Second-hand gaming in London, Ontario typically sells for C$9 to C$1,700 (about $7 to $1,200). Generation and completeness set the price. A console with its original controller, cables and box is worth substantially more than the same console loose in a carrier bag.
Buying gaming in London
London, Ontario is a mid-sized university and hospital city surrounded by farmland. The student population is large relative to the city, and the academic calendar governs the second-hand market more clearly here than in a bigger centre.
Consoles and games are compact, high value for their size and easy to test, which makes them one of the safest things to buy face to face. The buyer wants to see it turn on and load something, and that takes a couple of minutes.
What to check in person
Check the storage and see how much is genuinely free, and confirm any download codes were never redeemed, since a used code is worth nothing. On cartridge machines, inspect the contacts and the label, which is where counterfeits give themselves up.
Collecting it in London
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
Easy to drive and easy to park, so collection is straightforward year-round apart from the depths of winter. The student districts are concentrated, which makes collecting several items in one trip realistic.

Leases across the student areas turn over together at the end of the academic year, and that window puts more furniture on the market than the rest of the year combined. Winter here is cold enough to slow everything down.
Blow out the vents and wipe the controllers down beforehand, since these collect dust in a way buyers notice immediately. Be plain about stick drift, a noisy drive or a scratched disc, and have a television to hand so it can be demonstrated properly. Peaks sharply before Christmas and again when a new console generation is announced.
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
