On eBay look up the sold price. Not the listed price. I was able to snag my PS4 Pro with 6 games for cheaper than what you listed. I did get it through Craig’s list though.

pipebomb posted:Can you guys help me out? I took some stuff in trade for a computer, and one of the items is a PS4 Pro, Spiderman Edition. It’s a 1tb version, in perfect condition with the boxes, cables, controller, etc. Going off sold auctions I'd say try to get $400-425 for it and drop down to 350 is you need to. Wow jesus christ I can't believe last gen consoles resale for MSRP in 2021 hellworld lol. In any other timeline, buying a PS4 pro would be like $100 a year after it's predecessor was released. I gave my PS4 pro to my brother for free and I don't think he has used it for more than an hour. Could have just loving covered my PS5 with that thing.

How easy is selling on eBay? I've heard horror stories of private sellers being scammed, with little recourse because the way eBay is setup favors and protects buyers.

I've never had anything like that happen, but Ebay/paypal takes a size-able chunk of your money, takes way too long to pay out, and it's possible to have to deal with a buyer who's a pain in the rear end. I use it to sell weird high $$$ collectable poo poo that is really hard to sell for a decent price anywhere else, that's really where Ebay shines. Something like a Playstation I'd just unload on Craigslist which is way less of a hassle. Although if they did sell that Spiderman PS4 on CL I'd say ask less than I recommended. Probably knock $50+ off if you actually want to sell it promptly.

I turned my PS4 Pro into a streaming / PS5 remote box in the bedroom but now I'm thinking I should just sell the drat thing. A basic rear end PS4 could do that.

I was commenting on this in like 2019, but the PS4 price stability is loving wild. Where the PSX, PS2, and PS3 saw MSRP price drops of up to 60% or more over their lifespan, the PS4 was still selling for 400 bux 7 years in even before COVID hit. Just insane.

I sold my PS4 Pro for $200 off Facebook Marketplace the day after I got my PS5 and thought I was getting a good deal, even after he ripped me off and only had $180 on him. He told me it was for his son and I’ve had too many bad Christmases of my own when I was poor so I was like “gently caress it, it’s more than the guy at GameStop would give me!” I guess in hindsight I couldn’t have predicted that my 4 year old console would sell for basically what I had paid for it, as I’ve owned a Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Game Cube, PS2, Xbox 360, and a PS3 and none of them sold for even HALF of what I paid for them (although I just gave my GameCube and PS3 to my brother because he and his wife are huge retro gamers), and karmically I just got a $200 SSD for free, so it all comes out in the wash, but yeah, it’s wild. More kids will be opening up PS4s this year than PS5s.

It’s like a funny inverse of the meme where your loving and well meaning grandmother buys you Lee Carvello’s Putting Challenge instead of a good game, except millions of kids will be like “awww it’s an Wait an XBOX!?!!?

You can plug in any USB hard drive and play Xbox One/360/OG games from those and just cycle the very few actual Series exclusive games there is on and off an external. The transfer speeds are pretty quick tbh.

It's interesting seeing the 2nd hand prices of PS5s here, the disk drive version is going for €845 (!!!) whereas the diskless is going for €390, less than retail

I’m jus sayin it takes longer to mount the heat sink and install//format the drive than it does to transfer a full PS5 worth of games to the SSD. If that’s “slow” than the Xbox must wirelessly transfer the games to your SSD before u install it.

I may get a Series S for emulation (retroarch, no CFW needed), Forza Horizon and back compat. More than enough value.

I guess PS5's only being released in a Schrodinger's reality so far is probably why the price of PS4s hasn't done a bitcoin dive yet.

It's all part of the story where gaming hardware in general is in higher than usual demand and supply constrained for a variety of reasons. A used Switch holds its value pretty well right now too. Even an Xbone S goes for at least $120 on ebay. People are selling their years-old GPUs for the price they paid to buy it new.

I thought about buying a Series S for Retroarch but Steam straight up has it in the store now with DLC cores for whatever console you're trying to emulate, without having to pay an extra tenbux to MS for the right to install it. So I'm gonna get a Steam Deck instead whichll still let me play whatever fringe MS Studios game I'd want and still have a dock for TV or carry with me for on the go emulation.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Supply wasn't constrained in late 2019 and early 2020 when PS4 was still 400 bux, 6+ years after its release Conditions have changed, the reasons a PS4 holds its value now aren't the same as the reasons a PS4 held its value a couple years ago. It's exceptional that its price held up after the PS5 launched, and that's a different kind of exception from holding its value when it was the latest available generation of hardware. Part of the reason is PS5 scarcity, but it's really because of the general gaming supply/demand crunch that has pushed people into picking up whatever they can get their hands on. The PS5 didn't sell poorly, it did good launch numbers. I'm sure a glut of used PS4s hit the market as a result, but there was a ton of demand waiting to snap them up, so used prices didn't crater. acksplode fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Dec 6, 2021 |

I currently live between my flat and my fiancee's so having a small console that is easy to carry is a plus. Looking at how things are going, the Series S has great value right now. Holy poo poo, let me get a PS5 soon or I'll end with another Xbox.
