BiNew by iPoint • Game consoles

Sell or buy a used PS5, Xbox or Switch, inspected before anyone pays.

BiNew makes used console deals safe for both sides, wherever the listing was posted. The seller brings the console to iPoint in Hackensack, NJ, and we send the buyer a written inspection report. The buyer pays the seller directly. Only then does the console leave iPoint, handed over at our office or shipped to any US state.

Selling your PS5, Xbox or Nintendo Switch

Show your confidence in your console. Add a free iPoint line to your listing on any marketplace or classifieds site.

  • Stand out from scammers. Buyers see that your console is ready to be inspected. It costs you nothing.
  • Sell beyond local pickup. Facebook Marketplace will not ship anything listed over $500 (Meta Seller Protection Policy), and a PS5 Pro or a bundle with games can list above that. Through BiNew a buyer in any state can buy it, and iPoint ships it.
  • Paid before it leaves iPoint. The console is released only after you confirm the buyer's payment. No waiting for delivery or a platform payout, which on a shipped Marketplace order can take up to 20 days from the day you mark it shipped (Meta Help).
  • No platform fee off your price. Facebook takes 10% of a shipped order, and most other marketplaces take a cut as well. With BiNew the buyer pays for the inspection, and you keep the full price.
  • No handover in a parking lot. A "buyer" who claims a payment problem after the console is already in their hands leaves the seller with nothing. With BiNew the console waits at iPoint until you confirm the payment.

How BiNew works

  1. The buyer books BiNew and pays the inspection fee up front.
  2. The seller brings the console to iPoint by appointment, and it stays with us.
  3. We inspect, test and photograph it and send the buyer a written report.
  4. The buyer pays the seller directly. iPoint never holds the buyer's money.
  5. Handover. Once the seller confirms the payment, we hand the console over at our office or ship it, with optional shipping insurance. Unpaid after a week, it goes back to the seller.

Buying a used PS5, Xbox or Switch: what goes wrong

The box that holds no console

In May 2026 a buyer in Aberdeen, North Carolina paid $300 cash in a Walmart parking lot for a PlayStation 5 box arranged on Facebook Marketplace. There was no PS5 inside (Sandhills Sentinel). A sealed or taped box proves nothing.

A banned console

A ban can sit on the console itself, not just an account, so it passes to the next owner. Sony's error WS-116332-6 says "Access from your PlayStation 5 console may be prohibited or temporarily unavailable" (PlayStation error codes). Nintendo's error 2124-4508 means the console has been permanently banned from online services (Nintendo Support). On Xbox, a device itself can be banned from online services in extreme cases. A banned console still powers on and looks fine at a meetup.

How to check a used PS5, Switch or Xbox before buying

PlayStation 5

  • Picture first. Start it from fully off on a TV, through the console's own HDMI port. "Test it at home" is a red flag.
  • Ban check. Sign in to your own PlayStation account and connect to PlayStation Network. Any "suspended" or "prohibited" error, such as WS-116332-6, ends the deal.
  • Disc drive. On a disc edition, a game should read, play and eject cleanly.
  • Heat and noise. Play a demanding game for 15 to 20 minutes. A fan that roars, rattles or grinds, or a shutdown, is a no.
  • Controller drift. Let go of both sticks in a menu. The cursor should not move on its own.
  • Serials match. The label, the box and the system information should agree.

Nintendo Switch

  • Joy-Con drift. Open stick calibration in System Settings and watch the dot with your hands off both sticks.
  • Ban check. Go online, for example to the eShop. Error 2124-4508 means a banned console.
  • Dock, screen and slot. In the dock, the TV picture should come up and the battery should charge. Check for dead pixels and that a game card reads.

Xbox Series X and Series S

  • Go online. Sign in to your own account and connect. An enforcement message is the warning.
  • The basics. Picture through its own HDMI port, a disc in the Series X, fan noise during a game, and both controller sticks.

What the BiNew console report covers

  • Identity. Model, edition and serial, matched to the box and the listing.
  • Accounts and bans. Whether the previous owner's account is gone, and whether the console could connect online on the inspection date.
  • Function. Picture, disc drive, USB ports, Wi-Fi, and every controller included, stick drift too.
  • Heat and noise. Fan sound and behavior while a game runs.
  • Condition and contents. Photos of every side, visible signs of liquid or opening, and the accessories compared with the listing.

The report describes the console on the day it is inspected, and it stays with iPoint until handover.

What the seller brings

  • The console, signed out of their account with their profile removed.
  • Every controller, cable and stand in the listing. For a Switch, the dock, its charger and the Joy-Con grip.
  • The box, any games in the deal, and proof of purchase if they have it.
