I spent $300 on a new PS5 Pro + First party accessories, saved over $1000 thanks to trading in
Just wanted to post this to kinda spread awareness and give ideas to many that want a new console but wanted an alternative route/ save money.
Back in January trade in prices at GameStop were a little inflated due to selling so much during the holidays. It’s still pretty good right now if you want to try.
I bought a ton of consoles on marketplace for cheap to repair and spent a week or two fixing them (easy repairs) and just traded them in after making sure they were good to go.
Trade-in value was a LOT (people like to joke about GS’s trade in, and those jokes are always super outdated and exaggerated lol)
I don’t want to gamble on used for an expensive device, so I got brand new everything. I wouldn’t have really paid for everything like this, but this helped me get it all pretty easily. So if you wanted to upgrade, here’s an idea to do it.
