How do I test a used console before buying?

Connect it to a TV, let it boot fully, load a disc, check the fan noise and the HDMI port, test both controllers, and ask the seller to sign out and factory-reset it in front of you.

What is controller stick drift?

Drift is when the character or cursor moves without you touching the stick. Leave the controller still in a menu or game and watch for movement; also test every button and trigger.

Yes. Posting is free and there is no commission. Buyer and seller deal directly and settle payment between themselves.

Where gaming gear comes up in Bengaluru

The tech belts — Whitefield, Marathahalli, Bellandur, Electronic City, HSR Layout and Koramangala — list the most consoles and accessories, often from professionals relocating or upgrading. Indiranagar, Hebbal and Yelahanka add a steady flow. Students around the engineering colleges in the city's north and south trade game discs among themselves at the end of term. SP Road remains the city's traditional market for electronics and parts, which gives buyers a useful sense of new prices to compare against.

Game discs

Physical discs are the easiest gaming purchase to resell, and finished games come back on the market quickly.

Check the disc's underside for deep scratches; light scuffs are usually fine.
Check that the disc matches the case and your console — a PS4 disc works on a PS5 with a disc drive, but not the other way round.
Online features of older games can be switched off by the publisher. Buy for the offline content if you are unsure.
Download codes and DLC vouchers that came in the box have usually been used already.

Consoles and controllers

Test the console on a TV before paying: let it boot, load a disc, check that the fan is not unusually loud and that the HDMI port holds the cable firmly. Ask the seller to sign out of their account and restore factory settings in front of you. Avoid consoles that appear to be locked, banned or modified. For controllers, check for stick drift by watching the cursor rest in a menu, and test every button, trigger and the battery life.

Racing wheels, VR and accessories

Wheels and pedal sets come up from sim-racing fans; check force feedback, pedals and mounting clamps. VR headsets need clean lenses and working tracking. Headsets and chairs should be checked for worn padding and broken hinges. See also electronics in Bengaluru for TVs and monitors.

Buying and selling safely

Olditems is free, takes no commission and does not handle payment or delivery. Test in person, meet in daylight, and never pay an advance online, share an OTP or scan a QR code to "receive" money. To sell, give the model, storage, what is in the box and any faults, and photograph it switched on. Read our guide to selling gaming gear or post a free ad. See all Bengaluru listings.

Frequently asked questions

Most PS4 discs play on a PS5 that has a disc drive, but PS5 discs do not play on a PS4. Check the game’s compatibility and your console’s model before buying.
