Check before you pay

Power it on and play a game for a few minutes; listen for loud fan noise or disc-drive grinding.
Check that the console is not banned from online play and that the seller signed out of their account.
Test every controller: stick drift is the most common fault.
Look at the serial number sticker and screws for signs it was opened or repaired.
Ask what is included: cables, controllers, stand, and any games or subscriptions.
