At Cash Generator, we make selling your games console simple.

If you're happy with the offer, you can complete the sale there and then and receive instant cash for your console – no listings, no waiting and no unnecessary hassle.
Why sell your games console to Cash Generator?
Selling your console shouldn't be complicated.
Instead of creating online adverts, answering endless messages or arranging collections, simply bring your console into your nearest Cash Generator store. Our experienced team will inspect your console, explain how the valuation has been reached and answer any questions before you decide whether you'd like to sell.
There's absolutely no obligation to accept our offer. However, if you do, you'll receive instant cash for your games console, making it a quick and convenient way to unlock the value of gaming equipment you no longer use.
What games consoles does Cash Generator buy?
We buy a wide range of games consoles, including current and previous generation models from many of the world's leading manufacturers.
Whether you've got a PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo console or another popular gaming system, it's always worth bringing it into your local Cash Generator store for a free valuation.
Even if your console isn't the latest model, don't assume it has no value. Many older consoles continue to be in demand and may still be worth more than you expect.
Did you know?
Many people replace their games console but never get around to selling the old one. If yours has been sitting unused for months—or even years—it could still be worth turning into instant cash.
Can I sell an older or faulty games console?
Yes. Many older or faulty games consoles still have resale value.
Cosmetic wear, minor faults or well-used controllers don't always prevent a console from being purchased. While these factors will naturally affect the valuation, many customers are pleasantly surprised to discover that their unwanted console is still worth money.
If you're unsure whether your console is worth selling, simply contact your local Cash Generator store by phone, WhatsApp or email. Alternatively, pop into your nearest store and one of our team will be happy to assess your console and provide a free, no-obligation valuation.
What affects the value of my games console?
Every console is individually assessed and valued based on several factors, including:
- Make and model
- Storage capacity
- Cosmetic condition
- Whether the console is fully functional
- Controllers and accessories included
- Power and HDMI cables
- Current market demand
How do I prepare my games console before selling?
Before bringing your console into store, it's worth taking a few minutes to prepare it.
We recommend that you:
- Back up any saved games or data you'd like to keep.
- Sign out of your accounts.
- Remove parental controls where applicable.
- Factory reset the console.
- Give the console and controllers a quick clean.
- Bring the power cable, HDMI cable and controller with you.
- Bring any original accessories or packaging if you still have them.
Do I need the original box or accessories?
While it's always helpful if you still have the original box, it isn't essential.
Your valuation is based primarily on the console itself, its condition and current market demand. However, bringing the controller, power cable and HDMI cable with you allows our team to fully test the console and may help maximise its value.
If you also have games, additional controllers or official accessories you'd like to sell, bring those along too. Our team will be happy to assess everything during your visit.
