS5 (825 GB). CFI-20xx is the PS5 Slim (1 TB) from 2023. CFI-70xx is the PS5 Pro (2 TB) from 2024, which has no disc drive. The Digital Edition has no disc drive; the Slim Digital Edition can get one as an add-on.
What decides the price
- Model: Pro, Slim and original are three different price levels. Compare only with the same one.
- Disc drive: the disc version usually sells above the Digital Edition. A Slim Digital with the add-on drive sits in between.
- Controller: a DualSense with drift or worn sticks lowers the price.
- Condition: scratches on the glossy parts, yellowing of the white panels, fan noise.
- Bundles: games add less than their shop price. Value the console alone first.
Check before you buy
- Read the model number (CFI-...) and the storage in Settings, System, System Software.
- Start a game: listen for loud fan noise and watch for crashes.
- Disc version: insert a disc and check it reads and ejects.
- The seller should sign out of PlayStation Network and reset the console.
- Test the controller for drift and check all buttons and triggers.
Where it sells best
Sells well on eBay and locally. It is heavy, so ship in a sturdy box and include the shipping cost in your price. Local pickup avoids shipping damage and lets the buyer test it.
