Gaming console trade-in

You’re probably sat there on the sofa wondering “how do I sell my console?” Especially if you want to upgrade your setup. Or, if we’re getting even more specific – “how do I sell my Nintendo Switch, or sell my PS4?” Well, you’re in luck. Our next level console trade-in service means you can get some cash for any kind of console. From the PS5, to the Xbox Series X. So, trade-in your old one, and pocket some dough to put towards your next bit of kit. It’s a win win!

How does all this work then? Just pop in the details about your console using our free online calculator. Select the brand first (Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox). And then pick the specific model – whether that’s an Xbox Series S, or a Nintendo Switch Lite. You’ll then need to tell us whether the console is working properly, or if it’s faulty. We can’t take it off you if it doesn’t power on, is over 7 years old, or has been blocked or barred by the manufacturer. The same goes for if it’s got serious physical or liquid damage.

And if it’s not suitable for trade-in, we can still help. Take it to your nearest store for recycling and you can get at least £5 off your next tech purchase with our Cash for Trash scheme. It’s out with the old and in with the oooh!

Done with the form? Tap confirm and you’ll see how much we’ll pay you for it. If you like the number, you’re ready to finish up your trade-in. This bits worth remembering first though. When we get our hands on your console (and if you haven’t done so already), we’ll wipe it completely of all your data. So, make sure you’ve backed up those old saves somewhere! Because they’ll be gone for good.

To finish up your trade-in online, just follow the instructions. You’ll be able to arrange for us to pick up your old console. Or, if you’re not going to be in – just send it to us instead using our free postage option. When we get it, we’ll check it head to toe for any issues. And if everything’s looking alright, we’ll let you know and then process your payment. Your money will then take about three to five days to clear and show up in your account. It’s really that straightforward.

If sorting out your trade-in face to face is more your style, that’s alright too. Just make a note of your trade-in valuation and head down to your local Currys store. And obviously don’t forget your old console either!

When you get there, go and have a chat with one of our in-store gaming experts. They’ll give your console the once over to make sure it’s ok to trade-in. Then, if you get the green light, we can sort out your payment straight away. It’s that easy. Once that’s done, we’ll give you a gift card with all the money on it. And you can then put that towards something brand spanking new. Nice!
