Pawn an Xbox

Current Xbox consoles resell easily, so most pawn shops lend on them. Series X gets better offers than Series S; older models get much less.

We do not guess resale prices. Check recent sold listings for the same model and condition, then type the figure.

Scenarios, not offers. Each shop sets its own percentage; the charge column is the maximum your state allows.

How pawn shops value an Xbox

  • Model and storage size are checked against the serial number.
  • The console is tested with a controller and a game or app.
  • Accessories in good condition add a little.
  • Consoles still tied to an account are refused until you sign out.

What to bring

  • A government-issued photo ID.
  • Power cable, HDMI cable and a controller.
  • The box, if you have it.

Reset the console to factory settings at home. The same applies to other consoles: see PS5 and Nintendo Switch.

How much of the value will they lend?

There is no standard percentage. FirstCash, which runs Cash America, First Cash and other pawn chains, says in its annual report that the loan "typically is based on a percentage of the estimated sale value of the collateral", that it does not use a standard or mandated percentage, and that store employees set it item by item (FirstCash 2012 Form 10-K). That is why offers for the same item vary from shop to shop. The calculator above shows scenarios so you can compare offers you get.

What the loan costs

The charge is set by state law, whatever you pawn. Check the maximum for your state and amount:
