Looking at getting a second hand Xbox. Figured it’s a good way to try before spending 750 on a Series X!
Ebay sold listings have DOUBLED in cost since December? I don’t understand why? Like, damaged 3 yr old consoles selling 59 bucks under RRP?
Eb games is actually cheaper for preowned ?
Edit: should I just do the splurge for a series x? Comments got me thinking how the difference isn’t the significant anymore because of how delusional everyone is…
Check sold listings. It’s selling? I didn’t think it was until I saw a Series X go for 410 yesterday lol I’ve also seen some Series X’s go around the same price as a One S 1TB lol.
You saw a series x sell for 410 when the series x still isn't really in stock quite yet at 749 RRP?
Oh sorry, One X! The names are so similar I mix them up.
@orangecats: I did the exact same thing. MS didn't do themselves any favours with how they named this thing, if they wanted to make sure people want and ask for the new one.
I was considering selling my old Xbox but its a Day One Original 500GB Xbox…not sure what its worth. Maybe $100-150? I figure anything less than $120, and I will just keep it and use it in the second living room…
I sold mine for $250 with 1 controller and 4 games (FO4, RDR2, HaloMCC and Halo 5) in early December.
Mix of people like you that want premium but not a $750 premium, people that are trying to recoup as much of the $750 as possible.
Also EB had level 4 trade in values at $400+ so they have set the perceived value.
And I’m sure there are still some clueless mums and dads buying the one x thinking it’s a series x.
I did that for the PS5. The 400+ value was for level 4 members for two console types only (One X And Pro). Which is why I kind of understood the One X pricing logic by people but One S was about 200 credit, or just under for level 4 members.
But I can see people misunderstanding the Eb games trade credit pricing varies….
I’m more comfortable spending 750 new gen than 300-400 older gen without warranty.
I think I’ll go with the Series X!
People have bought them while in strict lockdown and don’t want it now?
Probably more people getting confused, thinking they're getting last years console for half price
The One X was discontinued shortly before the Series S and Series X was released.
I guess you aren't looking hard enough OP, or being inpatient. The good deals sell fast. Bought a One X recently in a bundle, I'd say $150-$200 for the console itself (which is in great condition) if I sold the extras.
Gumtree or Facebook marketplace, cash in person for best prices. ebay is usually inflated as it's national prices + shipping needs to be included.
Advertised and selling are 2 different things…
people are becoming delusional having being locked up too long….
