Used video games in Cairns typically sell for A$10 to A$77 (about $7 to $54). Individual games sell slowly and bundles sell fast, so decide early which of yours is worth listing alone and group the rest.
Selling video games in Cairns
Cairns is the gateway to the reef and lives on tourism, which gives it a working population that arrives, stays a season or two and moves on. It is also genuinely tropical, so humidity and the wet season shape what survives here and what does not.
The seasonal workforce turns over constantly and people leaving the country sell everything at once rather than piece by piece. Travel and water gear moves particularly quickly, bought for a trip and sold at the end of it.
The centre is compact and walkable but almost everything residential is a drive away, so agree whether you are meeting in town or at an address. For anything electrical, meeting somewhere you can plug it in is worth the small extra effort.
Humidity here is relentless, so ask where the item has been stored. Anything with a circuit board, a lens or upholstery suffers in an unventilated room, and mould in a camera or a mattress is not worth any discount.
Handing it over in Cairns

Put in the description
- Platform and region for every title
- Whether manuals or inserts are present
Platform first, then whether it is a bundle: “PS4 Game Bundle — 8 Titles Including FIFA and GTA V”. Naming two or three recognisable titles in the title pulls in searches for those games specifically. For a single valuable game, list it alone with the exact edition.
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.
