The Xbox One X (not the Series X) is a confused beast. Microsoft’s naming scheme was terrible, but the console is fantastic. It plays games in native 4K and has a 4K Blu-ray player.
Your biggest challenge: Ensuring the pawn broker knows this is the “One X” (Native 4K) and not the cheaper “One S” (Upscaled 4K).
2026 Market Snapshot: Xbox One X Pawn Prices
| Model | Typical Offer Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Xbox One X (1TB) | $100 - $160 | Solid value due to 4K capability. |
| Project Scorpio Edition | $120 - $170 | Limited launch edition, higher collector appeal. |
| Xbox One S (Comparison) | $60 - $90 | Significantly weaker / cheaper. |
| Xbox Series S (Comparison) | $100 - $150 | Similar price, but next-gen (no disc drive). |
* Prices are estimates and actual pawn values may vary based on device condition, market demand, and other factors
”One X” vs “One S”: The $50 Conversation
When you put it on the counter, it looks like a black Xbox.
- One S: White (usually), lighter, black circle vent on top. (Worth ~$70)
- One X: Matte Black (usually), heavy dense brick, no top vent. (Worth ~$130)
The Script: “Just to be clear, this is the One X, not the One S. It does native 4K gaming and has the liquid cooling vapor chamber. It’s much more valuable than the S.”
The 4K Blu-ray Advantage
The One X has a feature even the PS4 Pro lacks: a 4K UHD Blu-ray player. If the pawn shop sells movies, mention this. It makes the console a high-end media player, not just a game box.
Detailed Condition Grading: The “Brick” Assessment
The One X is dense and heavy. Shops judge it by its “tank-like” build.
| Grade | Description | Typical Offer | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| A (Scorpio) | Project Scorpio Edition. Vertical stand included. Zero scratches. | $130 - $170 | Vertical stand adds $10 value |
| B (Standard) | Standard Matte Black. Fully functional 4K player. Original controller. | $100 - $140 | Most common grade |
| C (Worn) | Deep scratches on matte casing. Controller rubber worn. | $80 - $110 | Functionality is king |
| D (HDMI Fail) | No video output or 'Green Screen of Death'. | $30 - $50 | Parts only (Common repair) |

The HDD Failure: The One X hard drives are prone to failure (slow boots, error E105). Boot it up completely before you go. If it hangs on the green screen, they won’t buy it.
Negotiation Scripts: The Name Game
Microsoft’s names are confusing. Use that to your advantage by being the expert.
Scenario 1: The “One S” Mistake
Them: “I can do $70. That’s what Xbox Ones go for.” You: “I think you might be pricing this as an Xbox One S. This is the One X. Feel how heavy it is? It’s the 4K model that plays Red Dead Redemption 2 in Native 4K. It sells for double the price of the S. I need a One X offer, which is usually around $130.”
Scenario 2: The “Series S” Comparison
Them: “The new Series S is digital, but it’s new generation for $200. Why would I pay $120 for this old one?” You: “The Series S has no disc drive. This One X has a 4K Blu-ray drive, which actually makes it better for home theater setups than the Series S. Plus, this has 1TB storage, Series S only has 500GB. People still specifically hunt for the One X for the disc drive.”
Scenario 3: The “Controller” Batteries
Them: “This controller has no batteries? I can’t test it. -$10.” You: “Xbox controllers use AAs. I brought a fresh pair right here to show you it works perfectly. Let’s pop them in.” (Always bring batteries!)
Common Scams & Pitfalls to Avoid
- The “HDMI In” Trick: The One X has two HDMI ports. One is “In” (Cable box), one is “Out” (TV). Scammy shops plug into “In”, get no picture, and say “It’s broken, $20 for parts.” Make sure they plug into the Out port (closest to power).
- The “Scorpio” Ignorance: If you have the “Project Scorpio” edition (green text on console), don’t let them treat it as standard. It’s a limited edition. Demand the top of the price range.
Data Sources and Methodology
Our Xbox One X pawn value data is specific and separated:
- Data Source: 40 verified quotes collected from Q4 2025 to Q1 2026.
- Distinction: We rigorously separate “One X” data from “One S” and “Series X” data to ensure accuracy.
- Market Context: The One X is currently the “value king” for physical game collectors, maintaining its price better than the base Xbox One.
Pre-Pawn Checklist: The Heavyweight Check
- Weight Check: Pick it up. Does it feel like a solid brick? Good.
- Disc Drive Test: The One X plays 4K Blu-rays. Test a movie disc if you have one; it’s a huge selling point.
- HDMI Port Inspection: Look at the HDMI-OUT port on the back. Is the plastic inside broken? This is common. If it’s solid, point it out.
- Reset & Keep Games: External hard drives work on the One X, but shops won’t pay for your digital games. Factory reset is mandatory (
Settings>System>Console Info>Reset). - Pack AA Batteries: Don’t let a $1 pair of batteries cost you a sale.
Have the newer tower model? That’s the Series X. Check our Series X Guide.

How We Calculate Pawn Values
Our price ranges are derived from publicly available data sources, including advertised pawn shop quotes, completed marketplace transactions, and community-reported offers. We apply consistent data processing methods:

- Outlier handling using winsorization or Tukey IQR methods
- Aggregation into condition buckets (A/B/C) with 20–80 percentile bands
Each guide includes a Batch ID and links to a downloadable sample CSV for transparency. For complete details on our methodology, data sources, and refresh cadence, see our full Methodology page .
FAQ
How much is an Xbox One X worth?
$100–$160. It's the most powerful last-gen console, so it beats the One S and PS4 Slim.
Is this the same as the Series X?
NO! The Series X is the new pillar/fridge style. The One X is the flat, dense brick. Series X is worth double.
Does the Project Scorpio edition matter?
To collectors, yes. To pawn shops? Maybe $10 extra for the cool factor.
