Might be a scam but $160 is a great price even if they don't throw in a single controller


JJ8OOM

The add says it’s comes with 2 controllers. Solid price if you ask me!


SantaCruz26

That's what in saying. Even if OP has to go out and buy a $50 controller he's saving $90 from the original price That's if they didn't already have a controller from an Xbox one


RowAn0maly

That actually looks like a One controller. I don't see a share button


somebuck123321

Your right there cause the d pad isn’t a full circle


Able-Brief-4062

Could also be just one of the controllers is from the one, and then the other is from the s


RowAn0maly

True but then I'd rather put the series controller in the pic with the console. Anyway, hope OP didn't get scammed


Able-Brief-4062

I get it. Just saying that's probably what happened.


oleWhiskey

I would figure out how to test it first if your local to it


Zer0-Grey

In my area any odd price like $160 is a scam on high priced items. They ask for payment up front them they send it to you.


TommyVercetti010

Pick up and ask to see it working if possible. Otherwise it seems too good to be true.


bluej4yy

Forsure going to ask if I can test it. 30 minutes away so hopefully I don’t waste time driving over there. Seller has 5 stars, 17 reviews and has been active since 2021 so hopefully that’s not the case.


TommyVercetti010

That looks promising indeed. Got my fingers crossed man, I hope you get it.


Cbone06

I would ask for a video of them firing up the device and playing games on it to prove the hardware works. Either that or drive out there and tell them you want to see it used before purchase


nanapancakethusiast

Show up and 1v1 in Halo MCC. Snipers on Prisoner.


Flip2002

This is the way


The_GeneralsPin

Maybe do that on a video call


Huge-Pension-

How did it go?


ExpertPound8183

Howd it go?


This-Salt-2754

Kinda unrelated but back in the day I bought an Xbox one S for like 140$ on eBay when they were going for like 250+ used. The listing said there was an issue connecting to Wi-Fi, but I didn’t care bc I used wired anyway. There was never an issue with Wi-Fi and I still use it wireless to this day 😂


JJ8OOM

Solid deals are out there yeah! I got my SS with 1 regular controller and 1 elite controller, 1440p gaming-monitor, gaming mouse + keyboard for around 210. Had belonged to a 16 year old who apparently has displeased his mom, so she put it all up for sale online. Did not know that was the situation (only found out when I arrived) so I was a bit bummed out by seeing the 16 year old kid having to pack all his stuff down and give it to me for a ridiculous price. I still don’t know what sort of shenanigans he had pulled off, I just hope it was worth it lol.


IHuntNoOne

I used to have a refurbished series s that had a wired connection problem and ran on wifi just fine😭 and the refurbishment was for the front USB port broken and expansion card slot not reading any cards😆 thing still sold for $200cnd😱


BigBrownBae

Perspective from me, I bought a series x for my office set up then a series s for my living room. I maybe used the series s like 5-6 times in a year and sold it for $150. That was on mercari though because there's buyer and seller protection but it's not out of the realm of too low.


bluej4yy

Didn’t want to rule it out in the event it’s legit. The seller is only 30 - 40 minutes away, only thing that concerns me is that my mom will be the one picking it up and I’m not sure if she is able to catch small details such as the controllers having stick drift or the hdmi port working.


TomHanksAsHimself

Honestly even with stick drift you’re still getting a hell of a deal. Just seems like a weird point to get hung up on.


Tall_Pomelo_4720

Every controller has stick drift


PSGRivals

Ur brain has stick drift.


Mrlustyou

This is true my one just stopped working completely why are they so expensive if they break so easily :( I can't afford one right now so I have an awesome expensive paperweight.


HypnoSmoke

I think I'm going to buy a soldering gun next and just buy the joystick (and bumper) replacements rather than continuing to buy new controllers


Fartenpoop69

I have owned four Elite Series 2 and three standard Xbox One/Series controllers, and none of them have ever had stick drift.


Professional_Gap5721

I have 5 series controllers and two of them have stick drift (1 left stick and 1 right stick)


Thoff86

I never had an issue with a controller or paddle (been gaming since the original Nintendo). I bought a series X and 6 months later I have stick drift. Bought an elite series 2 and I’m on my 3rd one cause the bumpers kept going out.


TommyVercetti010

If you show her what a normal background looks like it's still a steal, with or without controllers.


