Used Nintendo games in Melbourne typically sell for A$19 to A$96 (about $13 to $67). Nintendo titles hold value like nothing else in gaming — first-party games barely depreciate, so check each cartridge before you price the bundle.
Selling Nintendo games in Melbourne
Students arrive in February and leave in November, which inverts the northern-hemisphere rhythm. The inner suburbs also carry a lot of share-house accommodation, and share houses reshuffle constantly rather than seasonally.
The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.
Melbourne has around 5.1 million people in Victoria, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.

Working out what yours is worth
- Check the cartridge contacts for corrosion

Name the titles: “Nintendo Switch Games — Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Kart 8, Animal Crossing”. First-party Nintendo titles are searched by name and hold their price, so listing them individually often totals more than a bundle. Say whether cases and inserts are complete.
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.
