Xbox One S: How Much Is It Worth and How to Sell It
If you have an Xbox One S sitting unused at home, you could turn it into extra cash by selling or trading it in. Whether you've upgraded to a newer console, moved to PC gaming or simply no longer use your Xbox, selling it can be a straightforward way to give your old technology a second life.
Envirofone makes it easy to sell your Xbox One S, with an instant quote, free postage and fast payment once your console has been checked.
How Much Is an Xbox One S Worth?
The value of an Xbox One S depends on several factors, including its storage capacity, condition and whether it includes the required accessories.
Envirofone currently accepts Xbox One S consoles in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB capacities. The exact amount you receive can vary depending on the condition of your console and the details you provide when getting your quote.
For the latest valuation, the best option is to check the current Xbox One S trade-in price directly with Envirofone. Trade-in prices can change over time, so getting a quote gives you a more accurate idea of what your console is worth today.
What Affects the Value of an Xbox One S?
There are several things that can affect how much your Xbox One S is worth when you sell it.
Storage capacity
The Xbox One S was available with different storage options, including 500GB, 1TB and 2TB. When getting your quote, make sure you select the correct capacity for your console.
Condition
Condition is another important factor. A fully working console with little or no cosmetic wear is likely to receive a higher valuation than one with noticeable damage or faults.
Envirofone provides different condition options, making it possible to get a quote even if your Xbox One S isn't in perfect condition.
Accessories
The accessories you send can also affect the trade-in process. When preparing your Xbox One S, check what is required for the condition you are selecting and make sure you include the appropriate power cable.
If you have an Xbox One S controller you no longer need, you may also be able to sell your Xbox One S Wireless Controller separately.
Can You Sell a Faulty Xbox One S?
Yes. You don't necessarily need a perfect console to sell your Xbox One S. Envirofone accepts consoles in different conditions, including faulty devices.
A faulty Xbox One S could have issues such as a damaged housing, faulty ports, disc-reading problems or other hardware or software faults. The console must still switch on, but it can be worth checking its trade-in value rather than leaving it unused.
If your console isn't in excellent condition, simply select the condition that most accurately describes it when you get your Xbox One S quote.
How to Prepare Your Xbox One S Before Selling
Before sending your Xbox One S, there are a few important steps you should take. Preparing your console properly can help protect your personal information and make the trade-in process smoother.
1. Back up your saved games
Make sure any saved games or other data you want to keep has been backed up before you reset the console. Once the Xbox has been reset, information stored locally may no longer be available.
2. Sign out of your account
Sign out of your Microsoft or Xbox account and remove the console from your account where appropriate. This helps ensure your personal information, payment details and subscriptions aren't left associated with the device.
3. Factory reset the console
A factory reset removes your personal information and prepares the Xbox One S for its next owner. Make sure you have backed up anything you want to keep before completing the reset.
4. Check the console
Before sending your Xbox One S, check that it powers on and that you have accurately described its condition. Be honest about any faults or cosmetic damage when getting your quote.
5. Include the required cable
Check the requirements for your selected condition and make sure the required power or charger cable is included. Controllers are priced separately, so make sure you accurately declare any controllers you are sending.
