Used game controllers in Allahabad typically sell for ₹1,900 to ₹6,500 (about $20 to $67). Controllers are judged on stick drift and trigger wear, and drift is the fault that ends most of them.
Selling a game controller in Allahabad
Allahabad is a historic city at the confluence of the rivers, with a major university and an enormous population of students preparing for competitive examinations. Books and study furniture dominate the second-hand market.
The examination cycle governs everything: candidates arrive, study and leave, selling books and furniture as they go. Those departure windows are when supply and value are both at their best.
Study materials sold at the end of a preparation cycle are excellent value, but check editions and for missing pages. Syllabuses change and an outdated edition is worth much less.
Allahabad, in Uttar Pradesh, has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Lucknow, Kanpur and Ghaziabad are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Allahabad
Demand climbs ahead of the festival season and again in the run-up to wedding season, when clothing, jewellery and home items all move faster.

Do the sticks drift?
