Used game controllers in Albury typically sell for A$29 to A$96 (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 Albury
Albury sits on the Murray at the border and functions as one city with its twin across the river, on the main road and rail corridor between the two largest cities in the country. That makes it a logistics town as much as a river one, and goods move through it constantly.
Transport and distribution work brings people in on contracts, and the river and lake nearby mean water equipment gets bought enthusiastically and sold on within a couple of seasons by people who used it less than they planned.
Confirm which side of the river the item is on before anything else. It is a short drive but a different state, and for anything registered the paperwork is not the same on both banks.
Albury, in New South Wales, has around 95,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Albury
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

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.

Where can I sell a game controller in Albury?

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.
