Microsoft

Sell your Xbox One.

Original, S or X. Old enough to feel worthless, valuable enough that it is not. Free courier, instant offer, honest number.

The Xbox One generation is the one people most often assume is dead. It is not. The Xbox One X in particular still sells well, because it plays an enormous library properly and costs a fraction of anything current, and there is a whole market of people who want precisely that deal.

The original 2013 Xbox One, with the power brick the size of a loaf of bread, is worth less. But less is not nothing, and the calculator will give you the actual figure rather than making you find out by listing it and waiting.

Three quite different consoles wore this name. Getting the right one matters more here than on almost any other page on this site.

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.

An Xbox One X trades in for enough to make a Series S a genuinely small top-up. Everything you own carries forward, because backwards compatibility on Xbox is the real thing rather than the marketing kind.

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 one it is, exactly

The One X is worth roughly three times the original One. They are easy to confuse: the X is black and dense, the S is white and lighter, the original has a separate power brick. Check the sticker on the back if you are unsure.

The power brick, on the original

The 2013 model needs its external brick, and a surprising number have lost theirs. Without it, the console is much harder to sell, and the offer reflects that. Look in the cupboard.

Kinect, and why it barely matters

Kinect adds almost nothing to the value now. Send it if you like, but do not delay the sale hunting for it.

Disc drive and hard drive health

These are the two parts of a ten-year-old Xbox most likely to have quietly failed. Both are common, both are priced for, neither is a rejection.

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.

  • Disc drive that grinds, refuses discs or will not eject
  • Failing internal hard drive, long load times, corruption errors
  • Missing power brick (original model)
  • Overheating, loud fan, dust-packed vents
  • HDMI output failure
  • Controller drift, worn triggers, battery door missing
  • Will not power on

Xbox One questions.

The S is white and light. The X is black, noticeably heavier, and has a slot-loading drive on the left. Both have internal power supplies, unlike the original. If it is black and heavy, you have the valuable one.

One minute, one number.

No account, no obligation, no salesperson phoning you at supper time.
