People would still pay you a decent amount for that on eBay. 100% profit for you if it was a freebie to start with…  But not now it’s covered in potato peelings.

PS your first post on here might have instead benefitted from being “I’m having issues with my Sonos One. Any ideas?”

Thanks Rhonny,

I wouldn’t have the heart to inflict such frustration on any other.

I had a fleeting thought that I might still yet retrieve it from the bin and put a sledgehammer through it, but such an action might cause me physical injury, as well.

Best to leave it in the bin. It’s just as silent there as it ever has been since the SONOS engineers reworked the software.

SONOS as silent as the grave.

​@Feduptothebackteeth, I get that you are frustrated with the app, just as many others are, but I have to say I admire you for making the decision to get rid of the thing that was causing you frustration. After a year, if H had issues with my speakers, I would have done the same thing..

I just wish you would have posted it for sale as apposed to tossing it in the bin. I would love to add a One to my system! Im always looking for a good deal on Sonos stuff…

That being said, there has been so much done, in recent times, to make the app stable again for many who have had issues since last year. There are many members here who have great insight to help users enjoy their speakers again.

As ​@Rhonny stated, asking for help first, may have remove all the frustration built up over the past 12 months..

In the bin:

2 x Sonos Boosts (almost worthless)

Sold on eBay:

2 x Sonos Ports

Sold on tradeinforcash.co.uk

2 x PLAY:1s + a PLAY:5

Just short of £600 for that lot, which eased the pain of spending around £2K on Bluesound equivalents. They sound just as good (better in the case of their NODE after DIRAC Live room tuning) and the app works beautifully, unlike the travesty that Sonos visited upon long term, loyal customers on May 7th 2024.

My love of music has been restored!

How much did you get for the ports? 

After upgrading to Era’s, I recently sold several Play:1’s on eBay, upgraded to latest S2 system software, and reset. I was hesitant at first as not a regular eBay user, and concerned the buyers may come back if unable to add to their S2 systems.

No issues, positive feedback. ‘Real world’ experience tells me there are lots working Sonos systems, and buyers willing to purchase working Sonos devices that are not longer used. If you are not sure its working, you can still sell, just advertise as not working. Many buyers will take a punt, as it may actually work on their own environment.

People are buying Ports for £200-£300 on eBay at moment. 

About £200 each, and in 3 day auctions they garnered a lot of interest too. Have to say, eBay is not what it was - far less actual auctions and when you sell stuff, they keep the money for several days in “your account”. In fact of course this is sharp practice on their part and they are making millions off all that capital, however temporarily it is theirs and most definitely, not yours...

Thank you. I see them listed for more than that in my location (marketplace, not eBay) but was curious about the amount of an actual sale.
 

I can say that if I only had a play1 I probably wouldn’t go through the hassle of selling either. But recycling or giving it away would be better than binning it.
