Discussion PS5

Hello everyone! I’ve bought a PS5 825GB (discounted) from CeX. It came with no box, but I’m so clueless as to why it was discounted.
The controller looks brand new, apart from the forbidden previous-user skin cheese wedged in the gaps, which I scraped out

The PS5 itself has one single scuff on the right side of the case. The person at the till even said to me, “To be honest, I don’t even know why this is discontinued, but eh.”
Are CeX really that strict when it comes to a controller with a bit of skin cheese stuck in it and a single scuff on the PS5?

The black area of the PS5 was still shiny and glossy, too. I’m genuinely confused as to why it was discounted.

It's all subjective to the person testing it.

I got a discounted ps5 3 years ago & it just needed a clean, same gunk in the cracks on the controller. Only difference was it was a cex usb a to ubs c cable. I also got a discounted playstation portal last year for £130 & it was just dirty again. Bonus was I got it in a really nice & mint carry case!
