Nearly 140,000 PlayStation 5 consoles have been sold by re-sellers on StockX, a popular shoe resale website

Over half a year after the launch of the PlayStation 5, the resale market for Sony's hit new game console remains strong. As of Tuesday morning, people were paying just shy of $800 for the $500 version of the console . Those ongoing sales represent a small portion of the nearly 140,000 PlayStation 5 consoles that have been re-sold just through StockX, the company told Insider. The average resale price for the $500 PlayStation 5 model is $800, and the $400 model averages $741 at resale, StockX said. "Across all domestic and international versions (US, UK, and EU), the two PlayStation 5 consoles saw their highest average prices during Cyber Weekend," a StockX representative told Insider. "Since Cyber Weekend, we've seen prices decline in response to increased supply from the brands, and the consoles are now selling for considerably less than their holiday peak." Resellers have dominated the PlayStation 5 market from day one: Some used that enables them to skip digital lines, and some employ more traditional methods for securing hard to find items. Either way, resellers have assuredly contributed to the ongoing PS5 supply issues. Sony's PlayStation 5 has been in short supply since launch in November 2020