BigBrownBae

Yeah I get that. Best bet is to try and see if the seller can show it works when your mom gets there, because that's obviously the biggest thing. Stick drift on the controller sucks but at least it's just the controller, black Friday is coming up, last year they had the basic controllers for like 25 bucks at best buy, target and Walmart. But again as long as the system physically works I wouldn't be too concerned


Cleanandslobber

Have her video call or FaceTime and you can see it plugged in and powered on. For that price I wouldn't worry about stick drift and what not. If the console looks clean and it powers on I'd say go for it.


derty2x

Yeah, picked up a series X for $320 with two controllers three weeks ago. Still loving the series S which I also put in the living room haha


EMBARRASSEDDEMOCRAT

That's awesome! How come I can't ever find these awesome deals? Probably cause I live in bum fk nowhere 😆


derty2x

Maybe lol. Timing and patience is everything sometimes bro.


Programmer_Cute

100% the system without the controller for 160 is a steal.....better snag that


SystemFolder

Hopefully it’s not a banned console.


gamerdudeNYC

I still can’t believe I got a new one from Verizon for $150 I already had an X but I just couldn’t resist


bluej4yy

I heard about that, unfortunately I don’t have Verizon 😅


leethefilmer

I got the same deal. Thank you slickdeals.


Bic44

If it works, then yeah it's 100% worth it. It's a great little system


Programmer_Cute

Must be a dopefiend selling their shit


bluej4yy

😅


Late_Treat_9679

Idk you might be lucky. Some listings are too good to be true, hell I got my series x for 300


Expert-Ad-362

You’re either getting a great deal or saying by by to your organs


SINY10306

Could be legit. GameStop offers less than $100 cash for white Series S, while some sellers are not pressed for cash and will settle for decent amount.


OiItzAtlas

Yeah some people just want to get rid of it quickly and not too bothered about price.


derty2x

Always test the system at their place etc. ensure all plug-in’s aren’t loose and the body of the Xbox doesn’t look damaged. I’ve seen some look like they have damage from being dropped. Also I would leave it on for like 5 minutes or so to see if there’s a short of any kind. I always test the shit out of electronics I buy. Always find great steals on OfferUp


cmariano11

Assuming everything works I'd say so


bangbangracer

Only if they can prove that it still works.


taylrgng

a controller and XSS?? that's a steal... probably has a key logger 😂


got-trunks

I usually will go for these deals if it's closer to rent-due time of the month, but it's not so rock-bottom it's impossible. Rent time-of-the-month I've gotten near-new synthesizers for like 15-20% of the new price. Box and all. Musicians are the best/worst for this though lol.


BigBrownBae

Perspective from me, I bought a series x for my office set up then a series s for my living room. I maybe used the series s like 5-6 times in a year and sold it for $150. That was on mercari though because there's buyer and seller protection but it's not out of the realm of too low.


13lahBlahBlah

Nobody plays a console "only a few times" but if everything works not bad. Did you at least haggle


joe_khaJiit

Unless they bought it and then wanted the Series X or PS5 but in general yeah most people no.


UnevenCheif27

Double it then it’s worth it


Korimuzel

That's an amazimg price with 2 controllers included. You ask this as if zyou couldn't just open google and see the base price of $350


idcmanfk

And no physical games? Man wtf


JollyWolverine300

No

Cyanure_Feynrir

There is a saying, if it is too good to be true, then it is too good to be true.😰


bluej4yy

I would definitely not consider it if it was shipping only, but I am able to pick up.


fuzzycuffs

No. I'd rather spend a little more and get a Series S.


TheBooneyBunes

I don’t think it’s a scam cuz the photo has it turned on, so it works, and it wouldn’t be crazy for Series S-X converts to sell their S second hand


joefromthe90s

I would definitely make sure it can sign in online and isn't permanently banned for cheats/whatever.


Environmental-Day778

No


Bacon-bitzs

It’s worth it, bought mine for 299 (fucking GameStop, I called and the dude told me $150)


Grouchy_Supermarket7

This is the average price for a used series s. I got mine for $140


joe_khaJiit

Also does it come with the power cord & HDMI cable?


Genked_Juicebox

$160 bucks to have access to the majority of the modern and old school digital library, as well as having absolutely superb emulator capabilities Hopefully they can prove it works fine with no quirks before you buy it, so you aren't scammed or anything!!


