Trade-in
The old one pays for part of the new one.
Take your payout as credit instead of cash and we add 12%. Same console, same free courier, bigger number, spendable on anything at EpicDeals.co.za.
Most people who sell us a console are not clearing out a cupboard. They are standing in front of a newer one, doing arithmetic.
That arithmetic is where the old console quietly loses. It sits under the television being worth something, nobody counts it, and the new one gets bought at full price as though the old one were worth nothing at all. It is not. It is worth a real number, and that number is at its highest right now, on the day you decided you wanted the new thing.
So here is the whole offer, without ceremony: get an instant price, send the old console on a free courier, and take the payout as EpicDeals.co.za credit with 12% added on top. That extra 12% is us paying you for not needing the money in your bank account today, which is genuinely worth something to us and costs you nothing if you were going to spend it here anyway.
Where the old one usually goes.
The moves people actually make. What each one is worth is a one-minute answer in the calculator, and it is a better answer than a table could give you, because it is attached to your console rather than to an average.
When a trade-in is the wrong choice.
It is the right one often enough that we built a page for it, and wrong often enough that pretending otherwise would be dishonest.
Take the cash instead if you need the cash
A voucher you cannot spend on what you actually need is worth less than money, not twelve percent more. If the reason you are selling is that the month is longer than the salary, take the EFT.
Take consignment if you can wait
10% more than the instant offer, paid once it sells, averaging 13 days. More money than the voucher, but it arrives after you would have wanted to buy the new console.
Sell it privately if it is immaculate and complete
A boxed, mint console with extra controllers earns the largest private-sale premium there is, because you are selling to an enthusiast rather than to a business that has to resell it. It costs you a few hours and some risk.
Take the voucher if you were buying anyway
Which is the whole point. If the new console is happening either way, 12% on top is free money, and it is the only one of these four options where waiting costs you nothing at all.
