How much will a pawn shop give you for a ps2?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, it really depends on the condition of your PS2, like if it's covered in Cheeto dust and missing half the buttons, you might not get much. But if it's in decent shape, you could probably score around 20-30 bucks for it. Just remember, pawn shops are all about that bargain life, so don't expect to retire off your old gaming console.

Answer 2

What a pawn shop will pay for a PS2 (or just about anything) depends on their target profit margins, their business expenses, the time it will take to resell the item, and their current inventory levels of that item. Some shops have fixed rates for popular items, like a PS2. Some won't want them at all and will pass because of their low value. Give a local shop a call and ask them.

Many pawn shops sell on eBay. Here's what I would do for pricing out a PS2.

First go to eBay and find the exact model of your PS2 and look at the recently sold listings.

Those listings are all of the PS2s, but let's assume you're selling the Launch Edition PS2, which is selling between $30-$40 with shipping.

Worst case scenario, I'd sell the PS2 for $30. My shipping cost would be about $8, would cost about $5 in labor for cleaning it, photographing it, and listing it to eBay.

So head on over to a Final Fee Calc to calculate fees. For shipping cost, I will also add in the $5 of labor. The calculator shows that I would profit $13.98 if I got the PS2 for free and sold it for $30. This would start me off at a $7 offer to split the profits 50-50.

If I think I will sell it quickly at closer to $40, I might offer $15 instead. If I'm low on inventory or plan to sell it for $30 in-store (and avoid the shipping costs and the eBay/PayPal fees) then I could go as high as $20.

Buying inventory at a pawnshop is a good mix of an art and a science. I hope this helps give some insight from the pawn broker's perspective!
