Boosted Console Trade-in Values (eg PS4 Pro - $300, Xbox One X - $250) + Your EB World Trade Bonus @ EB Games

920

Just saw this tweet, some decent trade in returns at EB games at the moment.

Especially if you're looking to get a next gen console, now's the time to backup your data and get a good amount back before upgrading.

Yes yes you can probably get a little more selling privately, but the difference is small enough to avoid the hassle.

Probably wouldn't suggest trading in the PS5 Disc Edition/Switch OLED for that amount but the rest have decent returns.

Also extra note that your EB World Level Bonus is added on top of these.

Console Trade-In Value Level 2 - 10% Level 3 - 15% Level 4 - 20% Level 5 - 25%

      • i returned mine boxed, and asked that question, apparently they actually throw out all the boxes, as they get repackaged in their own. the only time they keep boxes is if its a limited edition console or bundle.

  • If there's stuff that you need from EB, depending on your level you could turn it into a bit of a bargain with cheap consoles like this

  • Just traded my Xbox one x in for $275 with my level 2 membership.

    • I got rid of a series S for 260. So you did well.

      • I asked how much the trade value is for a series s and the girl said it would be between $100 and $300. Definitely hanging onto it for that price even though I haven’t used it in a while.

  • Yer so they strictly only price match games and usually only with places like big w or jb hi fi not Harvey Norman, online retailers ect… buzz kill that’s for sure :(

  • I have a lv 4 membership if anyone wants the boosted return, lmk. Not sure if this is frowned upon, just trying to help fellow OzBangas out.

    • Hey mate, if you could send a screenshot through of your membership, that'd be much appreciated! EB said they would not check ID for the trade-in bonus

    • Yea likewise, I'm about to go trade it in soon!

  • They've got a trade-in offer for this controller which values the traded in controller at $40.
    Tempted to exchange with one of my Xbox one S controller which has a slight default. Is $40 good value?

    • +1

      It's $40 + your EB World bonus.
      Regardless, it's a great deal if you need a new controller.

      • EB World bonus, that's depending on your level, right? I barely shop with them hence I'm level 1 lol

      • would you happen to know if I can trade in 2 controllers and put towards this controller while both valuing $40 each + the EB world bonus?

        Also would this offer only be for an xbox controller or could I trade a ps4 controller?

  • Traded in my old PS4 500gb and Switch today for Switch OLED.

  • Just console and power cable enough or need to include anything else?

    • +1
    • +2

      You need everything here

      I traded in both a PS4 500GB and original Switch last night and the staff knew what they were looking for.

      • was your original sw patched ?

        • No - I don't try to mod current/last gen consoles.

          • @tallkid123: @tallkid123 anoter Q: did they test the switch thoroughly, joycon drift, connected while slided in/wirelessly etc?

            • @CyberMurning: No, they'll sight your ID though incase there is an issue later. They dont test or turn on your old consoles in store.

              • @tallkid123: Wow so they can just ask us to pay some money back because they find some issues? What if staff drop it once we left the store for example. Weird policy

  • if for example my switch, one of the joycon doesnt work when going into the slot (but works if wirelessly).
    meaning they will reduce the buy back amount, or straight reject ?

  • Would it be better HODL games and not trade them in atm? Don't they normally do upsized trade in bonuses for accessories and games sometimes?

    • You get 50% extra trade bonus in your birthday month. Sometimes they also have the "Trade in 2 games, get this one for $29" or something so good to hang on to them if you're not strapped for cash at the moment.

      • +1

        To clarify, 50% extra is for level 3 and above.

        They haven't done the latter bonus for several months now (Pokemon Arceus was one of the last ones). They are instead doing double EB World Bonus for certain preorders.

        • Oh I thought the birthday bonus was for everyone. My bad!

          And yeah they're doing the "20 to 22" bonuses or something at the moment, haven't seen the discount for a little while.

        • Does 50% extra mean that my usual Level 3 15% bonus would be +7.5% on top? (so 22.5% total?)

  • Has anyone traded in an Xbox elite 2 controller? Just interested to see what they would give me for it, it does have some stick drift.

  • I'm in QLD and can confirm traded in Xbox One 500GB with Level 3 and got $172.50 as advertisted and it was given as "cash" back onto my bank card.
    They didn't test it or anything, just checked it had controller, power cable & hdmi cable with it.
    They did ask to see photo ID though and wrote down my driver's licence number (i asked about this and they said it was in case i was trading-in stolen goods).

  • Does anyone know if EB take consoles with after market and or corded controllers?

    Mate's got an old Xbox One that's a bit on the fritz that he has no idea what to do with, but he has no controller, could I throw him a crappy corded remote and he be right orrrrr? Website just mentions controller, it doesn't specify beyond "1 x Xbox One Controller"

    • Depends on the retail staff.

      They're the ones who will give you your trade credit once they've checked.

  • +1

    I want to trade in my ps4 pro and Xbox 1 X against a PS5 but don’t have a pre-order in atm - any ideas how I can take advantage of this higher trade in deal now ( can I buy games/ some other console and then return it) and somehow be able to use the trade value when an actual PS5 does become available. I’m in Sydney

    • Do they offer cash?

      • Not in Sydney

    • +1

      You can split your credit into preorders with later dates, such as Assassin's Creed: Mirage - Collector's Edition, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and so on.
      When PS5 preorder is available, you can cancel the games and tell the store that you want use the credit towards PS5.

      • I went and asked EBGames Stanhope, they said we can not do this trick. It has to be something we actually will be buying. How can they enforce it?

        • Just traded in and the lady said if I tap (Apple pay) it can take upto 2 weeks to get the credit however if I had my card on me it would have been 24hrs - anyone knows how much time it takes for the money to come if you tap?

          Btw was travelling to Melbourne so carried my consoles- it was easy as, walked in and traded in with credit back to account as per this deal where in NSW they won’t budge

          • @Maxdax: I had the money in my bank straight away am in county Victoria.

            • @ausbob71: Did you tap via phone ?

              • @Maxdax: No I inserted my card.

                • +1

                  @ausbob71: I got the money today after 5 days so not that bad - inserting the card is the fastest way!

        • Is that store specific? Thats really odd. I do this in sydney cbd and it was fine.

          • +1

            @akte: I went again asked another employee. He was very nice and friendly compared to the first one. He said it is doable . He took them and pre booked 3 Assassins Creeds. Must be employee specific.🤣

  • Thanks OP, been sitting on a PS4 Pro waiting for this to save me the gumtree hassle

  • Can we trade in PS VR Headsets? How much?

  • Can we trade in a PS4 pro with another PS4 controller of a different colour to the console? Would this affect the trade in price? I'll give my local ebgames a call anyway to confirm.

    • +1

      I traded a white Xbox controller with a black console - no problem

  • Anyone in Melbourne with a Level 3 or higher EB World that’d be willing to meet at their closest store and help me trade mine in?

  • +1

    Does anyone know the standard rates for trade in now?

  • +1

    Now that this has finished, does anyone have a list of the standard console console trade-in values?
    EB games is very coy about it and refuse to give values over the phone and want me to physically bring them in to get a quote, so bloody annoying.

    • +1

      I called today and it's $196 for a PS4 1TB but you can also trade in a game (any game apparently) for an extra $20.
