Sell or trade in your PS5 Slim in Vienna
The PS5 Slim is the compact relaunch with 1 TB of storage and the detachable disc drive, and it is the most sought-after used PlayStation. If you are moving to the Pro or hardly play any more, your Slim gets the highest price of the standard models from us. A few clicks in the calculator tell you what it is worth.
PS5 Slim trade-in value by condition
| As new, complete with drive | 240 € |
| Well kept, fully working | 195 € |
| Signs of use on the casing | 145 € |
| Faulty, unopened, never repaired | from 80 € |
A PS5 Slim with its drive attached and no signs of use gets 240 €. Well kept and fault-free we pay 195 €, with scratches on the casing 145 €, and a faulty, unopened Slim still brings 80 € and up. A missing drive costs the most: without the module buyers see a Digital Edition, and that shows in the price. In top condition our buyback pays 40 € more for a Slim than for the original PS5, extra resale value worth keeping the drive for.
Reference values for the PlayStation 5 Slim with disc drive. Controller, accessories and condition change the amount. Our price after inspection in Vienna is final.
Selling a PS5 Slim with a fault
Your PlayStation 5 Slim shows no picture, no longer detects the drive, or the fan spins at full speed? A broken console is no reason to take it to the recycling centre. As long as it was never opened, we pay from 80 €. We track down the fault in our own workshop.
How selling your PS5 Slim works
In the calculator you pick start-up behaviour, appearance, ports and controller, and your estimate is ready. Once you agree, we email an insured label and you pay no postage. In Vienna we test drive, video output, Wi-Fi and USB, then the money arrives by bank transfer or PayPal around 48 hours later. More in our trade-in terms.
Getting your PS5 Slim ready to ship
Back up your saves to the cloud or a USB drive, switch off Console Sharing and Offline Play and reset the Slim under System › System Software › Reset Options. Attach the drive, or pack it well padded next to the console. You do not need to send the stand, it is not included with the Slim anyway.
Selling a PS5 Slim: common questions
What is the PS5 Slim trade-in value?
Like new with drive 240 €, well kept 195 € and with visible signs of use 145 €. A faulty PS5 Slim that was never opened brings from 80 €. The calculator adds controller and accessories.
What do I get for a PS5 Slim without its disc drive?
Without the detachable disc drive the Slim counts as a digital console. Choose the PS5 Digital Edition then, which gets 170 € like new. If you have the drive separately, send it along and the Slim price of up to 240 € applies.
Is the PS5 Slim worth more than the original PS5?
Yes. The Slim gets 240 € like new, the original disc PS5 200 €. The Slim is newer, quieter and has more storage with 1 TB, and buyers pay for that.
How much do scratches affect the price of a PS5 Slim?
Light marks that only show in the light keep the PS5 Slim at 195 €. Clear scratches on the glossy top covers put it at 145 €. A crack in the casing counts as a fault.
Will you buy a PS5 Slim with a faulty HDMI port?
Yes, from 80 €, as long as the console has not been opened. Without a picture the PS5 Slim cannot be resold, but we replace the port ourselves. Choose “No picture (HDMI)” in the calculator to see the adjusted value.
What if the drive on my PS5 Slim no longer reads discs?
Then state it in the calculator; we deduct the work and still buy the PS5 Slim. Often re-pairing the drive is enough, and if it is truly faulty we swap the module. Please pack the drive anyway.
Does a second DualSense add value to a PS5 Slim trade-in?
Yes, a second working controller adds a bonus in the calculator. A DualSense with stick drift costs a little, no controller at all clearly more. We do not buy charging stations or headsets.
Do I need the original box to sell my PS5 Slim?
No. Box and original cables add a small bonus in the calculator. Without the box, pad the PS5 Slim and the drive well; shipping is insured.
Does it cost anything to send my PS5 Slim from Vorarlberg or Tyrol?
No. The insured label is free and valid all over Austria, from Bregenz to Eisenstadt. You drop the PS5 Slim at the post office and get the same price as in Vienna.
What do I pay if I do not accept the offer for my PS5 Slim?
Only 10 € for return shipping, if you decline the inspected price. If it is below your estimate, we explain why beforehand. If you accept, there are no costs.
How do I reset the PS5 Slim before selling it?
Under Settings › Users and Accounts › Other, switch off Console Sharing and Offline Play. Then choose System › System Software › Reset Options and reset the PS5 Slim fully. We cannot buy it with an account still signed in.
When is the money for my PS5 Slim in my account?
Around 48 hours after the inspection. We pay by bank transfer or PayPal, not in cash, so every PS5 Slim purchase is properly documented.
Where is the best place to sell a PS5 Slim in Austria?
MediaMarkt buys game consoles but, according to its trade-in page, pays only with a gift card. refurbed currently buys phones only. With us you get money for your PS5 Slim by bank transfer or PayPal, even with a fault.
Should I sell my PS5 Slim before buying a PS5 Pro?
If you are upgrading, yes: a well-kept Slim brings 195 €, 240 € like new, and loses value every month. The PS5 Pro has no drive, but the Slim drive fits it. If you want to keep the drive, sell the Slim as a Digital Edition.
How do I sell my PS5 Slim if I live in Vienna?