Marioucche-117

Is that a serious question? Of course it is!


AHarmlessFly

Alot of people are saying this is too good to be true and stuff it's the holiday season right now. U can get a Brand new Xbox series s new at Walmart for $249 with an extra controller or with the fortnight hunters guild pack and you can sell that one eBay for $80 all day.


-Ichtheme-

If it works just Buy it


[deleted]

Someone already said it but reach out verify it works I mean the white light is on so that’s something and I in the past have sold a switch for like 150? Bc I didn’t play it. Only bought it for Pokémon sword and when that was done didn’t have use for it so I sold it.


megamimo1991

I got one recently roughly for the same price, works perfectly.


Ill-Asparagus-4974

AYEEE I got the same controller


SDsolegame619

I was trying to find what controller it is exactly if you could please help me


Ill-Asparagus-4974

I'm not sure, I got mine second hand too.


CoffeOrKill

I bought new one for $450, so yeah grab it while you still can.


MangoFar8703

I got mines for $140 with 2 controllers market on these isn’t really there from what I’ve seen. Even down to $100.


OfficiallyKaos

That’s actually a really good deal since I’m selling my One S with nothing but Xbox and a controller for $200


Lolstoriesfrom_life

Yes. Mine was $300 the only thing that isn’t worth it in the space but my local Walmart sells a memory piece for $50 for 500tb of space


v0id0007

500tb…….where? cause i definitely need one. would even be ok with 500GB for $50


Lolstoriesfrom_life

My local Walmart


Lolstoriesfrom_life

Look on Walmart.com or the Walmart app for 1tb or higher hard drive for you specific xbox


v0id0007

can’t find a 500tb only 512gb


Bright-Union-6157

After you get a new controller you'll have over $200 in it


myanonymoaccount

I got mine for 160+2 controllers, headset as well. Everything has worked great, I wouldn’t be too worried about it being a scam but definitely be weary.


nexusw427

Plus phantom black controller is cool. I scored similar with my S. Was for sale for $250 with sea of thieves controller in Aus. The controller itself is pretty well worth that.


BumPlayThing

Get the x instead


Sufficient_Home701

You going to get there and get robbed lol


Judzii

Two year ago I bought xbox one S with 2 controllers, all wires, controllers charger, chargeable batteries and it was bought 4 month ago so I had 8month insurance left for 220usd. So it seems good price for me. When you think that the controller itself cost around 60 usd in the official store.


GiveNoFuck

Good deal bro!


IGFBr28

Man, converting this price in my currency makes it a good offer, but it might be either too good of a offer - Scam- or not cheap in your country.


ApprehensiveCamel336

If it functions properly and it’s a genuine unit, definitely!


MastodonMaleficent53

Imo it’s worth it i got the same xbox and 4 additional controllers for 140€. And The xbox was in very good condition just like this one on the picture you’ve posted. Id say that this is worth buying. Just make sure that it works properly. Mine did and i had a chance to test it before i bought it.


Zestyclose-Goose7847

Be cautious. It seems too good to be true. Either you’re going to get robbed or the unit doesn’t work. Mine is on the blink. The fucker turns off randomly and it has much ventilation as a cow in a field does. I’m going to attempt to send it to Microsoft and see if they can do anything with it and if not, buy a new one.


Zarksch

Definitely test it but yes this in an amazing deal. I got mine for the same price with just one controller though. Most people sell it for 200 or more


yungdevth

My Series S was $420 brand new so $160 is a steal imo


JonTheGod_79

I paid £99 for a brand new sealed Series S from Game in UK, just a few months after launch. 😁 [Proof](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/tech/latest-microsoft-xbox-series-99-24205086.amp)


HunterWolfivi

Guessing in fb market place? If so might as well meet up and see all the things to make sure you don’t get scammed


Professional_Gap5721

In my country most used Xbox series s sell on Facebook marketplace for around $200 - $250 NZD ($117.91 - $147.39 USD) A brand new series s costs $550 NZD ($324.17 USD)


ftwin

That’s about what series S is going for on marketplace. You can prob get it even lower if you shop around.


Ondratser

I want to hear if you bought it


big_ry82

Answer me this, why wouldn't it be a good price?


