Buy PS5: Dust off guaranteed supplies – from these retailers

This is how there is guaranteed replenishment: The guaranteed replenishment is only possible via third-party dealers. You can buy consoles there at more expensive prices, but they are available immediately. This is done via eBay or eBay classifieds, among other things. But there are also large providers who have permanent supplies.

These are the best dealers: Here we list some platforms where you are guaranteed to get the PS5. In addition, there are the prices and important information about the dealer:

• Ebay*: On eBay you can choose between tons of offers. There are also many dealers who even offer a right of return. You also benefit from eBay buyer protection, which gives you your money back if the goods don’t arrive. The prices here are around 700 euros for a disc edition.
• StockX*: Here you can buy all kinds of rare things. So you will find limited shoes or clothing here, but also the PS5. The console costs around 650 euros in the Disc Edition. The PS5 will be sent to StockX by the seller, who will check the goods and then send them to you. Fraud is therefore excluded here.
• AsGoodAsNew*: This dealer offers tested second-hand goods. So here you can get hold of a used PS5, but it has a guarantee. You can also make use of the right of return if the console is not satisfactory. The Disc Edition is available from 689 euros.
• eBay Classifieds: Used and new consoles are offered by private individuals on the platform. Unfortunately, many consoles that have been snatched up by scalpers from official drops also end up here. But in most cases you can also pick up the console locally and convince yourself of the functionality. The prices vary greatly. You can get cheap deals for 550 euros, but most consoles are traded for 600 to 700 euros.

Buy PS5: Dangers when buying from third parties – you have to be careful here

You have to note that: There are some dangers when buying through third-party providers. This applies in particular to purchases from private individuals. Merchants such as StockX or AsGoodAsNew are much safer there and you don’t have to worry about scammers.

Be sure to check whether you can choose secure payment methods. For example, on eBay Classifieds, only pay with PayPal (buyer protection) or the payment method from the platform itself. Bank transfer or PayPal’s “Friends and Family” function are insecure and you cannot get your money back if something is wrong with the console.
