Pick a PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, or Steam Deck and see the lowest current prices on eBay with shipping, condition and seller rating side by side. Prices are pulled live, so what you see is what sellers are actually asking this minute.
Live from eBayDisc or digital, and check what is in the box. Decide up front whether you want a disc drive: the digital editions of the PS5 and Xbox Series are cheaper but cannot play or resell physical games. Then confirm the listing includes the right controller(s) and all cables, because buying those separately adds up fast. A console "with 2 controllers and 5 games" can be better value than a bare unit.
Test the parts that fail. On a Nintendo Switch, the number-one issue is Joy-Con drift (the stick registering movement when untouched), so ask the seller to confirm the sticks are true, and factor a cheap replacement if not. On disc consoles, check the drive actually reads a game. On all of them, listen for loud fans and check the ports and HDMI output.
Which to buy used. The best value is usually the outgoing generation just after a new one launches, or a lightly-used current console from someone upgrading. Refurbished units from a reputable seller add a short warranty for a small premium, which is worth it on a machine with moving parts.
Storage. Modern consoles fill up fast; check whether an expansion card or SSD is included, as official storage is expensive to add later.
Live eBay listings, the largest marketplace for used and refurbished consoles. Pick a model and it fetches the current lowest-priced listings in real time.
Yes. Consoles are built tough and failures in the first few years are rare. Check seller feedback, verify the console has been tested, ask about what's included, and lean on eBay's Money Back Guarantee.
Usually 15-40% below new. Older models and previous generations drop hardest; current-gen holds value longest.
Total price with shipping, seller feedback and sales count, returns policy, stated condition (tested and working), what's included (console, controller, cables, power supply), and real photos. It is all shown next to each listing.
A daily snapshot of the lowest genuine eBay price for every model we track, and how good that price is right now versus its usual level, updated automatically. Prices last refreshed 7 August 2026 . Tap a price to see that model's cheapest listings on eBay, or tap a model name for the full live list here.
Under each model is the actual listing that price came from, so you can see whether it is the thing you want or a bundle, a variant, or an accessory that happens to share the name.
"Off retail" compares today's used price with what the model cost new. For models still on sale that is the current price; for discontinued ones it is the launch price, so it shows how far the model has depreciated rather than a discount you could get on a new one.
