Right, gather round, bargain hunters. You've decided you want a PlayStation 5, but the mere thought of paying full price has made your wallet physically flinch. Fair enough. Enter the wild, weird, and occasionally wonderful world of second-hand PS5 shopping, where prices bounce around more than a bouncy castle at a toddler's birthday party. Let's have a proper chinwag about what a used PS5 actually costs in the UK, and more importantly, how to avoid getting mugged off in the process.
One minute you'll see a used PS5 going for a cheeky £250 with a stack of games included, the next some absolute diamond is asking £450 for a console that's clearly been used as a drinks coaster. The truth is, used PS5 prices in the UK typically hover somewhere between £250 and £350 for the standard disc edition, with the Digital Edition usually fetching a bit less. The disc version tends to hold its value better because you can play second-hand games on it, which, if you're buying used, is probably your entire life philosophy at this point. Keep an eye on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and CeX, but always check the going rate first, otherwise you'll end up paying "mate rates" to a complete stranger who saw you coming.

Once you've snagged your bargain-basement PS5, you're going to need somewhere sensible to put it, especially if you've gone full collector mode and bought seventeen of them because the prices were too good to resist. Some enthusiasts swear by proper heavy-duty shelving to keep their kit organised, and honestly, if it works for warehouses, it'll work for your gaming den. Just make sure whatever shelf you use is sturdy — a PS5 crashing to the floor is the sound of four hundred quid crying.

And let's be honest, once you start buying used games to go with your used console — because paying £70 for a new game is a crime against humanity — your collection will balloon faster than you can say "five quid for FIFA 23? Go on then." Before you know it, you'll need an entire bays-and-beams setup just to house your second-hand empire. It's a slippery slope, but a gloriously cheap one.
Absolutely, as long as you use your noggin. Insist on seeing it working before you hand over cash, check the serial number isn't dodgy, and never, ever meet a seller in a dark car park at midnight because "that's when the good deals happen." A used PS5 at £280 is a bargain. A used PS5 at £280 that turns out to be a brick painted white is a lesson learned the expensive way. Happy hunting, and may your wallet stay moderately full.
