Used game controllers in Bath typically sell for £15 to £50 (about $20 to $67). Controllers sell constantly because they break constantly, and the only question a buyer really has is whether the sticks drift.
Selling a game controller in Bath
Bath is a Georgian city built in honey-coloured stone around Roman baths, and the whole city is a World Heritage Site. It has two universities, a substantial tourism economy and some of the most expensive housing outside the capital.
Two universities clear student housing every June. Georgian housing turns over with genuinely old contents, and the city’s affluence means goods are replaced rather than worn out.
The centre has severe vehicle restrictions and the streets are Georgian and narrow. Agree where a vehicle can actually stop before you agree a price on anything large.
Bath, in England, has around 95,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Bath
The UK has the deepest second-hand habit of any of our markets — charity shops, car boot sales and online resale have been mainstream here for decades, so buyers arrive already comfortable with used goods and already know roughly what things are worth.

Put in the description
- Platform and exact model or generation
- Whether the sticks drift, tested and stated
Platform, model and colour: “PS5 DualSense Controller, White, No Drift”. Platform compatibility is the search. The phrase no drift is worth including only if you have actually tested for it, because it is the first thing the buyer will check.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Common questions
Where can I sell a game controller in Bath?
List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. The centre has severe vehicle restrictions and the streets are Georgian and narrow, so arrange anything large for outside it. The city sits in a steep bowl, so ask about steps rather than only the floor.
Do the sticks drift?
Test in a menu that shows stick input and report exactly what you see. This is the entire question for a used controller.
