Selling Nintendo games in Phoenix
Seasonal residents arrive for the winter and leave in spring, and departures put furniture and sports equipment onto the market in a concentrated burst each year. Sun damage is the check worth making on anything that has lived outside.
Between June and September, meetings happen early in the morning or after dark for obvious reasons. The city is flat and parking is plentiful, so collecting large items is easy once the temperature allows it.
Sun is the thing that kills goods here. Check plastics, upholstery and rubber on anything that lived outdoors, and expect fading and brittleness even on items that were only a couple of summers old.
Phoenix, in Arizona, has around 1.6 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Tucson, Mesa and Chandler are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Phoenix
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.

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.
