Your PS4 is still worth money. Genuinely.
The one under the TV, behind the TV, or in the cupboard with the cables. Instant offer, free courier, and no lecture about how old it is.
There is a specific moment in a PS4's life where its owner decides it is worthless. It usually happens about a year after they stop playing it, and it is almost always wrong. A PS4 is not worthless, it is just no longer new, which is a completely different thing.
South Africa has an enormous installed base of PS4s and a healthy appetite for them, because a console that plays a decade of excellent games for a fraction of current-gen money is a genuinely good buy. That demand is why we will still put a real number on yours instead of offering you a polite two hundred rand and a shrug.
The reason to do it now rather than eventually is boring but true: every month it sits there, the number gets a little smaller, and the odds of the cable, the controller or the box going missing get a little higher.
Every one of these has two numbers.
What it is worth working, and what it is worth faulty. Both are real, both are yours in about a minute, and both depend on the actual console rather than a best case printed on a page. That is why the number lives in the calculator and not in a table here.

Upgrading?
Then you are not really selling. You are part-paying.
This is the most common upgrade we handle. Your PS4 will not cover a PS5 on its own, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something, but it covers a meaningful share and it is money you are currently getting nothing for.
Take the payout as EpicDeals.co.za credit instead of cash and we add 12% on top. That is us paying you for not needing the money in your account today, and it costs you nothing if you were going to spend it here anyway.
The 12% is only worth taking if you were going to spend it. If you need the cash, take the cash, and we will not make the voucher hard to refuse.
What actually moves the number.
Which of the three you actually have
Original, Slim and Pro look more alike than they are, and they are worth meaningfully different amounts. The model number is on a sticker on the back. If you are not sure, pick the one you think it is and we will correct it fairly, not silently.
Whether it still sounds like a PS4
The original launch model was famous for sounding like a jet on a runway. Some of that is normal, some of it is a fan that has spent ten years inhaling dust. We can tell the difference and it does affect the price.
Controllers
DualShock 4 sticks wear out. Almost all of them have some drift by now. Send them anyway, a worn controller is still worth more than no controller.
Hard drive size
A 1TB drive is worth a little more than a 500GB one. If you swapped in a bigger drive yourself, that counts, tell us.
Things that do not disqualify it.
Every one of these lowers the offer. Not one of them ends it. Pick the matching condition, say what is wrong in the notes, and the price you are shown already accounts for it.
- Loud fan, dust-clogged vents, overheating
- Blue light of death, or no power at all
- Disc drive that will not accept or eject discs
- HDMI port damage
- Failing or noisy hard drive
- Controller drift, sticky buttons, dead triggers
- Yellowed or scuffed casing
