The first months of the New Year can be tough on your wallet. Post-Christmas can be an extremely tight time of year financially. In fact, research shows that by January 21, the average Brit has run out of spending money. If you’re finding it tricky to make ends meet through the winter, there could be a simple solution hiding tucked away in the back of your cupboard.
Sam Wilson, director at Gadget GoGo, says millions of households are unknowingly sitting on hundreds of pounds’ worth of unused tech during what is often the tightest month of the year. He said: « Many households are sitting on tech worth hundreds. Most people don’t realise just how much value is locked in the devices they no longer use. Selling now can mean avoiding overdraft fees or clearing credit cards.”
PlayStations
With newer models sweeping the market, old game systems are often boxed up and forgotten about but they could be worth more than you think.
A working PS4 or Xbox One can still sell for £100–£150 or more if bundled with games and accessories.
Sam said: “They’re still hugely popular with buyers looking for cheaper alternatives – and if you’ve kept the box, even better.”
