3 steps

Set up in a minute

Search on willhaben, sort by newest

Narrow willhaben down to the console you want

In the Marktplatz section of willhaben, open the category for games and consoles and type the exact machine into the search box, written the way sellers title their ads: PS5 Slim, Xbox Series S, Switch OLED. Set a price range in euro, pick your Bundesland and the districts you would actually drive to for a pick-up with a test, then order the results so the newest ads come first.

Disc or Digital Edition? Getting the right PS5 first

A PlayStation 5 with a disc drive and the Digital Edition share a thumbnail silhouette but not a price. Ask MXSender to watch one search per edition, each with a ceiling that makes sense for that version, and the chat stays a list of real candidates rather than a pile of near-misses.

The same logic splits Xbox Series X from Series S, and a Switch OLED from the original model or a Lite.

Why a moving-house bundle in Salzburg rarely lasts the evening

Most of the attractive console ads in Austria are not single machines. They are someone clearing out a whole setup at once, often because of a move or a new baby: the console, a spare controller, a headset and a box of games, priced to go in one handover.

Ads like that pile up messages. Being the person who writes early, proposes a time for collection and mentions paying cash on the spot gives you a real head start over people who send a lone question hours later.

Reading a console card before you message the seller

The photo often tells you more than the title: whether the original box is there, how many controllers are in the shot, whether game cases are stacked beside it. With the price printed right under it, you can decide in a glance whether the ad deserves a reply.

If a friend knows Xbox hardware better than you, forward the card. Photo and link travel together, and the chat is the same on laptop and phone.

A test at the TV: stick drift, fan noise, account sign-out

Meet where there is a screen and let a game run for a while. Listen for a fan that roars, and roll both sticks slowly in every direction to spot drift, a known wear issue on DualSense pads and Joy-Cons. The seller should sign out of their PlayStation or Xbox account in front of you and stop using the machine as their primary console or home Xbox, ideally with a factory reset while you watch.

A Rechnung, the shop invoice, matters on recent hardware: it proves the remaining warranty and that the unit was bought, not lifted. Pay cash when you collect it and send no money in advance to a stranger. For a shipped console, use the payment option willhaben offers itself instead of a private bank transfer.

❓Frequently asked questions

What does a plan cost if I want PS5 and Switch together?

Two searches need Starter at 5.99 dollars, which gives five searches every 10 minutes. Pro at 14.99 gives twenty searches and the fastest checks. Telegram is included in every plan.

Can I keep willhaben's own Suchagent running?

Yes. It is willhaben's saved search and works independently; our Telegram cards simply run next to it.

Will the chat fill with every console already listed?

No. What is online when you add the search counts as known. Only ads that appear afterwards send a card.

Do dealer ads come through as well?

Only if your willhaben results show them. Limit the list to private sellers there, and dealers stay out of the chat.

Do I need to log in to willhaben?

Not for the alerts. You only sign in to willhaben when you want to contact a seller.
