Used game controllers in Worcester, Massachusetts typically sell for $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 Worcester
Worcester is the second-largest city in its state and the centre of its region, with a remarkable number of colleges for its size, a substantial medical school and a manufacturing history that includes the invention of the smiley face here.
A very large number of colleges clear student housing each May, which makes the annual cycle unusually big for a city this size. Industrial decline left tooling in private hands.
The city is hilly and winter parking bans are enforced after snowfall. Check both the approach and the current parking rules before planning a collection.
Worcester, in Massachusetts, has around 206,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Boston, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
