    Do you know how can I exchange or sell my console? I have 2 consoles and I want to exchange or sell it as I want to buy PS4. I had a plan to buy PS3 but a friend of mine asked me to buy PS4 as it is the latest one. If anyone knows a way to exchange or sell console then please let me know.

    Put it on Internet. There are a lot of good sites to sell your stuff. If there is a local Facebook page or something similar (we have one in my area) you could try it!
    Also often Gamestops and similar shops make offer where you trade your old console and games for something new. Plenty of ways!

    Yep, plenty of ways. First, ask your friends since it's the easiest and most convenient way then do as Xilkozuf said.

    Try online websites like Ebay, Usell (it's a trade-in program), Amazon Marketplace and much more. List the console on them and you will get people calling you pretty fast.

    Or simply walk to your local Gamestop store and trade it in there. I don't think you should have problems selling the PS3. I sold my old Xbox 360 (had two) and a guy bought it within 2 days of me putting up an ad. Many people still enjoy the older consoles.

    I would suggest either bidding it on the internet, going to some type of pawnshop to sell if or see if your local game store my want it. If none work then simply have a yard sell or trade it off to one of your friends who may not have one.

    Craigslist or the equivalent in your country is probably your best bet since eBay is a little bit iffy with cheaper products and it's not as direct.

    Ebay seems to be a good option. You can also buy the Amazon seller membership. And sell through the FBA system. Most likely even the craiglist will work too. I suggest finding such local options if possible. That can get you started for the sales.

    There are several options out there in terms of online places to go, but I would look around because they tend to vary quite a bit with how much they can offer and for which devices.

    I think OLX is the best website to sell and buy consoles. I use to buy and sell online. It does not take that much time to sell or buy. Your products can get more visibility and you can get better prices.

    Problem is nobody is looking for the xbox and the PS on OLX. That marketplace is for other things usually. Though you can list it. But the consoles are better be resold on the ebay or some place like Amazon. Because that would be much better option for anyone who wants to have better warranty or support on technical side.

    I think the best place to advertise would be through the internet. You will be sure to find many people whom you will sell to/ exchange with.

    Ebay and recent 2buy website seems to be a good place for selling them. Also craiglist listing can be another good option to sell stuff.

    Post on market apps or websites like Lazada, Shoppe, Amazon or in Facebook. For sure in a few minutes you'll have a buyer for your consoles.

    I feel like ebay is great platform to do that. You can also try your friends or something.

    Although the fees may cut deep into your earnings though. I heard they increased the fees.

    The best way to sell anything is to sell them online. You can sell your consoles to your friends and family too. The best way to sell online is to sell them on some websites like amazon or ebay.

    I think ebay and the amazon are two places where people tend to sell things online. And for them it definitely works out from what I have seen so far.
