Used game controllers in Orange typically sell for A$29 to A$96 (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 Orange
Orange sits high enough to have genuine cold winters and occasional snow, which makes it cool-climate wine and apple country, and there is a large gold mine on its doorstep. That gives it both an agricultural economy and a mining payroll, which is an unusual combination.
Mine rosters bring households in and out on contract cycles, while the surrounding orchards and vineyards run on a seasonal workforce. Cold-weather clothing moves here on a genuine seasonal cycle rather than a fashion one.
On anything stored in a shed over winter, check for damp and for frost damage. It gets genuinely cold here, and water that has frozen inside a pump, a hose or a motor does damage that is invisible until it runs.
Orange, in New South Wales, has around 42,000 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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a game controller in Orange?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. Driving is easy and the centre is compact. Winter here is real rather than nominal, so for anything being collected in the colder months it is worth agreeing a daylight time.
Does it come with a cable?
Mention it. Cables are cheap but a controller arriving without one cannot be charged or paired immediately.
