3 steps

Set up in a minute

  1. Search on leboncoin, sort by newest

    Shape a console search on leboncoin

    Search for one machine, written the way sellers write it: „PS5 digital“, „Series S“, „Switch Lite“. Stay in the consoles category, set a lower and upper price, enter your town with a radius you would actually travel to test it, and pick Particulier if you want private sellers only. Then order the results by most recent.

    Paste that results link into MXSender

    Copy the address bar and add the link in MXSender, choosing Telegram as the channel. Email is offered on the same screen should you want both. Free covers one search, looked at every 30 minutes.

  3. New listings land in your Telegram

    Read the card when it appears

    A new match shows up as a card with the seller’s first photo, the ad title, the price and a button to the listing. Each search has its own hashtag, so a Switch hunt and a PS5 hunt can share one chat; mute a search and its cards come in silently.

Why do French console packs disappear by evening?

Because the seller is not optimising for price. Someone moving flat or giving up gaming lists the whole thing, „pack“ with two manettes and a box of games, at roughly what a bare console fetches, then picks the first person who sounds reliable.

You want to be that person. Reading a Telegram card on the bus and replying with a concrete offer — a time, cash on pick-up, a quick test — beats a better message sent three hours later.

Inspection list for a used PS5, Xbox Series or Switch

Play for a few minutes rather than watching it boot. Push each stick gently and let go: if the cursor keeps creeping, that controller has drift. Listen to the fan once it is warm, try every HDMI and USB port, and look at the screws for signs it has been opened.

Ask the seller to sign out of their account and remove the console as their primary one before you leave, otherwise downloads and online play can be tied to them. A facture helps show where it came from. Meet, test, then pay; do not send a deposit to a stranger for hardware you have not seen.

Choosing the edition before you choose the price

Disc or digital, Series X or Series S, OLED or original Switch: these differ enough in value that one combined search gives you a muddled price range. Split them, set a ceiling for each, and the cards stay relevant.

If nothing arrives for a week, widen the radius before you raise the budget; many good packs sit just outside the town you typed.

leboncoin’s saved alert and what Telegram adds

leboncoin lets you save a search and be told about new ads, and that works for many people. MXSender gives you a choice of channel and check interval, a photo card per ad, forwarding to a friend in one tap, and the same chat on your phone and your laptop.

Free checks one search every 30 minutes. Starter at $5.99 handles five searches every 10 minutes. Pro at $14.99 handles twenty with the fastest checks. Telegram and email come with every plan.

❓Frequently asked questions

Do I need to speak French to use this?

No. You build the search on leboncoin, and the card simply repeats the seller’s own title and price.

Will the first message dump every console already listed?

No. The first check only records what is there; you hear about ads that appear after that.

Can one chat follow several consoles?

Yes. Each search is tagged with its own hashtag, and Starter allows five searches, Pro twenty.

What if the seller only offers shipping?

Use the payment and delivery option offered on the platform rather than paying a stranger directly.

Can I stop the alerts once I have bought one?

Pause or delete the search in MXSender and the cards stop.
