    Not as much as you get selling privately but then you arent having to deal with scumtree or marketplace people turning up and offering you less than agreed upon..

        I hate the dils that think they can tell you what your items is worth. I was selling a GPU last year and they're hit me with l low ball that was like half the asking price and I'm like nope my price is literally already the lowest on gumtree, and they're like "it's not worth that much"…..I had a taker for the asking price like an hour later.

          tbf most the shit i see on gumtree/fb marketplace are overpriced af
          for example a 1070 recently going for $700… seller must be smoking some special shit

          • nikftw on 03/05/2022 - 20:30

            @s1Lence: Off-topic but what is a reasonable price for a 1070 these days?

            • s1Lence on 03/05/2022 - 20:46
              +2

              @nikftw: well i've seen (very rarely) good condition 1080ti for as low as 450, but not uncommon at 500 and fairly common at $600
              1070ti/1080 would recommend $450 at most
              finally 350 is the most i would spend for a standard 1070 but at that point might as well hunt for a 1070ti for 450-500 or 1080ti for 500

              these are lower prices than most are selling for but if you hunt you can easily buy these cards at these prices if you want, remember these cards are fairly ancient now so anyone selling them for well above these prices can get a kick up the arse

            • goose25 on 03/05/2022 - 22:32

              @nikftw: Sold my 1070ti a couple weeks back for $380. Regular 1070's were going for between $330 and $380~

      Hehe yup, honestly this is the same reason I gladly took them up on their PS4>PS5 trade/purchase offers despite everyone saying you can sell those last gen systems for more privately.

      Not sure if I just got lucky but I've never had any trouble on gumtree/facebook for years, however during the pandemic it's almost like a switch flipped.

      Got an absurd amount of lowballs for every item I've tried to sell. 20+ lowballs for $150 and less for my $300 ps4 ad. Another 15 or so "is it available?" ghosters. 3 no shows pickups. Even had 1 guy get irate showing me another classified listing saying other people are selling the console for $240, I was overcharging people and he would only offer $200. Pointed out the link he gave me was for a US listing in USD and he stopped replying.

      Eventually sold at auction on ebay for $340 and haven't use the other 2 shitty classified sites since.

      Also tried to sell a laptop before the ps4 and some guy tried to offer me his girlfriend's underwear for a 50% discount….

    • snvl on 03/05/2022 - 18:41

          +3

          As a seller this is bloody annoying, especially when the ad says "if the ad is up, it's available".
          Doesn't take much to say "thanks but I've found another one"

        I do this by accident all the time.

        I want to send to my partner to share to see her thoughts and the big blue send button is the way to send a message. So most of the time it's instinctive the button to push and other times I just accidentally press it when trying to scroll or whatever. No way to undo.

          • Xianese on 03/05/2022 - 18:15

            @leasky: Fully boxed up with Level 4 20% bonus it was $185ish. Apparently the camera counts as a separate piece (I had the PSVR Worlds Bundle, minus the Worlds game).

            • chriise on 03/05/2022 - 18:23

                @plmko: Move controllers are where the value is.
                A VR by itself won't go for that.
                Regardless, I only paid $199 for my VR so $185 two years later works for me.

    Can't believe PS4 Pro's are still worth what htey are.

    On a side note though, I heard from my local EB that if you trade in for store credit, you have to use it immediately and they are in the process of contacting everyone who has longstanding credit from previous trade in deals to apply it to preorders/actual sales. I don't know the basis of this or if it's just my local EB store, but given I traded in a PS4 and Xbox One X before, I was surprised to hear they are taking this approach…

    • freefall101 on 03/05/2022 - 17:08

      PS5s are hard to get, so people hang on to old ones.

      Encouraging people to use store credit sounds like they’re about to go into administration or something. They’re owned by GameStop in the US so it wouldn’t surprise me

      • WhatWouldBiggieDo on 03/05/2022 - 17:25
        +1

        Why would a company that was worried about administration try and move product that they are not getting 'cash' for?

        • freefall101 on 03/05/2022 - 17:28

          The Australian business is profitable. But people with credit could get screwed over as part of any spinoff or anything.

          I’m talking out of my arse, but it’s the only reason to encourage people to use credit, not screw over customers they don’t want to lose post administration. Or they don’t want to have those credits on the books for whoever they sell too.

      • rakerr on 03/05/2022 - 19:56

        If they were close to administration the last thing they would do is encourage people to cash out their credit.

    • Pandaroo on 03/05/2022 - 17:41
      +3

      The workaround is to apply your credit it to the most distant per-order they have in the system and then keep changing your credit around to later per-orders as required.
      Then cancel and use the credit on something when the time comes.

      • jace88 on 03/05/2022 - 18:46
        +1

        That's what they used to let me do but the problem is when the preorders start getting filled or close to release… and then you need to keep jumping them around. I made the mistake of putting it on a $150 preorder but then when it was about to release, I had to find multiple preorders to utilise the balance. It's just getting too difficult, and I spoke with the manager last weekend and he said he's been given directive to get everyone to fully utilise it as theye won't be carrying forward due to some changes in rules (not sure if this is a change in law or just store policy). Shrug.

        • Pandaroo on 03/05/2022 - 18:51

          Yeah it sounds like a huge pain, I haven't traded in anything for years for this reason. Only worth if you're trading in for a current gen console.

    Been out of the game for a while. I have a near near new xbox one s is it worth keeping for any reason?

      If you don't plan to play games on it, and already have a smart TV for Netflix and stuff. I don't see it being useful for you specifically.

      Yes, for emulators.

        The one S' Jaguar cpu is under powered for that though, and the uwp emulators still have hit or miss compatibility. Not only are the office towers cheaper, and have potential to play up to ps3 emulator, it's also simply more user friendly.

          Mine is the OG (non S) and it's rock solid for up to PS1. N64 and beyond is flacky.

          Completely disagree. Retroarch in retail mode is extremely easy to set up. Much simpler than setting up Batocera etc.

          Disagree with under powered statement. I had first gen Xbox running retroarch no problem.

          Xbox one s should be much better imo

    Of course they do this right after the late April PS5 shipment…
