Used gaming headsets in Bristol typically sell for £15 to £80 (about $20 to $110). Headsets sell on compatibility and on two failure points buyers know to check: the ear cushions and the microphone.
Selling a gaming headset in Bristol
Two large universities give the usual summer turnover, and the concentration of house-shares across the north of the city means furniture and kitchen kit moves between households constantly rather than only in June.
The city is hilly and the centre is congested, so a lot of people genuinely do collect small things by bike. For anything larger, the harbourside and central streets are tight on parking and it is worth agreeing a specific spot rather than an area.
On a used bike, ask about the frame first and the components second. Components are replaceable and a cracked or repaired frame is not, and it is the one thing photographs routinely hide.
Bristol, in England, has around 470,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Bristol

Light and easy to post in a padded box. Include every adapter and the dongle, and coil cables loosely rather than tightly to avoid stressing the connectors.
