What to lookout for when Buying a USED Xbox Series X from places like Facebook Marketplace or eBay in 2026 & Beyond
Now I've been looking into buying myself a Galaxy Black 2TB Xbox Series X (Now Discontinued) for a LOOOOONG while... I've been poking/looking on Facebook Marketplace for one, but I've wanted to be on the safer side and do my research, ESPECIALLY when buying a USED Series X (Xbox) or even Xbox One X (All Special Editions)...
How can I tell if a Marketplace listing is Legit or a Scam, what should I be looking out for? Seller Stars? or How well the seller Describes the Listing of the Xbox Console, or the Amount of Pictures taken to "Document" the Xbox Console?
I found two,
Xbox Series X #1: "New"
Seller Says: : "Brand new never used Xbox Series X Galaxy Black 2TB Special Edition",
with only two Pictures of the Box with the Original Seal still intact
Asking $650 USD
Xbox Series X #2: "Used"
Seller Says: "Got the Xbox series X 2 years ago when they first came out November 2024. Got the elite controller last year November 2025( only used for less then 5 mins) mainly play on the regular controller, I’m tryna get rid of both as a bundle and comes with 2TB expansion so overall 4TB total. 2TB internal and 2TB external. Local pickup Only".
Asking $600 USD
