I’m new to buying used consoles and I want some solid tips on avoiding scams when I’m picking up a PS4 Pro. What should I check for to ensure I’m getting a good deal and that the console is in great condition?

Even with a PS4 Pro, you can find good deals. Just be sure to check all the details like the condition and whether it’s been refurbished. If it’s still sealed, that’s a great sign, but remember that finding a sealed Pro can be tough since it’s an older model. If they seem iffy or pushy, trust your gut and walk away.
Honestly, why not just go for a PS5? The price difference isn’t that significant if you’re already considering spending on a Pro. A used PS5 might still be more expensive, but at least you’ll have a more up-to-date system that could offer a better gaming experience. But I get it if you want something more budget-friendly.
Always check if the seller has a solid reputation; look for ratings and feedback. If they’re a new seller with no ratings, that’s a definite red flag. Also, make sure the box seal is intact. There should be a circular tab sticker on the box. When I bought my PS4 Pro, I carefully peeled off that sticker, which confirmed it was new. If you’re meeting in person, be cautious. Choosing a shipping option might be safer as you can file a complaint or get a refund if something goes wrong.
