Your dead console
is worth $200.
That PS5 in the cupboard that never turned back on? The Series X that sounded like a jet then went silent forever? Don't bin it, don't let it haunt the shelf — post it to us and get paid. We repair them or strip them for verified parts, so we pay real money for genuinely dead machines.
Flat prices. Dead or alive.
Payout is the price below minus the actual postage — we email you the prepaid label, so you never pay a cent upfront.
Got a controller to sell too? We also buy dead PS5 controllers. Rather keep your console? A repair is usually cheaper than you think — see honest pricing.
How it works
Tell us what you've got
Model, edition, what killed it (if you know). Two minutes on the booking form.
Prepaid label, on us
Emailed within the hour. Any box, any padding, any AusPost counter.
Bench inspection
Within 48 hours of arrival we confirm the model and condition match what you told us.
Paid same day
Bank transfer for the quoted price minus the postage. Done. Go put it toward the new one.
🪳 The Cockroach Clause
We've opened consoles that came with tenants. Actual, living tenants — there's a Series X on our socials that arrived as a functioning roach hotel. If your console shows up infested, $80 comes off the payout to cover quarantine and full decontamination before it's allowed anywhere near our bench. Dust, cat hair, a decade of Cheeto residue? All fine. Dust is our whole business.
Selling your console, answered
How much do you pay for a dead console?
Dead PS5 (disc) or Xbox Series X: $200. PS5 Digital Edition: $150. The actual postage cost comes off the payout at the end — we send you the prepaid label so there's nothing to organise.
How does the buyback work?
Tell us what you've got, we email a prepaid AusPost label, you drop the console at any post office. We inspect it on the bench within 48 hours of arrival and pay you by bank transfer the same day — the quoted price minus the postage.
What if my console doesn't power on at all?
That's exactly what we're buying. Dead, no display, no power, drive jammed — all fine. We repair or strip them for verified parts, so the condition of the fault doesn't change the offer.
What's the cockroach clause?
If a console arrives with a live roach infestation, $80 comes off the payout — it covers quarantine and full decontamination before the console can come anywhere near the bench. Dust is fine. Dust is our whole business.