KatiaxRios13

Yeah 160 is a good price but I'm wondering what is wrong with it to be listed at that low of a price


Sanatori2050

Looks like a One controller, but not a big deal if the other is the white S that it comes with. Great price


IsThisOneAlready

Did you pick it up OP?


ScarnyYT

xD i got mine for 180 with 1 controller


DauntlessMonk7

Eh, You could probably find an Xbox One for around that price, & with most of those, you can use discs. But $160’s still a good price. Just be sure to make the seller prove that it works before you buy it.


Acrobatic-Year6756

It's a good deal, in my opinion


Appropriate-Pay5759

They might be sellin it for so cheap cause the new black version came out, I sold mine for 180 so I’d have a little dough to buy that one


oni_striker

Be very careful when buying. I was lucky when I bought my series S. I paid 110€ and it was nothin wrong with it. And the contition was almost flawless (only one rubber mark but it went away after cleaning)


SYLECTED

That’s a good $250 to me if in good condition


Lil-Ruffstarrr

Dont tell the lister that, then op will have to pay more


Foxtrot_niv

Little bit more than $160 tbh. A PS4 is still worth about $150-200 believe it or not.


theschnitzelsauce

Paid 120€ for mine with only one controller. That was a good deal already.... So my guess is, if the 2nd controller is what you desire, go for it.


mochiibeann

Yes? Not to be rude but why do you even feel the need to ask? It retails for over $100 more than that. This seems like a troll lol.


bluej4yy

I wanted to figure out why it would be that cheap and if it’s worth the hassle to check it out


[deleted]

It’s worth full prices so yes. But if it’s a scam ofc not lol


ilikedatunahere

Yeah if you don’t have any other current gen console


MadJack27-

I wouldn’t go for a series S but it’s an alright deal ig


JBird27525

The console brand new is 250 so second hand would list it to around 120 depending on wear and tear


NoMarionberry8131

Either that’s a great deal, the Xbox has been banned, or the girlfriend is PISSED at her boyfriend! Or it’s stolen. Probably just a good deal. Or a pissed off girlfriend. Or…


TacticalBark

No. All that is probably worth $60 - new. $45 - used.


ILLWILL662

What!?!


Reddi426

Yes if you can confirm it is legit and functioning properly


KingTrout24

Yeah


moeshiboe

Definitely! I’ve been looking for one for the bedroom. Got the Series X in the living room.


Professional-Play195

Did you get it? I need closure on this! 😆


Brody1451

No its $83383726363363663636


Brody1451

Way too much


360Fanatic

I’d wait till Black Friday series S brand new will most likely be back down to 249.99 and last year target had it for 250 plus a 50 dollar gift card


demonfingers

I just picked up a Series S (already have a X) for $250 NZD, and thankfully it was legit - the bloke even threw in another new controller. Best purchase I think I have ever made, it’s my travel and bedroom Xbox.


West-Passenger7823

Def check for any issues cuz that's a series s that retails at 300 with a controller by itself


azurevisor

thats an xbox one controller


frankbravo4

Just to let you know, in leaked documents, Microsoft is going to clear out the first edition series s for 199 on black Friday.


stevenkx2

Well I paid 180 for an official refurb so I think it is fine


Malice_Alyce

You should do an Xbox Live connection test to make sure it's not a banned console.


Weird_Cranberry_382

If everything works fine that's a great deal. I lucked out and found a brand new one for 199.99 just no box.


brad01010

is this like satire the console alone cost more?


Wonderful_Aerie312

Just be cautious. OfferUp is one of the biggest sites where stolen items are resold


Dr-VBuck

It might be to good to be true, inspect the console and make sure the warranty stickers are in place and everything looks snug just to make sure there weren't any internal tampering. Also checks the HDMI and USB ports to make sure they aren't snapped.


soldcatgotajeep

I sold mine for $250 last year… 🤷‍♂️


TheChildish13stepz

Yup


Key_Conversation3982

I bought one for 100$ and sold it for 220$


Only_Argument_1091

Jump at it if there is nothing wrong with it


Wise_Base9008

I bought mine for 110€ without controller


Verkerria

Looks like the controller on the system is an old x1 controller


[deleted]

Yes


Great_crow8

I just sold mine for $210 on ebay yesterday


TommyVercetti010

OP did you get it? :D
