Used game controllers in Torquay 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 Torquay
Torquay is the main resort of the English Riviera, built on hills around a harbour with palm trees along the front, and it is the birthplace of Agatha Christie. The tourism economy is genuinely seasonal and the population skews older.
Guesthouse and holiday flat furnishings are replaced on a commercial cycle here, and downsizing supplies well-kept older furniture. Seasonal workers set up and clear accommodation twice a year.
The town is built on steep hills above the harbour. Establish the approach and how many steps there are before agreeing a price on anything heavy.
Torquay, in England, has around 65,000 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 Torquay
Two practical things shape a UK sale. Bank holidays and the run-up to Christmas slow collections right down, so build a few extra days in. And postage from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland, the Highlands and the islands carries surcharges that catch sellers out — quote for the buyer’s actual postcode rather than a flat rate.

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.

List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The town is built on steep hills above the harbour, so for anything heavy establish the approach rather than only the address. The harbour and the front are the landmarks everyone uses.
Is it official or third party?
Say plainly. Official controllers are worth considerably more and buyers can tell from the photographs anyway.
