Used game controllers in Victoria typically sell for C$28 to C$94 (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 Victoria
Victoria is the provincial capital, on the southern tip of the island, with the mildest climate in the country and a great deal of preserved heritage architecture. It has a naval base, a university and a population that skews considerably older than the mainland’s.
Downsizing and estate clearances are the dominant source, and because the housing stock is genuinely old so is much of what comes out of it. Naval postings and the university add two further cycles on top.
Heritage housing here means narrow stairs and tight turns. Measure the stairwell rather than the doorway, because the half-landing is what actually defeats a sofa in these buildings.
Victoria, in British Columbia, has around 95,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Victoria
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.

Common questions
Where can I sell a game controller in Victoria?
List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. The inner harbour and the downtown are compact and walkable, which makes small handovers easy. Heritage housing means narrow stairs and doorways, so measure before committing to anything large.
Does it come with a cable?
Mention it. Cables are cheap but a controller arriving without one cannot be charged or paired immediately.
